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
