Headlight Scratch Removal

dHYUN · 06-19-07, 11:00 PM

Anyone know any good products or kits our there to get/help DEEP scratches in the headlight? i looked at some kits from advanced auto, and most of them were for clearing up yellow cloudiness. I already wetsanded, teh scratches, and put headlight glaze on them, and it helped a lot- no cloudiness, but the deep scratches are still there. Just wondering if you guys had any advice for such a thing...

if its really deep, u wont be able to get it out. u can try sanding it with a lower grade paper a PC on it with a heavy rubbing compound and see if that helps at all.

Head lights are not really thaat expensive.. If your a real stickler for detail I'd go with new ones overall!
