Polishing head lights

[carguy]

Decided to polish my wifes 97 madza proteage, head lights were yellow, used 1500grit wetsand paper made several passes, checked out the lamp still needed some sanding, made a few more passes and that was it. Changed my pad on my pc to 4" orange and tryed menerza p106 turned on 5 and went to polishing, made a few passes,wiped with off, ok but needed more again p106 and few more passes, checked it out and nice look, then took grey pad and finished it with xmt 1 and wow. Menerza did the trick, took me 15 mins per headlamp not bad, another service to offer my customers. I decided to do my truck the same way and wow used p106, then did another vehicle all came out with amazing results.
Menerza works well really nice.

...headlight restoration is one of those easy upsells....glad you discovered a technique that works for you....make sure to slap on a layer of sealant to help protect the fresh plastic you just polished...just so you know try just using xmt 1 by itself on an orange pad...you'd be surprised how much it can correct and its a cheaper alternative to 106....invest in some 3000 unigrit if you can find it...it will bring headlights to be that much crisper looking

Speaking of 3000 unigrit, where do you find it? No luck to date.
