[MBZ] Headlight polishing $9 kit
I bought 2 of these kits to polish up some plastic headlight covers. Worked pretty well on the ML headlight covers, I need to pull out the lower fog lights and polish them up now. The 3 fiber pads were an interesting addition and stripped off the old yellow stuff quickly and buffed them up some then the sandpaper pads got it polished up. $9, cheepcheep price. I had bought another kit a coupla years ago at HF I think, this one had more stuff for cheaper. Package says each kit can do 4 headlights which is about right. https://www.walmart.com/ip/HOTBEST-DIY-Car-Lights-Kit-Polishing-Restoration-Headlight-Repairing-Set-P240-Mop-Sanding-Discs-Drill-Adapter/496571450 Use a spray bottle with water and a bit of dish detergent to keep the paper from loading up with schmutz -- --FT ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

I have also heard of some who used the newer ceramic polishes for the paint on a car. Can't remember which one but a search on you tube will turn up quite a few ways to go about it.

Agree with the spar varnish approach. Yes, it works, but it has to be reapplied on a semi-annual basis depending on the climate.

Re: [MBZ] Headlight polishing
I ordered a cheap polishing kit from somewhere, forget where now, maybe banggood or DX, it’s supposed to be coming from the PRC next week.

Re: [MBZ] Headlight polishing
When you have them all polished and clean, apply some 20 mil (or whatever it is) protectors. They squeege on with water and can be peeled off. With them installed, they are thick enough to prevent UV damage to the lens, so when they turn yellow and hazy again, you peel off the no yellow and hazy protector and install a new one on the still clear and clean lens. If fixed the issue on the Golf -- I installed glass headlight covers.

Re: [MBZ] Headlight polishing
I have recovered a number of sets of headlights that were far gone from Arizona sun. Here is what I've done. 1. Gather a 4 inch soft foam buffing pad, mounted to a variable speed drill. 2. Cut several 1,000 grit wet or dry 3M sanding disks from an 8x10 sheet 3. While cutting disks, also cut 1,200 grit, 1,500 grit, and 2,000 grit disks. [the finer the grit, the more you will need] 4. Spray bottle with clean water. 5 Tape off all surrounding areas of the headlights. Next step is to sand the plastic, and if your disc runs over on to the chrome, or paint, or whatever, you now have a new problem. Do not goe there. 6. Clean the headlight lense, free of dirt and any contaminant. 7. Set the variable speed drill on its lowest speed, run it for a bit to "get the feel of it". 8. Spray the lense to be polished with water from the spray bottle, you will want to keep it wet while sanding it. As sanding material appears, spray liberally to flush the grindings off the surface... also, spray the sanding disk,, for same reason.. 9.. Keep the sanding disc in constant motion, with overlapping pattern. ONLY USE LIGHT PRESSURE. Let the disc "float" on the surface, do not press 10.After a bit of buffing/sanding, you will see the haze be removed, and when you spray with water to flush away the sanding residue, the water will make the lense look "clear"... 11. At that point, wipe the lense with clean soft paper towel, and dry it for inspection. You should see a uniform pattern of sanding scratches [1,000 grit scratches only]. You may find areas of haze remain and need further sanding / buffing to scrub off the hazed plastic layer... if you do... wet, sand, flush, repeat, until you only have a nice smooth plastic finish.. Use plenty of water, slow speed on drill/polish disc, and flush often.. 12. Once the haze is scrubbed off, and only sanding scratches remain. Clean the lense again, and change up to the next finer grit... wet, sand, repeat you will now be sanding the 1,000 grit scratches out .. again... stay in constant motion, keep it wet. 13. Shift to next finer ttgrit.. wrinse, sand, repeat at 2,000 grit the plastic will start to look pretty clear, but you are not done just yet. 14. Use only a soft foam 4 inch buffing pad, with plastic polish buffing material... [3M , Turtle Wax, several others sell it at FLAPS... one is as good as another, in my experience. I like Miguares.] Put a few drops of buff/polish on the pad,, spread it around with your finger, spray the plastic lense with a light spray of water, and using very light pressure, buff the plastic, again,, constant motion across the lense in a pattern that covers the whole surface... Spray the lense with water to flush the buffing residue and wipe the plastic with a soft cloth [paper towel is just harsh enough to make scratches at this point]... Inspect your work... you may to buff some more.. or you may be all done... look for any sanding scratches that need buffed further... If you find none... wipe the lense with a good wax... polish the wax just like you would if it was the paint [by hand, soft cloth] Bobs Yer Unkle... Probably takes longer to read all this than to actually do a set. Look at the lense every time you do an oil change and decide if they need a "refre sh". If you catch them early, a brief buff with 2,000 grit followed by more wax and buff, keeps them clear. Hope this Helps, Good luck.
