MicroMesh Headlight Restorer-pics

[mav63]

I bought the MicroMesh Headlight Restoration kit (http://www.sisweb.com/micromesh/headlight_kits.htm). My test subject is a very opague headlight off of a Mustang.

I used a 3.5in backer on my PC which is all I had even though the kit comes with 3in wetsand discs. Total time per headlight +/-45min.



Here are the results:

After the 2400, 3600, 4000, and 12000 wetsand followed by the included polish

I wasn`t happy with the results so I followed with Menzerna IP, FP, and PO85RD to see what would happen

It finished it off nicely but not as good as I would have liked. In close up, you can see the sanding pattern.

I guess it is cheaper than buying new headlights:

Looks pretty good. I think 220 may be too aggressive, hence the left over sanding marks.

The final turnout looks great.



I definately would`ve started around 800 and go to 12000. Follow that with PG then FPII.

I agree with ZaneO. When I wetsanded the lights on my truck I started around 600 and worked my way up. Regardless it`s a big improvement
