Need Help - Headlight Restoration

[elgringogillao]

So I am trying to restore the headlights on my 2002 TT225. I am using the MacGuiars HD Restoration Kit.

Heres what I have so far...


Notice how it looks like the protective film has faded diagonally.


Should I try wet sanding with 800 grit wet/dry to remove this? I made several passes with the 1000 grit pad and its still there.

Can anyone offer me some suggestions on how to go about restoring these headlights?

Thanks.

It looks like you haven't sanded enough. That haze should not be there. Any pics of the lights before?

Pick up a 3M kit from Walmart/Autozone (I think Walmart is cheaper). I used on an old set of headlights and it cleared them up like new.

it's a kit you attach to a drill and has various sand paper sizes and instructions.
