In relation to my previous thread here regarding a naff headlight lense, I used the sanding/ Plastx method to try and improve it.
I used 1000 and then 2500 grit wet/dry sand paper then the Plast-x. The Plast-x definately made the difference. I applied it with a Meguiar's polsihing pad I already had and then rubbed off the excess with a microfiber cloth.
It says to repeat the whole process until satisfied but I only did it the once. It's not "quite" as crystal clear as the other lense but it's as near as dammit is to swearing. I'll give it another go later. The vids online show an electric polisher being used but I did it by hand.
Took about 15-20 mins to get it to how it is now and when comparing before/after shots, it quite an improvement. Especially at night with the lights on.
Cost £10 for the bottle of gloop and a few bits of sandpaper. Only needed 4-5 blobs of plast-x, now have virtually a whole bottle going spare!
Before and after shots
If anyone else has naff lenses, I recommend giving this a go.
Thanks MrLOL for the suggestion!
