Headlight Restoration

[KStromberg]

I've been sitting on this Crystal View Kit from Wally World for awhile now. I have used it before with phenomenal results. So, this afternoon, I decided to recondition and seal the passenger side headlight.

Before:

After:

Now I just have to go out and put one more seal coat on.

If any of you guys haven't had the opportunity to try this product, I urge you to. You will be amazed and it is not a high-maintenance polishing method. Recondition, seal, ding fries are done.

That looks great.

I think my problem is that mine have some fogginess inside the housing and I may need to open them up to polish the inside of the lenses too.

Looks good!
Now, this is the kit that requires no wet-sanding or anything, right? What exactly are the steps? Did you take the headlights out of the car to do it?

Wet-sanding is required. A whole 4 minutes worth LOL It has brown sandpaper (1000grit) and blue sandpaper (very fine grit) CV#1 polish and CV#2 quick drying sealer with hydro-weave cloths. The headlight was left in the car while I did it. EASY AS PIE!
