They were there when i bought the car, they just werent as obvious. They are right next to where the hood meets witht the heaslights. You can tell they are from a buffer. How would you guys go about removeing them or making them less visable??
Thanks for the help

 

Wet sand and buff them.

 

buy new ones....if thats not a solution for you the do what redsly said....

 

If I am going to sand them what grit needs to be used??

 

You could use a few different grits starting with a rougher then finishing with a finer grit. Make sure you are WET sanding, without the water you could do a lot of damage.

I recommend starting with 1000 Grit being the roughest and finishing with at least 2000 Grit if not finer. Then you should use some micro finishing compound to buff then finish it with a quality compound. Be sure not to burn the plastic while buffing though.

 

there's a DIY lurking around here for cleaning your headlights.

 

Thanks for the help. I think im gonna try the wet sanding. If I dont find a DYI on the forum i will take pics and and write somthing up

 

Before going the wetsand route, maybe try using Meg's Platix, or Poorboy's SSR.

 

EXACTLY. you haveta take the easy, inexpensive and lower risk first. i bet the Plastix would do the trick.

this dude just did it and gave some pointers too

 

+1 for wetsanding. 3 cars so far and very happy with the results on each one. Sometimes just plast-x alone does the trick!

 

+10 for wetsanding...

another DIY from the TL section

go to walmart... on the aisle w/touch up paint there is a $15 kit you can buy. small buffing pads coated with really fine grit compound. sray water on the headlight and attach the pad to a drill... its pretty simple, and it took every scratch / haze / crusted bug off my headlights. like brand new!

 

i have used the plastix before. it seems to yield good results temp, but they tend to come back.

 

Very true. I had SOME results using Plastix, but I used PB's SSR2.5 the other day, and it seemed to have done a much better job. I've still yet to see the car dry, to tell if it's actually done it's job, hopfully in a day or two we'll be all thawed out.

 

The plastix worked pretty good. Better than I thought. There are still some scratches. If they come back I will try what ljmushock suggested. Thanks for the help
