Yeah think I'll have a dabble. Surely must need to sand as well?

 

[imprezaworks]

I've not seen any reviews yet, although not looked too much

@Hawk182 used a rotory polisher and some compound that I can't remember the name of to do his headlights without sanding, they came out really well.

Tom, what was the compound?

What if you don't have all the fancy tools?

 

[imprezaworks]

Will be amazed if it works

 

[bloke]

just don't rub to hard with them otherwise the scratches will go right through to your back bumper, honest a car washer told me:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Ah, sorry. Did not realise you were doing it by hand.

Erm, find a local person to bum a polisher off lol?

Just don't get the Quixx kit that's designed to be used by hand. It's absolutely shite.

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I don't understand why people buy these kits.

2000 then 2500 wet and dry paper followed by G3 Scratch remover does the job perfectly.

G3 is about £8 and the wet and dry paper is a couple of quid. I've done about a dozen sets of headlights with them and I haven't used a fifth of the G3 yet.

Oh I also use a small amount of Dlux to seal them.

 

[bloke]

This is what happens with 500 grit

feather it out around the edges and it will be fine.
