Post by REDDERthanyours »

yup.. bought the kit to polish them... then i notice it is only for "stage 1" damage...

do i jump right in and polish them or do i need to sand them first?

How bad are your headlights? Scratched?

After using the kit? Yeah, I used the Turtle Wax one (from memory) and it wasn't too flash. Either get them done professionally or take your time using the successive grades of sandpaper and buff it with some decent stuff.

I think I went 800 > 1200 > 2000, buff. I am sure there is a guide on this forum here somewhere.

Probably want to use some sort of sealant on it after too...
