| Scratches on headlight
So I saw some DIY online for polishing headlights; 600 grit, 1000 grit, 2000 grit wetsand, then polish.
From here: VWVortex.com - DIY: Polishing PLASTIC...like headlights and tailights!
Problem is, I can't get the 2000 grit scratches off my headlights. I went at it with Meguiars ultimate compound and then PlastX but there are still fine scratches visible. It's not enough to impede light, but sort of annoying.
Does anyone have any suggestions to what I can try? Stronger compounds? Shop?
