Power of Menzerna PO203s... on oxidized headlamps

[E300Diesel]

I tackled a simple wash and wax of the other half`s `03 Corolla tonight. The headlamps started getting a little rough. I brought out the Makita, a small orange CCS pad (4" or so), and some of the aforementioned product. Both lamps were in similar condition previously. Can`t really see in the "before" photo, but head on the lamps were Very hazy and cloudy.



Results, MAGIC!



They are not perfect, but for lamps that will probably re-haze in the future, a job well done. And it took me say, 20-30 seconds per lamp.

No wetsanding at all. I`ve found from my encounters, which are not many, if the surface appears oxidized only (feels smooth), then pads/wool and various compounds/polishes can do the trick.



If the surface feels rough, then I would commence with wetsanding paper and then to compounds/polishes....

Good job. I believe any light polish will take out hazing, but scratches are another thing.
