Project step-by-step
Step 1: Wash and Sand Horizontally
- Clean the hazy headlight with warm soapy water.
- Rinse thoroughly with clear water and let dry.
- Then, mask the area surrounding the lens to avoid scratching the paint.
- Soak the sheets of sandpaper in water, then begin with the grit that best suits your needs.
- Sand moves in one direction.
Step 2: Rinse and Sand Vertically
- Rinse and change direction with the next grit. Keep doing this until you’re finished with the 2,500-grit paper.
Step 3: Buff the lens with Polish.
- Wash the headlamp well with clear, cool water, then dry it.
- Wet one corner of the flannel cloth with polishing compound.
- Use forceful pressure to polish the headlamp in a circular pattern until it is smooth and clean.
Step 4: Polish the headlight lens.
- Allow the polish to dry completely before buffing away any remaining polish with the clean end of the cloth.
- Repeat the polishing process.
- Depending on the extent of the headlamp’s damage, small portions may remain cloudy. Try repolishing only those areas with a polishing product.
- Buff the area again and inspect. The lens should appear completely clear! If you’re looking to buy a headlamp, the Fenix HM65r is ideal.
