What to use after wet sanding headlights?

[Gsrjake]

What's a good compound to use after wet sanding the headlights? M105, M205? I was using 600 gritt all the way too 3000 gritt. I'll be using the pc with a 4" pad, any advice would be appreciated!

I was thinking I would use this as a sealant for normal headlight restoration

And have this as an upgrade option.

I use plast-x I think it's made by Meguiars OTC after I wet sand 3000

I just need a good polish to cut the rest of the sanding scratches. I'd rather use the plast x it'll be for customers cars unless they wanna pay for the opti coat lol

Does that polish them pretty well? Just a white foam pad or what?

So you just want to polish the oxidation out? And not have to wet sand?

Yeah it gets them pretty close to perfect after wetsand. I use a white 3" pad on a drill

I have done headlights, however I sanded them by hand. It'll get the job done. I however prefer to work by machine, if given the option.

I plan on doing my headlight work like Critical Details. However I am thinking of having 2 different options. One with Meguiar's Headlight Protection and the other for an upgrade option with Opti Lens.

I could be wrong on my package options however.

This order should be getting purchased by me from AG within the next week. So I'll be tuning in as to what others have to say.

I use a 4 inch pad attached to my drill,I first buff it with m105,, m205 and then Meg's PlastX.
Then glaze with EZ Cream Glaze, Griot's Paint Sealant then top it with NXT wax.
The drill is what does it for me, good RPM's with an orange hook and loop pad. LC Hex

You use a 3 step lsp on headlights?

I have never been able to polish my headlights to FLAWLESS condition. Meaning the Lens HAVE NO SWIRLS or SCRATCHES.
No matter how hard i try, there is always swirls and scratches....
Even after i wet sand....
