golfprorich Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Hated the yellow tinge on my lights so decided to wet and dry them this morning. Started with an 800 grit, then gradually went down to finish with 2500. Then coarse, medium and fine compound to finish. Sealed with some Jetseal 109. It is a big improvement as you can see in the pic, though I reckon I needed to start at 400 grit to get them really good. Maybe next year ?

Simon_R Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Good effort, they look great . I did mine a month or so ago, on car with some paint cutting compound & they came up pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxob Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 The amber reflector can be removed and amber bulbs used. Search here or google "amberectomy". Involves soldering iron and long nose plyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonewolfgjp Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 They look great ? I wouldn’t recommend going with 400 grit, you will really struggle to remove the flatting marks out of plastic. You were brave at 800, I’ve done it myself and it is very easy not to get all the 800 marks out ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shazbot Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Nice work. I last did polycarbonate lenses on a friends car, used 1200 w&d and then medium then fine compound with the mop and they came up lovely and shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
