Foggy Headlights 2012 W204
hey guys,
I just got my car. Last night I cleaned my headlights which were pitted with Turtle Wax headlight Restorer. However, the headlights actually became more foggy and cloudy and if u look carefully you can see scratch marks from the sand paper. The funny part is that to the touch, the headlights feel really smooth.
Any recommendations as to what I can do?
Thanks

Anyways, I use Maguires headlight restorer. It's just a liquid that you rub in with a towel and use an another clean towel. It works magic. I did it every 6-9 months. I would never use sand paper on my headlights.

Too Many To List
I know that this product does not say "headlight restoration" on it, but I have had excellent results. Meguairs ultimate compound. Use a terry cloth and rub it on and buff like a mad man. The results are impressive and what's better, you can use the rest on your car when you're done. Just my two cents.
