Well, last weekend, just had a detailing DIT with some great friends. Thanks to for their help and guidance, I manage to get a new pair of headlights without even needing to buy one.
Here are just some photos. Well, sorry that I got over excited about it and forgot to snap the before & after photos properly. Only after finished sanding the headlights I came to realised that, I forgot to snap some photos to share.
Anyway, just hope the owner of this photo do not mind me borrowing his photo. Just to show that my headlights was something like the BEFORE photo but much more yellow than that. (mind the after photo, not done by me.)

From here onwards, here is what we did. But not much photos but will explain the process.
So we started off with sandpaper 400 grit and dry sand the headlights until we don't see it yellowish anymore. That's where we suppose to stop.
After that, we go to 600 grit & 800. Sand until it is smooth enough. How do we know? Just pour some water and if it flows smoothly, then is fine. That's where u can start move on to next grit example from 600 - 800 grit.
Next step is 1000grit which is gonna be wet sanding. After that, we move up to the last one which is 1500grit. U will feel that the sandpaper is more fine this time. '
After Sanding
50 : 50 Comparisons
After finish applying 1 spoon of spar-urethane + mineral Spirits
Comparisons of Before and After
Well hope you guys don't mind that I missed out lots of photos on the steps.
Will be doing another car next round, so will make sure more step by step photos.
Thanks to my pals and thank you guys for your time in viewing my sharing.

That one also oxidized already. But need to clean inside for those watermarks inside due to vapour.
