i wet sanded the entire plastic shell will 2000 grit wet/dry. then very carefully polished them out with 3m scratch remover. these weren`t the worst ive done, sometimes i will begin the process with 800 wet/dry, then 1500, then 2000. its real easy to burn the plastic with the circulur buffer(not orbital) and a wool pad. low to medium rpm is a safe zone and just dont stay in one spot to long. also, DO NOT TOUCH PAINT WITH THIS PROCESS. you will see primer in no time. i prefer to take the housing out of the car if at all possible. thanks and good luck. wes

Nice man, might be your first shot with the PC but you`ve definetly done this sort of thing before - when I first got into serious detailing, none of my work looked that good.

Excellent work on both! :)



I have a `99 626 and my headlights are beginning to oxidize a bit, but I just haven`t had time to really go after them like that. Maybe with the rain expected over the next few days I`ll have some time. :)
