Hi everyone,

It's that time of the year again, winter is coming and this section of the forum seems very quiet, not many people are posting anything regarding detailing.

I figured I would post some pics of headlight reconditioning work I had done this summer to keep the Detailing section alive.

Sorry, the quality of some pics isn't that great.

Enjoy!

Thanks Alex!

Good to see you're still browsing the forum even in the off season.

tu le fais a la polisseuse avec compound ou sablage a leau?

Tout depend sur l'etat de les lumieres. Des fois juste faire un compound c'est assez, mais les voitures que tu vois sont faites avec le sablage a l'eau.
 
I'd like to do my headlights. but have no experience with wet sanding etc...

does anyone know where i can buy this kit instead?

edit: my headlights are glass. would this still work?
 
I believe there is a company called Diamondite that makes products for glass polishing, the only problem is that the local detailing suppliers may not carry it. You can order it from autogeek.net since they ship to Canada. If not, you can also try some Meguiar's #105, I know that many people have used it on windshields, as well as side and rear windows without any issues. If you don't have a DA polisher, you can also use it by hand. Just be careful not to generate a lot of heat if you use it with a DA.
