I also repaired my first set of clouded
headlights this weekend. The car was a 99 Dodge Avenger, I started off by wetsanding with 800 grit. Followed by 1500 grit and then 2000 grit, after all that sanding, the lenses still looked really bad, Then I whipped out the rotary and went to town with
meguiars medium cut cleaner, followed by
meguiars show car glaze. Then I applied some
NXT 2.0 for a little extra protection, the lenses turned out great.
It's nice to see how many different products and procedures one can do to achieve the same outcome.
Also, the total time for my "re conditioning" was approx 45 minutes.
