Went on a mission to clean out some of my detailing gear today and found a nice new pack of 3m 2000 wet and dry, so as my lights had seen better days, I thought I would have a go.
Lights at the start both pretty tatty:
So all taped up on with a splash of water and sand away:
Soon got bored so came up with a cunning plan:
Take one old pad, cut out wet and dry, double up some gaffer tape, slap wet and dry on pad and then on to the DAS = win!
Sand away and end up with:
On to the polishing stage:
In action:
Finish polishing up and the result:
Shiny! But in need of a touch of protection so:
One coat if AF TC and then two of the FK.
Mmmm beading:
I had no idea how messy this job was:
Whole front end is white with wet sanding residue and polish, ah well a job for tomorrow!
I would say I managed about 90 - 95% correction so will probably buzz them over again in the summer, but it's amazing what a difference a nice clean set of lights makes to the front end!
