Here's a link to the Meguires kit I was talking about: Meguiars Headlight & Spot Repair Kit

Sorry missed your question about wet sanding materials. I use a combination of meguires unigrit 3" discs and 3M discs. Meguires sells a kit that comes with a variety of grits 3 different pads, the interface cushion (goes between sanding disc and backplate) and 105/205. You 'can' do it all by...

yup only 1 pad on the 2nd headlight. wet sanding really comes into play when the UV protection has failed and you need to either blend or fully remove whatever is left of the original coating. Also helps level out heavy pitting and deep scratches. The first headlight here was a good example of...

Another quick rundown on the next headlight test subject, wanted to pass along the results of McKee's 37 All In One Headlight Restoring Polish with some refinement to get a two thumbs up final result from me Starting off with this test subject This was right after decon with nanoskin mitt...

Re: McKee's 37 vs HD Speed - A quick review and comparison Thanks for the quick write up, good to see the comparison. Will be interesting to see how it holds it.

g35_coupe pretty much summed it up. Takes a few tries when you are first attempting the method to get it to come out good. But once you find what works for you it's pretty quick to apply. Here's a thread by sweatthedetails with videos showing the process...

Yes it is, I can't speak to the formula change, Nick would need to chime in as to what has changed :) Yup on a headlight this bad I would also jump right to wet sanding totally agree. I did the pre-wet sand polish just to see what it would do. Totally agree, I do not recommend not wet sanding...

I wanted to create a demo headlight I could show people and thought great time to bring a new product along for the ride and put it to the test. I found an ebay special set of headlights for my test subjects. All the pictures below will link to the full size versions in my gallery. Our test...
