i got this off autosalon magazine issue 73 pg 128 its for polishing headlights - to remove that cloudyness u get in old headlights.

step 1. with some medium cut polish,we dabbed some on a clean rag. microfibre cloths can also be used and a deeper cutting compound might be necessary for headlights with more degradation.

step 2. the cutting compound was applied in small sections at a time. circular motions were key to ensuring a consistent finish without leaving harsh scratches.

step 3. when the fibres on the cloth becomes black, you know it is working. When the area became filthy black, we moved onto a clean area of the rag.

step 4. our plastic polish of choice (mothers plastic polish) was applied to a clean rag or microfibre polishing cloth. the same circular buffing motion in step 2 was used with the plastic polish.

step 5. we finished off the much improved headlight with a fresh lick of wax for some extra protection.

we fixed the problem of cloudy lights by using polishes we had lying around, and they worked a treat. the aim is simply to remove that top layer of oxidisation, though some might argue that a specific headlight cleaner should be used. if your headlights are in worse condition, you may need to use sand paper. start off with 600 grit, move to 1000 the to 2000, while all the time making sure they are wet (wet sanding is less abrasive)
