my headlights were completely yellow, so i tried removing the oxidation by wetsanding and using PlastX

all the yellow is gone now but the lights still look a little cloudy..do i need to wetsand again or use more rub-off?

thanks

 

did you use a headlight polishing kit? how high did you go with the grit level? also did you sand it by hand or did you use a machine?

 

i used 800 grit. sanded by hand.
no kit..just plastX and sandpaper

 

You need to polish more.

 

damn 800? i started off with 1000. definitely polish the heck out of it with a polishing attachment for a drill.

 

yea polishing the headlight with the drill is alot faster as well. go get some higher grit sandpaper and continue to polish your headlight

 

go pick up one of those mother polishing balls for drills or (napa sells the 3m headlight kits which come with one and the headlight polish)

I used my Dewalt buffer with a 9" polishing pad for mine

 

yeah see your "Before" pictures look like my "After" picture.
mine were completely yellow. so just polish more? or sand more with higher grit?

 

yeah 1000, 1500, and finish with 2000 grit. then polish with whatever power tool you have available along with a polishing attachment like this one

 

keep polishing!! 1000, 1500, 1800,,,grits
