ok... first i followed the thread on how to delaminate scratched headlights !!! didnt work... made my headlight worse after 3-4 hours of sanding one headlight then polishing and everything in that thread !!!! today i went to mitsubishi service and parts to see what they can do about it... and they said it will cost $800 each headlight !!!!! i do not have this kind of money lying around !!! does anyone know anything else i can try as i am desperate and cannot drive at night time now as my headlights will not show due to the condition of my headlights !!! please help !!

anyone ?

post up some pics man...

the important thing was to work your way up the sandpaper..... from 600grit to say 1800grit... then polish...

Worst case scenario, have a chat to sammi (missxfto) as she had hers profesionally done and they look brand new..

thats the really bad one which i spend 3-4 hours on...as u can see it made it worse !!!



havent touched this one yet after the results of the other one

can anyone help me ??

What grit sandpaper were you using and when you were polishing it did ya use the lambswool on a drill or did you do it with some old fashion elbow grese?

i followed all the instructions in the other thread... used a 1200grit sandpaper... and lambwool on the drill... only thing i didnt do properly was went fast straight away and got all polish everywhere !!! but did it again properly and slowly and thats it... all instructions were followed !!! any other assisstance ?

hmm not sure only other thing i can think of is the polish you used if it was the right one?

maybe cos i couldnt find any of the sharp x stuff.... so got some other one... brrand was "kitten".... cant remeber what it said on it... threw it away after i realised it was crap

That might be ya problem cause it recomends the maguers scratch x. i got mine at repco give it a shot and let us know how you go

yea ill give it a go... and other advice i got was to go to a panel beater to get someone to buff it up !!!... thanks for advice

big W has it as well you kneed to start with a 400-600 sand papper first by the look of the lights and also sand in a sercula patten then move up to a 800-1000 papper and then 1200-1400 to finish and then a good buff with scratch X

if you want we can get a DIY day planed as I know there are a number of ppl in syd that need it done, thats if you are in syd area that is

yea i am in syd.... and would appreciate someone to do for me as i have no idea.... monetary reward for someone to fix my lights for me !!!! ... as long as there is a DIY day !!!

keep me posted on the DIY day !!! and possibly make it ASAP ???

I didn't know Kitten made similar product like scratch X. It looks like you use normal cut and polish and from the scratch mark, you didn't seems use a drill either.
