Hi.

My car had one brand-new and one old somkey swirly headlight that i decided to wetsand. Originally i planned to use ordinary sanding paper grid 1000-1500-2000, but found This turtlewax headlight restorer kit.

Here is what i got:

First used the clarifying compound with bare blanket and the result was already very good.

But i decided to go for sanding also, kit came with 4 different grips. And i started from #1 and finally #4. Used about 5 mins per each grip.

Good job. A really good improvement.

I actually just went to see if they would benefit, but they look brand new already!
