DIY headlight restoration
Heres a Do It Yourself headlight restoration I did it on my s14 but ill show you on the PT loser cruiser
Buy the kit at your local auto part store. i got this one at pep boys. ask for headlight restoration kit or look in the light bulb section First choose the sand paper that will suit ur app if the light has no heavy scratch or damage then start with the 2000 grit. fill the container with water and let the sand paper your going to use soak (all sheets that you chose) start wet sanding the headlight. use on general direction during this process the headlight/ sand paper will dry wet it regularly. repeat this step with the 2500 grit wipe the headlight clean as you can see the headlight is still foggy. but dont worry grab the cloth that was givin in the kit along with the polishing compound (milky stuff). wet the end of the cloth with the polish. use heavy pressure in circular motion wet the cloth with the polish every 30sec-min. wipe clean every so often till you like what you see this was the end result with the PT and this is my s14 after doing this. note mine were really bad |

we did the same on my friend's zenki. but we didnt wet sand it at all, we went straight to the milky compound. then it was still yellow so we hit it w/ car polish. that stuff works wonders!
