How to Clean your Oxidized Headlights. Under $30

[mike_dmt]

My brother owns a detail shop. Long and short, he sees oxidized lenses all day long. Never has he recommended wet-sanding them, let alone with 400 grit. A high speed buffer with a bit of scratch removing product, followed by a simple polish works great. Plus, its less than 5 minutes per headlight, max, even if you mask off the paint to keep splatter down.

Your results look good, but the pics still show a bit o haze even after the re-install.

Worst case, he might do a quick 2000 grit wet sand, then the above mentioned steps.

Granted, a typical guy won't have a high speed buffer (quite different than an orbital), but maybe that's why we should all know a decent detailer....

My lights were really bad which may have kept any of the kits working. The only thing that worked for me was 2000 grit wet sandpaper that left no marks at all.
