Fixed Headlights That Were Badly Scratched

Nothing too crazy here, just wanted to show you all that the home kit does work really well for scratched or oxidized headlights. I used Meguiar's Headlight Restoration Kit. It was $29 at Auto Zone and took about 30 minutes, definitely worth it!


This is when I first started noticing the protective coat flaking off, it got progressively worse from there as you'll see below


Here it is right before I started with the kit. There were a million tiny scratches on it, you can't really tell from this pic but all of the "foggyness" was actually scratches. Windexed the headlights and started sanding


Good as new! I hope it holds up, it came with a protective coating to rub on so hopefully that keeps it looking nice for a while. Even if I had to do this monthly, though, it would be worth it rather than having crappy looking headlights IMO.
If you need to clean yours up, then I would definitly give Meguiar's a shot.

 

Almost invisible!

 

Nice. Well done!

 

Damn, that looks good, excellent!

 

You will have to do that regularly, unfortunately.
