Lincoln headlight restoration

[stoddwilson]

Detailed a black Lincoln Aviator that needed some headlight work. Not the cloudiest but still in need of care. Here's before:

...and after

I start with wet sanding, then go to M105 with small wool on rotary Then move to small Megs yellow polishing pad with Plastx and finish with Megs polishing pad and Plastx.

By the way, the scratches and haze are the result of weekly brushed drive through wash and UV.

You must have had a happy customer.
I know that those headlights cost a fortune to replace.

I use 1500 also have some 2000 but the 1500 gets the cut I want.

Didn't use any glass/ plastic sealant. I did put Megs 21 on the lenses when I sealed the rest of the car. have not used opti-coat. Would you recommend it?
