Headlight

Material - polycarbonate instead of traditional glass

  • UV breaks down outer clear coat
  • Microscratches scatter light, making it look blurry

Fix

  • Wash w/ soap and water
  • Mask off outside of headlight with tape
  • Sand headlight w/ 800 grit, then 1500, then 2000
  • Use plastic polish or restoration kit, removing fine sanding marks
  • Seal w/ ceramic UV coat
    • Plastic-specific or headlight-specific UV sealant, as metal ones formulated differently?
    • I bet metal ceramic works fine...
