    Did you wet sand the headlights before polishing them? If not that's why it didn't clear up, get some high grit sandpaper and go over it a few times in different directions, then machine polish

      I think it's like 400 --- 600 -- 1000 --- 1200 ----1500 -- 2000 and last 3000 all with soapy water. Atleast that's what I did to mine and they came great. With machine polish it would look even better.

    Definitely wet sand, polish and then apply some UV lacquer on those headlights like others have said! Works. Also, so great to see you start this project right when I'm starting to build my SR20 S13 that's been sitting for years!!!

      The lights are most likely hazy on the inside too, you can open headlights with a heatgun pretty easy and can't really heat them too much. The easy way to go is to replace just the lens cover or try and remove the haze inside but most likely it isn't going to come out looking good. I modify headlight beams for eu spec as a hobby so it might be tricky for someone else

  • @radisnooker5
    @radisnooker5 Před 2 lety +252

    Those headlights are totally restorable! I've redone ones that were literally peeling or were completely hazed over and made them look like new. Just wet sand up to a fine grit, polish, then apply clearcoat. Can be done in an afternoon.

    As others have said with headlights, wet sanding with 1200+ grit wet and dry sand paper will remove the foggy film, then orbital polish with a cutting compound to remove the fine sanding marks, i used to do this way back in the day to various JDM cars when manufacturers used to mold the lenses with all the writing imprinted in the outside of the plastic. Using a razorblade style scraper, i would meticulously remove all the stamping then fine sand and then cut and polish, it would take me hours to do but would result in such a clean look. Once all this lockdown business has ended and international travel is once again allowed, my first trip is to Japan, i would gladly come and perform the task for free, without the expectation of return, other than singing some merch and taking a few pics...
