Well I tried to wetsand my foglights like I did with my headlights, but it actually came out even worse than it was before. The lense looks fogged up and isn't smooth.

I used 400, 600, 1000, 2000 wetsanding sandpaper then lense restorer. It worked like a charm for my headlights, but my fogs... not so much.

Do I need to go to a even lower grit to get rid of the deep indents from gravel? Have anyone had luck with wetsanding the fogs? Buying new foglight housings is just a rip-off imo.

arent the fog lenses glass? would that be your problem?

ArTL-S

that would be your problem. You polish GLASS wetsanding will mess them up(as far as i know). Time for new fogs. sorry man

it will be much easier and faster than trying to polish your glass.

Look on ebay for a set of lexan lenses. I think people are still selling them.

hah..

and wow.. you started with 400 grit??

post a pic, i wanna see what they look like, if you wet sanded them, all the way from 400-2000, what did you polish with after you wetsanded? cuz Im guessing the headlight restorer is for plastic.. 400 is pretty harsh, should stick with 800+ for shit like that, try wetsanding them again, from 800-1000-1500-2000-2500, then use a rubbing compound with a porter cable with a cutting pad, use some polishes, makes me think this could work, but who knows.. whats the worst that could happen now...

just be sure to use plenty of water lol, dont want tiny glass shards floating thru the air and into the lungs

lol @ starting w/400grit. If your trying to cut+buff something, you start with 1200, 1500 and then 3000 (Wet). Then buff away..

Something didn't feel right after I did the 400 on my fogs lol... I'll take a picture right now.

Well now you have a reason to upgrade your fog lenses!

ChrisQ1980

2000 was more than enough for my headlights. Yeah, you can't wetsand the glass. You can only polish it. Get replacements and put rockblocker on them.
