C2 Turbo

After understanding where and what the problem is , watched several videos to see what made sense to me and finally got down to it

Just did one side and the lights came up pretty good, I am pleased with the results.

The brightness/sparkle is definitely back

So what you'll think?

Such an easy, quick upgrade. Looks good

Looks great. What restoration kit did you use?

Tall Giraffe

Definitely an improvement. I have used the 3M with great results but it does revert back to yellow-ish usually within a year. The missing step is the sealing to make this last longer otherwise youll be constantly sanding the lens down.

Here is a great one by Youtube channel Paint Society incorporating clear coat

C2 Turbo

1)- Clean the headlights
2)- Masked the surrounding area
3)- Using a sanding block and a 600/800 , dry side to side by hand
4)- Turn the headlights on to see if there are any spots that needed further sanding
5)- Sanding again 1500 grit ... wet this time and vertical movements
6)- Lights on to see the progress
8)- Sanding again. 2500/3000 grit... wet and vertical
9)- Light on and if happy with the progress move to next step

10- Alcohol wipes and clean the headlights before moving on to polishing
11)- Using Random orbital buffer, applied Maguire's Ultimatum compound
12)- wiped using alcohol wipe
13)- Finally Maguire's Ultimatum Polish

I have read using a clear coat will cause bit refracting errors and to make it last longer, to use a clear Film like 3M and that's what i plan on ordering
