I will be doing my first headlight resto today. I have my sandpaper and my Diamondite kit ready. I will be taking pics as I go thru the process hopefully I can get them up tonight. Hopefully the turnout fairly well they are pretty oxidized at the moment. The vehicle getting the treatment will be my 00 Grand Prix.
 
They look way better than they did before. There is some moisture on the inside of the lenses but I am satisfied with the overall results.

The process: Wet sanded the lenses with 600 grit followed up with 1000 grit then finished up with the Diamondite kit.

Before:

After:

Jesus Christ! Your headlights looked like they were painted the same color as your car in the before picture.

On a more serious note, how did you like the Diamondite kit?

I pray for a day where one can go on a forum and not have to read people post stuff like that.

  1. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

Angel, check out the thread by HotRod and read about sealing those lamps now that you have cleaned them up. He has achieved about a two year successful test on some lamps without them turning yellow or hazing up again.

Thanks for the heads up on the other thread I will definitely have to look into sealing my headlights using that method.
