Step 3: Applying and Buffing the Polish
Step 4: Final Polish and Inspection
After applying the polish, “Allow the polish to dry completely before buffing away any remaining polish with the clean end of the cloth.” Use a clean, dry part of your flannel cloth to buff the lens in circular motions until all the polish residue is gone and the lens looks clear and shiny.
For headlights with more significant damage, you might need to “Repeat the polishing process.” It’s also possible that “Depending on the extent of the headlamp’s damage, small portions may remain cloudy.” If this happens, “Try repolishing only those areas with a polishing product.” Focus your efforts on those specific spots. After repolishing, “Buff the area again and inspect.” The goal is for “The lens should appear completely clear!”
By following these steps, you can often save a significant amount of money and restore the clarity of your car’s headlights, improving both the appearance of your vehicle and your visibility on the road.
