The car arrived dirty and full of swirls...

AFTER WASH AND CLAY I STARTED WITH UDM, POLISHING SFX-2 PAD AND MENZ.RD3.02/ 106FA , DANASE SEALANT , CARNAUBA WAX AND FK1-425 WIPED

ENJOY!!!!

It looks great! Those headlights look like they could use some polishing.

Can be tough. Just polished the headlights on my buddies mustang. They were terribly oxidized (like every mustang). I had to remove them, 600grit, 1500grit, 3000grit, scratch-x. Now you can see through them. Oxidized lexan is a *****.



Too much time and effort for a customer car for something they probably wouldn't even notice being blinded by the reflections off the paint

To be honest he didn't even asked me to do something with them

erstklassige! [first-class] The owner can get new headlight lenses. He should be thrilled at the quality of that finish.

Great job. I'm surprised at the amount of correction you were able to achieve.



Is it a 2001 car?

Good job on the car. Might've used some extra passes on some parts. You should try some 4" pads for the UDM, might give you some extra umph. Also, step farther away when you take your pictures, and try to zoom in with your lens. It might help a little bit.

Amazing job!!!

Great job man. Those are amazing results, especially considering that you are using a UDM.

Looks pretty good to me man. You could probably hit those headlights with some wet sandpaper and then follow up with compound and polish. I also reiterate what artikxscout mentioned earlier. Be sure to label or section off what you're before and after pictures are so there is no confusion too.



Great job!
