    Need headlight repair advice after long cooking bird bomb

    Okay previous headlight correction I did last year. Client did not want to pay for a coating so slapped some 845 on them. Well one of them go bird bombed a few weeks ago and owner did not keep up with taking care of them so it is stained/etched milky white color. It baked on the headlights for a few weeks. So need a quick easy solution or are we talking another correction again.
    I`m trying to keep the cost low for the client since he is a repeat not big money jobs but a repeat.
    I was thinking clay, 1200 then 1500 then try some Adapt on them. I`m not planning on sanding the whole headlight just where the damage is.

    Thanks in advance

    It shouldn`t take much time to knock that out starting with the 1200. I`ve never had etching problems on headlights but I can`t imagine it being much more difficult than taking off a failing clear coat. I`m thinking you might want to step up the sandpaper even finer for finishing unless 1500 is the finest grit you have. I`m not sure Adapt will buff out 1500 scratches without working the plastic for awhile.
