`
`0k, firstly remove your headlights, I won't go hto, because 1 have a custom
`front bar, so my lights have been rrndded slightly. But basically there is 3
`10rn'n bolts on top. and 2 10n'n1 behind burrper bar.
`
`itarrerrber to unplug headlights of course, and than rerrnya them.
`
`Once they are out. examine how bad they realy are. Mhe were all yellowed.
`
`I pieced my headlight In a bench vice, sin-ply to hold I, made life ouch easier
`to work on... OK. lets begin.
`
`alt your wet and dry into the canon sizes for your sanding block, once done,
`put them into the bucket of water and let sit for 20 his or so, this n'altes
`them less likely to scratch. Alter 20 wins, ren'oye your first piece of wet and
`dry the 400 grit.
`
`Use the 400 grit sandpaper and start sanding the surface of the lights
`hngthw'lse In only a side to side motion. DON'T til-“NEE DIRECTIONS
`(leuupidown or circles}. I sprayed the surface of the headlights water to lube
`them, and started to sand. you don't have to push hardl soon you will notice
`the clear coat starts to corre ofi'. You'll be abh to tel where it Is and Isn't
`curring off.
`
`Repeat above procedure with the 600 grit sandpaper after all of the ciearcoat
`15 mounted (use water).
`
`{Inspect to see. how the clear coat or yellows-lg Is coming off)
`
`Repeat using 1000 grit sandpaper With water.
`
`(inspect to see, how the clear coat or yellowi'ig is caring off)
`
`Repeat using 1500 grit sandpaper with water.
`
`(Inspect to see. how the clear coat or yelhwhg b con'lng off)
`
`Repeat using 2000 grit sandpaper with water.
`
`By now they should be srrnoth and flat, there wl be sorre rricro nemng, but
`this B where the polishes cone Into play to remove aI th‘s.
`
`Firstly, hold them up to the light to Inspect, you cannot do this too often to
`see where more sending or work Is needed to get them perfect.
`
`I first covered them In the Mother rretel polsh and buffed them from right to
`Ieit etc, to ran-eve n'ost marks, then wiped wih the nicrofibre cloth to remove
`the excess.
`
`Then, hit them with your favorite swiri ren'mring poBh, buff this until it hazes,
`and leave for 20 wins or so. (crack a beer at this pol1t ) Then corre back and

`buff off all the polish. Once cleared, inspect again (give yourself a pat on the
`back, they will be looking awesorre at this point)
`
`
`
`But more pollsh Is Involved, to get them super shiny and add a protectlve layer,
`grab the Plastx and follow the dlrectlons and applled as Instructed.
`
