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.
