Some headlight restorations!

[kaval]

Kaval, that's some 1337 work on those Honda lights!! The JDM Integra lights look awesome.



Most headlight lenses are VERY hard and can be safely sanded down. Also they are quite thick. Even after some vigorous sanding, you're barely removing any plastic from the lenses.



However, when polishing the lenses with a compound, heat can be quite an issue. There are many headlight restoration "kits" out there thrown together for drill applications. I find the electric drill to be too tedious to operate. While spot repair air-driven drills are workable because of their weights, I find the electric drill too heavy for proper polishing. Rotary is the best machine to use even for headlight restorations.

Thanks for your comments and observations about the lenses. It's the same sort of thing I tell car owners quite a bit, as most of them are scared about removing material off the lens.



Rotary or nothing!

I use Hi-Tech Industries Magna Shine - I get tremendous results.Headlight Restoration
