    Smile Ap1 headlight lens restore for just $30buks!

    Just thought I post this up. I purchased the 3M headlight lens restorer kit for only $30.xx shipped from this seller
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...0940&viewitem=

    This is the cheapest i found compared to others which had ridiculous shipping prices.

    This kit is very good, made my lens look like brand new. Good for old hazy scratched Ap1 lights.

    I forgot to do a 'BEFORE' photo shoot.

    TIME TAKEN: approx 1-2hours (excluding taking on/off bumper which is optional)

    INSTRUCTIONS: Just follow the 3M kit instructions. EASY...

    TOOLS: - 1000rpm+ drill or rotary sander with 3" adapter. 3M kit comes with the 3" drill adapter.
    - masking tape
    - spray water bottle

    WET SANDED with 500 grit then 800 grit. It will get finer once you do the 3000 grit paper provided in 3m kit




    right lens polished with the 3M buffing pad and 3m polish compound (provided)


    left one done


    right one done








    here's my tools

    i wouldn't try with rear lights as it has a edged corners i believe? Sanding it may round it off.

    You should take out the black plastic in-front of the radiator while you have the bumper off.

    No point in getting the Greddy one for like 600 bucks? I wonder what the difference is.

    is it possible to do this without the 1000rpm+ drill or rotary sander with 3" adapter?
