Today I did a complete headlight restoration on my four year old projector headlights. They had developed a cloudy film that no longer could be cleaned up with hand applied products so I used my Griot's Garage 3" Orbital Polisher with Meguiars Headlight restoration kit to restore my headlights to perfectly clear condition again.
It was a multi-step process which included wet sanding the lights with a 1000 grit sanding disk followed by wet sanding with a 3000 grit sanding disk. After that process I used Meguiars Plastic X on an orange polishing pad with my orbital polisher to cut through the cloudy film and polish the headlights. The final process was to use my orbital polisher again with a red waxing pad to add the plastic sealant to my headlights.
The results are spectacular! I have completely documented this process on the Detailing Section of this forum but I'll include a few pictures to show the before and after results. While this took less than an hour, the heat and my limited back strength since my back surgery in July completely took it's toll on me.
