Headlights corrected! 3M kit worked wonders

[Joef]

So today I thought I'd sort out my yellowey hazed and swirled headlights using the 3M kit off eBay.

Before: these pictures don't really seem to show how bad the dullness and yellow patches where for some reason but they where pretty grim in real life.







During:







One done:



Result:



Iphone pictures don't do it much justice but they've come up a treat, like new. I would recommend the 3M kit to anyone.

Can you get away using a da to do this?

Da as in a air driven body shop sander or Dual action polisher. Yes it can be done.

Forgot to add lol, that kit works wonders, paintwork looks nice and glossy to!

I'm not sure what you mean bud.

*edit* just read the previous post.

Da polisher yeah

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Yeah, can be done, small backing plate suitable for the sanding disks

Never ventured into DA polishers so I don't know exactly what's needed.

Unless you mean, use the 3M kit and then polish back up with the DA, which in that case , you'll be fine
