restoring headlights, reaching into the corners

**ride5150** · 05-28-2011, 12:33 AM

ive noticed that a lot of headlights have a shape that doesnt allow you to reach everywhere with a polisher, even with a 4" pad. after wetsanding, how do you take out the wetsanding marks that you cant get to with a polisher? terry towel and compound?
i have a GG polisher btw

I use a MF and compound - heavy cut compound...... this should work for you(depending on the headlight).

I used a foam pad from the 3M kit on a drill. It is a very small diameter pad, may even be smaller than 3 inches. Never had a problem reaching into the tightest corners. I have also used a Mother's foam cone with good results.
