My headlights been foggy ever since i bought the car and decided to finally have a go at it. I worked my way up from 1200, 1500, 2000, 3000 as per one of the DIY here. I've searched for some polishing products and ended up picking up the Plastx after reading some good review. But after wetsanding and applying plastx, its still very hazy.


I've removed all the grime and its super smooth, but the hazziness from the sanding wont go away. Possibly a diff product??

thanks

 

Plastx is to be used directly on the plastic without wetsanding...you need compound + polish to remove the sanding marks first. Plastx is more of an upkeep product.

 

ah ok, i just order some m105 and m205. hopefully thatll do the trick

 

M105 finishes down fairly well. You could probably go from M105 to Plastx. On the other hand, M205 is great for polishing the paint.

 

Some light cutting compound works great in most cases. I have wet sanded some stubborn ones with great results as well.

 

yea i dont know whats up, i followed one of the diy's here but cant seem to take off the scratches completely..

i have used m105 m205 and tried plastx with a buffer

 

hit it with some 1000 grit and soapy water, then go over it with 105/205

 

this might be too aggressive.... do you have access to a DA??? using a DA with 2000 or 3000 wetsand will smooth a lot out! sometimes when using an aggressive grit by hand will put too deep of scratches in. result is you will not be able to get those deep scratches completely out. if you can wetsand with a DA you will get a more even smoother result. then use the M105 and M205. post up some pix so we can see whats up.

 

id go 2000 grit wet sand. then use a pretty aggressive pad + polish combo. work my way down to something finer and seal.

 

3m works wonders!! I also put a 2 coats of meguiar's headlight UV protectant on it.
