Headlight Polishing Made TOO Easy?!?! - Detailers All In One Headlight Restoration Polish vs. oxidized headlights

This is exactly the information i needed!!! I've been resisting buying a dedicated headlight sealant but have DP Wheel Coating and love it. Last weekend I clean up my DD headlights w/ Meg's PlastX and can already see them starting to fade. I can't wait to try this out tonight after a quick prep polish!!

Todd - Would a 17% IPA wipe down after PlastX be ok in place of using DP coating prep polish? And you worked the DP WC until it was gone, and didn't follow-up by buff it w/ a clean micro fiber right?

Thanks, Todd!

I am definitely gonna give this stuff a try with my new mini. :)

Todd, besides this kit I am also looking at getting some of the Meguiars sanding/finishing discs. I don't think I need all the grits, but will definitely need a few. Can you recommend some? Or anyone else that has experience in this area.

I used the Black Label wheel coating on mine. Loved the results.

Even IPA can leave a little residue. I am sure it would fine, but for best results you should use the DP Polish..

Are you using the discs for headlights? Paint? What size?

The DP WHEEL COATING was a great tip! Coated mine this morning, along with the tail lights. NEVER LOOKED BETTER!

The Black Label Wheel or Black Label Surface Coatings are outstanding on headlights as well.
 
So, i tried this combo yesterday. But didn't get the results i was seeking.

I paired up the LC Foam Wool with my GG 6" w/ a 3.5" BP
Each headlight was cut in 2 section, each section received 2 application of the DP AIO polish. About 4+ passes on each section / per application.
Speed 4-5

Although a lot of impurities was removed, but the headlight is still cloudy, not crystal clear.

Pics can be found below.

Hmmmm.... I got results with in seconds, but found it best to work the polish for about 8 section passes. How much speed/pressure did you use?
