Usage Recommendations
Start by washing the headlight to remove surface dirt and use tape to mask surrounding paintwork to avoid accidental abrasion. Attach the appropriate grit disc to your drill and begin with the coarser P800 or P1000 to remove heavier oxidation, then progress to the finer P1500 and P3000 for smoothing. Work with light pressure and keep the surface slightly damp to prevent overheating. 🚗
After sanding, apply the supplied polish with the polishing head to restore transparency and then finish with the sealer to add a protective layer. Allow the sealer to cure for the time recommended by the manufacturer before exposing the lamp to heavy rain or a car wash. Consider that older or deeply cracked lenses may not return to factory new clarity and professional replacement might still be necessary.
Benefits
The integrated approach of sanding, polishing and sealing in one kit removes the need to buy separate consumables. Performing the restoration at home can save time and reduce costs compared with professional services, according to the manufacturer. The variety of abrasive grades included helps adapt the process to different degrees of lens degradation, which improves control over the final result.
