Headlight correction- first attempt

[dazling84]

Hi all,

Decided today i'd do something about my headlights- as you all know they suffer from weathering over time and can look a little untidy.
About 40 mins per headlight I finally had them back to looking good again.

Used a polishing pad with drill attachment, grade 800 and 1200 wet and dry, Maguires scratch x.

Much better! I did this last week as mine were well weathered and it didn't turn out very well, but I didn't use a machine polisher or drill attachment :dead: Where did you get one from out of interest?

Got it from halfords mate, roughly £6 with the required polishing attachment pad- put it on the drill, makes it so much easier.

Thanks mate, I'll have to go and get one and attempt to sort mine out properly!

Looks very good, and is on my list for the weekend. Are they 172 Xenons, or did you split the headlights and paint the inners?

Some came with black inserts earlier ones iirc.

Cheers- it's easy enough to do, if I can do it anyone can! the car itself is a 182, with xenons, not sure on whether the grey or black inners is standard or not tbh.

So i guess you have to use a drill attachment for the scratch remover then? was going to attempt it with elbow grease alone!
