Headlight Restoration with Sand Paper – Restore Cloudy Headlights

Woodworkers use sandpaper to smooth wooden surfaces, and sandpaper is also useful for removing loose paint, grit, or dirt when you’re painting or refinishing something.

Sand Paper Grit Usage: 600 Grit: Should be used for heavily oxidized headlight lenses, as this is the most aggressive; 800 Grit: Should be used after 600 grit sanding paper, or as the first choice if headlight lenses have medium oxidation; 1,000 Grit: Should be used after 800 grit sanding paper, or as the first choice

If the headlights are extremely cloudy start with the 600, then move to 800, 1,000, 1,500 and finally the 2,000 grit

2) Wipe the headlight using a clean cloth.

3) Mask the edges of the fender panel so as to not scratch it when sanding.

4) Once done with masking, spray water on your sandpaper and plenty on your headlight too .

5) Wet sand it evenly with the 800 grit paper first. Do not sand in a circular motion and make sure to constantly spray your sandpaper and headlight with water. Wipe down all the residue from the headlight by pouring a mug of water on it. Yes, you will require a lot of elbow grease for the sanding.

6) Make sure you sand it till you get an even finish on your headlights and all the yellowness and oxidization has gone. I had to sand my headlight with 800 grit for about 4 passes because the overspray clear coat was still present in some areas of the headlight. It will look even more hazy but trust me the outcome at the end will be worth it.

7) Proceed to 1500 grit wet sanding once an even finish is obtained and you’re happy with the 800 grit sanding. The 1500 grit sandpaper is smoother so it will even out all those scratches put by the 800 grit sandpaper.

8) Wet sand it for about two passes and you should be getting an even and smooth finish.

9) Pour water on the headlight again with water and clean with a microfiber cloth.

car headlight rubbing compound

Using rubbing compound on headlights can improve their appearance and keep them clean. The compound will remove the oxidized layer that makes them appear dim. The compound should be applied using a sanding pad and water.

10) Now we can move on to the Rubbing compound. Take a generous amount of it and smudge it on the headlight evenly. Yes I think I was a bit too generous. Sprinkle few drops of water on it. Set the speed of the machine to low speed. Make sure the wool pad of the orbital polisher is clean.

11) Now you want to make sure that you take your time with the Polisher and not rush. Do wear an apron or something similar to it so as to not get rubbing compound splashed on your clothing. Tilt the polisher and use only the side of the Polisher. Start from one part of the headlight and work your way through. You should see the headlight clearing up in a while. Make sure to sprinkle few drops of water on your headlights so that the heat won’t melt the headlight.
