Step 1: Headlights
We will start using water and 600grit sandpaper.
This is the first , the longest and the most important step.
The final result depend more than 80% on this first step.
Use the sandpaper until the surface of the headlight is matte.
The longer you use the sandpaper the better result you get.
Clean the headlight with water before you begin inspecting the progress.
Some marks will remain if the headlight is very affected.
I made this instructable for the people that do not afford to go to service or there is no service in their region.
This is not a professional repair, but the result is good.
We will continue with 1000grit sandpaper.
I recomend using new sandpaper piece everytime.
You do not need to remove the headlight from the car to repait it.
Try to use the sandpaper as long as you can.
You get better result at the end if you use the sadpaper as much as you can.
Continue with 2000grit sandpaper.
For the next step use 3000grit sandpaper.
For a good final result use 6000grit disk or sandpaper.
Use polish compound for the final step.
You can use any medium to fine grit polishing compound
Apply the polish with a microfiber cloth or a sponge
For a better result you can use a cloth polish pad
The result is ok without the cloth polish pad if you did the other steps good
I aded some carnauba wax for protection and extra shine

Avoid touching the rubber parts of the car with the polishing compound
The best method is by using a polishing machine
