    Noobs first try on headlight restoration

    Hello everyone,

    Did these for a friend the other day! I used M105 on a yellow lake country pad, then used M205 on an orange pad. Didn't need to breakout the sandpaper or anything. I used Liquid Glass on the headlights when I was done. Hope you enjoy the before and afters.

    Thanks,

    No Haze on the outside...they were totally smooth. Any left over looks to be on the inside. I didn't feeling like removing his lenses and all to get to the inside. He was happy with the results though. It was also overcast outside...

    looks good for not sanding it prior to buffing it. I bet he was happy, it looks a lot better than the before pictures.

    were the results pretty much like the pics before using the liquid glass?

    Looks great, I never tried using 105 and 205 on headlights. Only used Plastx which did an alright job. Going try it next time, only problem I don't have any yellow pads.

    Fantastic results! M105 and M205 works on anything. In fact, there is a thread at MOL where a person used M105 to clean leather!
