I've been considering for sometime sanding and buffing my faded headlights. I tried using normal cleaning products but I found within a day they looked faded again. I watched some videos on sanding and buffing but considering the cost if I muck it up I didn't fancy it.
Today I finally plucked up the courage, or stupidity, to give it a go. I tried making my own buffing wheel and using some free shed products . Didn't really turn out that well so I ended up buying a buffing wheel, compound and head light sealer. I sanded with 800 , 1200, 1500, 2500 and 3000 grit wet and dry. Then buffed with a foam buffing wheel and compound. Finally finished with a turtle wax head light sealer. They turned out ok, I made this short video.
