Looks great. I recently did a similar job on another car. I used the 3M headlight restoration kit. Great product, easy to use and great results. Everything was included but the drill.

Great job and thanks for sharing.

Great work. So many good products out there for do it yourself detailing these days. I used to own a detail shop years ago in Raleigh and have polished many a headlight lens myself. The clear porsche lens are great quality and polish well. Good for you mate.

Nice work jyoteen. I don't think it's necessary to remove the headlights. You can mask the surrounding areas of paint w/ masking tape to avoid contact with those panels. If you keep the headlights on the car, you have the car holding the headlights in place, instead of having them wiggle around on your workbench.

Nice.

I have the film over my headlights as part of the protection kit so I have not experienced any dulling of the lens over time.

I thought about that, but then I had to remove that light anyway to replace the city light bulb.

I like my girls naked, so a little bit of weathering is tolerable ;-)
