Handz Detailed: 2003 Cobra Headlight Restoration #2

[Handz]

So, I acquired another set of OEM 2003 Mustang Cobra Headlights. These ones came from a 10th Anniversary Cobra. They had some really weird sun damage from being cooked in the So Cal Sun... So i gave them a REALLY good Restoration. The ones took ALOT of time, I have a good 6 hours into them to remove all the defects. Also tried a few new products and liked the results.

came out awesome...what machine are you using? I`m assuming 4" pads?

I`m curious as to why it took so long? I`ve done a couple headlights and even with sanding it didn`t even take an hour to do it.

Looks like a great job. i am curious as to how you got close enough to the edges since most 96-04 mustang headlights have that weird rubber trim around them. Since with 600 grit doesnt seem like the tape would hold up to weel around the rubber.
