    Removing scratches headlight?

    My friend wanted to buy these head lights and wanted if these scratches were removable. It's kind of hard for me to see because of lighting but how would you guys proceed removing these?

    Start at 400 grit and move up?

    That's probably around where i would start. I have 500 grit, 1200 grit, and 2000 grit. Then I'd use heavy compound, M-105 then finish with M-205

    I would go ahead with the 400 since that is what I keep on hand as well.

    Use a good selant like Opti Seal. Or you could use Minwax Urethane.
