Head light scratch repair
Well i took the plunge and decided to remove the scratches from my head lights.
I must say the hardest part was actually building the courage to apply sand paper to them.
Process I under took:
Cleaned the car
Wax remover wipe down of the lense
Mask off the body work
The sand with 300 paper and moved up to 3000 over 5 steps
Machined polished with medium compound then a fine finish
Lastly used jet seal to seal the plastic and add UV protection.
I forgot to take before photos but they were pretty scratched.
They turned out pretty good.

Indeed it does look great! Now all you need to do is dry out the fog lamps and start polishing all over again yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ
