Headlight cleaning kits

[davbell22602]

The best headlight restoration kits use sandpaper to remove the top layer of crud. That OTC Meg's kit only uses a buffer pad on a drill. Your best bet would be to gather a few materials yourself and do it. Similar to my thread, but you can easily do that by hand. I just did it with the polisher to look fancy.


Also, be sure it's stuff on the outside of the lens, and not condensation on the inside. I thought my buddy's old Jeep had crud on the outside, but when I went to polish them up I realized it was an interior housing problem.

I not sure if its on the outside yet. I know it doesn,t come off when using a fingernail. I might pickup a plastic putty knife at walmart tomorrow to be sure.

I have 2 sheets 400 and 1 sheet of 320 of the 3M wetordry sandpaper. Will that work?

Definitely, might even scratch the lens. I wouldn't use anything more abrasive than 1000 grit paper.

So lower the number th gritter it is then. Who sells 1000 grit wet dry sandpaper? Autozone?

1000 grit is finer than, 320. In other words using 1000 grit paper will give you a smoother finish than 320. Most auto parts stores carry a wide variety of grits.
