This came in to have its headlamps restored. As you can see, both sides are hazy and yellowish.
The condition was very severe. Looks almost impossible to be polished
Closer inspection revealed that the headlamp has plenty of micro crack and some of them are quite deep.
The other side is less severe. Less cracks but nevertheless yellow and hazy.
This is not a day's job. A combination if manual hand sanding and machine sanding took place from as low as 400 grit! There was a total of 7 steps of sanding for each side to be able to removed the degraded layer, as well as to achieve a fine finish.
This picture was after the final sanding step at 3000 grit.
A bit hazy but the degraded layer is removed and clarity is almost there.
Polish residue left over by previous irresponsible detailers gave me extra work.
Quite difficult to clean up, nonetheless done.
Just a comparison of some before and after pictures...
