    Looks good. Nice job. What did you use to seal the headlights. Also what we're your steps?

    Thank you!
    Wetsanding started with 600grit followed by 1500 then 2500 (highest I could find).

    Then yellow LC pad with a compound.
    Orange LC pad with a polish.
    Then waxed by hand.

    Didn't have any actual sealant so I just did all I could with what I had.

    Looks good--there in HI you should think about Opti-Lens or some spar urethane or it's going to fade back pretty quick.

    Nice job! A polymer sealant is a good choice to finish the job. I did my daughters car last year and sealed with BF Crystal Seal. They have not yellowed or hazed and I have not reapplied the sealant to date. I have Wolfgang Headlight Sealant too, but haven't tried it out yet.
