Nice work man! That looked like an etching on the outside of the light, looks like a chemical of some sort dripped down, you can scrape it down with a razor, then sand with 600,1000,3000. Scraping it down with a razor is faster than sanding, it’s what body shop guys do to flatten runs after a paint job, works quick. If you would’ve sanded longer with the 400, you would’ve removed it completely, but the razor does a much faster job.
Sorry to hear that . Try using 400 grit. 1000, 2000 ,finally 3000 grit. Compound then the sealant. There should be no reason after that y it fails. Might be you didn't go all the way down to 400 grit . Many times 1000 grit is not enough
@@reowhite4862 how did you seal the headlight after compound/polishing? Clear coating can last a good year of protection or you can use Carnauba wax but that’ll last 4-6 months.
Genuine question ,since you wet santed the surface, didnt it stripped the clearcoat ? So after the restoration the headlight have no protection right ?
I used this on my gauge cluster and it did a bang up job. Haven't tried it on the headlights yet.
Iv just used exactly the same procedure on my vans headlight and they was bad but i used a sponge to polish on the drill and they are like new. 👍

No need for Sand Paper i use 3d tooth paste
Toothpaste is worse plus it's temporary and in heat the chemicals burn it to the plastic
