How to polish your car headlights

  • Detects wear: Sometimes the deterioration is noticeable at first glance, other times not so much. Make sure that the headlights have not begun to take on a yellowish or whitish color, run your finger through the headlight and if you detect scratches or irregularities in it, it is time to polish it.
  • Buy the necessary kit to polish them: It consists of a series of sandpaper, wool discs that can be attached to any drill, liquid silicone polishing, a rag and bodybuilder tape to cover the entire surface surrounding the headlight.
  • Proceed to polish them: For this you just have to clean the headlight well with soap and water at first, protect the surface around it with the bodybuilder tape, sand the headlight to remove all its impurities, wash it again but this time only with water and dry well afterwards, go to the final polishing of the headlight. Afterwards, you can do a last cleaning with a wool disc to clean it completely, remove the tape and give it a last pass with the cloth. You will have it perfect.

Yes, the one of a lifetime. The trick works, though only partially because the polish finish is second to none so you decide.
