Cloudy headlights -fixed

[VX KAT]

I used 1500 sandpaper and the Plast-X. It worked pretty good, but sounds like others have gotten even better results.

I used a foam type applicator on my orbital buffer to apply the Plast_X....what type did you guys use?

Do you hand rub with the 1500 or use buffer?

I used 2000 grit ...rubbed out on a steel sheet first ,to make it even finer..

Do you hand rub with the 1500 or use buffer?

...then Plast-x on red conical foam buffer mounted on a hand drill.

They look like new....but its scary how bad they look after the sand papering!

i just tried buffing mine with foam applicator and rubbing off with terry cloth... worked great on the headlight that was a little hazy...but didnt work at all on the headlight that is really really bad...

maybe ill try the sandpaper and see what happens...

Hey pbkid...I'd use worn out 2000 grit to start if I were you.

Loads of water , even a little dish soap.

Its gonna look HORRIBLE at first..
...but the Plast-x takes out all the marks ,eventually!

Yeah, I freaked when I first rubbed the 1500 and saw what it did! It says Plast-X has "diminishing" abrasives, so I had to keep applying it and applying it to the foam buffer...but the abrasives seem to break down/diminish pretty quickly.

I did each for like 20 mins & lots of Plast-X, but I've got to do some more with the 1500 & then buff forever. They definitely improved, but I think I can get them better.

Not sure if adding Blue Magic might help here? Don't know if it has abrasives or chemical? Anybody know?

Did 1200 grit then 2000 and used plastx looks mint, really impressed. no more ugly cloudy and distorted looking headlights

i did 1500-2000 wet sanding then the polishing pads a while back.. to touch them up i use blue magic at first then go to plast-x to finish it off.. works like a charm
