has anyone ever sanded, and buffed out their headlights and foglights to make them look brand new again? is there a thin protective coating on the headlights and foglights to keep them from oxidizing? i might want to do this but i just want to know if anyone has tried it yet.

 

Good luck sanding glass.

 

I have used rubbing compound on plastic headlight lenses before with good results...

I have never seen glass headlight lenes oxidize...

 

Where I work we sell this product called "Headlamp Restore Kit" which is supposed to restore headlamps from old foggy to the new look. I've never tried such product but its about 5-10 bucks, you can give it a try.

 

I spent 2 weeks with a random orbital sander and grits from 200 to 2000 wet and they never really got to "Like new" , and I mean 2 weeks of sanding, not it took 2 weeks to do. Spend the 40 some odd bucks and buy new replacements. Really trust me.

 

NOOOO, don't do it. Not on glass headlight/fog light.
That is how i ruin one of my headlight , i end up having to buy anothe one from ebay.

 

Exactly

I coulda sworn Ive seen a sticky on it somewhere.

 

really bad idea sanding glass. Unless that is the look you are going for

 

here this one is by Meguiar's although its for plastic it might work for glass.

http://janvil.com/default.htm this one is for glass restoration scuff/scratches and others and its 21 bucks

 

Somehow I don't think glass is supposed to be sanded down in order to look new!?

 

i sanded mine and they came out like this!!

 

might as well try and sand some chrome.

 

We sell a headlight restore kit at AutoZone. Haven't used it but its only a few bucks.

 

If you want to do a good job at *#%@ them up get a sand blaster dude. You can't sand glass!
