VW Headlight Restoration

[Maserati Mario]

This car is 5 years old and already showing deterioration of the Headlights.
Not to bad but it's a friends car and I wanted to make it new again for her.
Detailed it a few weeks ago and finished the job by doing her lights.

Wet-sanded with Unigrit 1000, 2000 & 3000
M105 on a synthetic wool pad
PlastX on a foam pad













Just used a few drops of M105


Used a little more than a few drops of PlastX-X


AAAA the fruit of my labor

Re: VW Headlight Restoration

looks like I need to get a wool pad, my MK4 needs its headlights to look like that!! How long did that whole process take?

Awesome job, I have a Saab to do Thurs that needs headlights redone as well.

Re: VW Headlight Restoration

How long did that whole process take?

About 30 mins on one, learning how it was going to react.
About 15-20 mins on the second one, sanded about 10 mins and polished for 5-7.
About a hour total

Re: VW Headlight Restoration

Great work again Mario!Couldn't believe the condition after only five years.Although not bad,you'd expect to still be looking new.

I'm going to be doing this myself soon.I've got a nasty scratched front indicator(when some idiot cut me on a bend,and then drove off).So your post is useful.

Good 'ol PlastX!!!!

I'll need to get to grips with this little camera.You do good pics aswell.
