We would like to share with you a short yet mind blowing article. Here we have a very damaged headlight.

The edge of the headlight is badly scuffed.

There were some severe scuffs on the lens as well.

As we looked closer into surface conditions, it is obvious that the original coating built-in to the lens has oxidized.

We started with 800grid, to 1500grid and finally to 2000grid.

Finally, corrected the sanding marks with the Rupes correction system with a combination of Menzerna polishes.
