Claying headlights before polishing?

[Eldorado2k]

Does anyone bother claying headlights before polishing them?

Also, does anyone have any experience with trying to restore the headlights on a Corvette like this?



How beast are those headlights to restore? Do you think sanding will be a must? Or are they cooperative by any chance?

When I restored the headlights on my 04 Ram, I bought the Meguiars medium kit

How bout a Corvette?

I see no reason why the kit wouldn't work for you. Even comes with a sealant. I used the kit with my GG3

Not all headlights are created equal. You can restore some headlights, such as these on a Volkswagen Jetta in about a minutes time with AIO Headlight Polish...





But then you can run into headlights like these on a BMW 7 Series.



Polish as aggressive as you can and even after an hour they simply will not allow you to get them completely done.



There's certain vehicles that have headlights that are notoriously difficult to restore unless you sand them... I'm wondering about these Corvette lights before I dive in.

Maybe find a wrecked Corvette at a junkyard and buy a headlight to test
