2005 Accord headlight restore

Its been awhile since I posted but have been busy with moving back to Tampa from WV. Its good to be back In FL and get a garage again!

My brother in-law has a 2005 Accord with 130k miles. The headlights are the original and have been oxidized pretty badly.

Process, wet sanded with 2000 grit then 2500. Had a small wool pad on hand so I decided to try that with M105 and then tangerine/cyan pads with m205. Topped off with 2 coats of BFCS. Car got washed and it got a third coat of BFCS the next day. The headlights took about one hour total with both of us wet sanding.

I forgot to take pics before starting the process. But snapped a few of the final steps.

Not bad for my first time cleaning up some headlights.

Feel free to ask questions and enjoy.

BFCS last about 3 month with proper prep. I applied it on my parents car once that wasn't prepped properly and I only got a month. The product is so easy to use I dont mind applying it often.
