Default Headlamp & Fog light Lens Re-furbishment

For some time now I have been wanting to restore the passenger Headlamp Lens to match the newer Drivers side one.

As this was a DIY I have made an " Idiots Guide " to how to and decided to include the Fog Lenses as they are really looking shabby....

Besides the usual tools I only had to purchase various grades of water paper (abrasives) and a bottle of Meguairs PlastX.

Started with this ..... after in-situ sanding of the outer face of the lens.


And ended up with this..... Final mechanical polish to follow....


The grades of water paper/abrasive pad used are as follows ....

Pad 280, Paper 400/800/1000/1200/1500
