How to save your oxidized Head Lamp
oxidized Head Lamp affect Millions of vehicles. majority of these aging is caused by the heat generated from the projection inside and exposed to the harsh environment like sun + improper wash making it worse in Malaysia, eg foam used! what we usually seeat the road side carwash, where one single foam used to clean entire car.....! wrong solvent use....degreaser ..+..FAB washing powder....+ strength = DAMAGE slowly after over time
Headlamp restoration or repair is part the process of restoring the brightness and clarity!
sharing with you my insight and perhaps it might trigger you to restore your own..................
tools requires

Polish
polish foam pad
Clay
Sand paper 1000 grit/ 1500 grit/2000 grit/3000 grit * if possible

Coating
estimating2-3 hours job and it may stretch to 5 hours per one single side
