Thread: Oxidized Headlights

I started with 600 then 800 and then alot of work with 1500. Mine were really bad and someone tried to use that instant fix sealer. TAKES FOREVER TO SAND OFF. After I finished sanding just rubbing compound and elbow grease for a shine.

I used the kit on my mom's old ford windstar, it was a night and day difference. they looked brand new.

Ha, never noticed that banner......but for wetsand i started with 1000 and then hit it with 1500 then buffed em out. Almost brand new looking

I just tried The CCP 5 minute headlamp restorer without any results. When you wetsand them what grit do you use... in guessing 1500-2000 but idk for sure.

I know there's an easy DIY way but automotive stores along with Wal-Mart sell products for clearing up oxidized headlights. My mom used one of them for doing her headlights and it worked great.

i found some stuff at Canadian Tire and used it on my moms Acura MDX, worked awesome.

i have an old bottle of scratch out i used on my civic and dad's volvo..combined with a rag and elbow grease its amazing how much they'll clean up
