Does any one have a good write up for wet sanding head lights on a mk4 GTI?

I searched vortex but was not able to find one.

This one that I had archived becuase I want to do this too.. I even have the sandpaper waiting in my garage.

I was searching beyond because I know I saw some good ones there before but I'll be damned if I can find them now.

I found another one.. a little more detailed http://www.ehow.com/video_2116436_he...storation.html

Would it not be easier to just buy some Novus Plastic Scratch Remover?

It take a TON of elbow greaseto do this, I did it four weeks ago. I did them over about two or three times. It does work and works well.

GL wit it.

I have tried scratch removers before, and even though it does make it look better i think wet sanding makes them look next to new. But i would like to try this Novus stuff first. Can it be bought in town?

Re: wet sanding head lights

Personally id take my headlights out and then do the whole process! It was a ***** to clean the headlights while they were still on the car due to the bumper being in the way!

Take your time as well, dont expect to be done in 30 min.

Re: wet sanding head lights

I would argee with compton. If you take the headlights out its much easier. Yes it takes more then 30mins for sure. I did mine. it took me a good 45min+ per headlight. Mine were pretty bad tho. lots of sanding was needed.
