Headlight Restorations (Pics)

Here are some headlights I did for a local guy. They were very weathered and yellowed. I used the Wolfgang Headlight Restoration Kit.

I also polish headlights at $50/pair. Turnaround is same day or next day.

what do you use for polishing headlight... buffer/compound/paper etc.... you can pm me if you don't want to reveal your secrets.... I can also do this, but i think i use a more crude method.... but i can even fix a headlight that was keyed

I used our Wolfgang Headlight restoration kit after I hit it with a few abrasives.

You likely sand your using fine grit papers. This works the same, just more labor intensive. You can use a polishing pad on the end of a drill, the possible ways to do this are endless. They all work. Just make sure they are clear before applying any type of sealant.

My headlights are so pitted that they are basically useless at night. It's really hard to tell from this picture but trust me, they ain't nothing like they were when new. I have the same problem with my windshield too but that's being replaced in a couple weeks.

Could you repair these headlights? If so, I'd like to get them done.

I can likely repair them. You would have to take them out and mail them to me though. LMK.
