Default Re: Headlight restoration?

Buffing headlights and then applying a coating itself may not do the trick. I have found that you have to remove all of the old UV protective coating first and then buff. Otherwise, it's like painting a house without removing all the old, pealing paint. The new paint job won't last.

I use an 3" orbital palm sander with various grit sandpaper disks (3M). I built a variable speed control box for better sanding control. If the headlights aren't too pitted, I hand sand. I use Dvelup's UV coating - 2 year warranty.
