    Little hazy. Used a heavy cut and microfiber pads. Polishing with a foam pad tomorrow will clear it up and really make it pop. Decided not to kill myself and try and crank it all out in one day so I split it to two.

    I always like a job you step back from and say damn that looks good. Especially when it’s your own ride.

    Would you mind sharing your process for restoring those headlights (unless it's a competitive advantage for you, of course)? That looks awesome.

    I don't mind. Wash, clay, then wetsand by hand. Used 800, 1000, 1500, 2000 progressively. Wipe down. Cut with a rotary and Meguiar's wool cut pad and Meguiar's M110. Could have left it at that. But took my Griot's G9 and a white Lake Country polishing pad and polished them up some more with Meguiar's M210. Took about 40min total. Make sure you tape well. Don't want to mar the paint or bezels.

    Edit: working up to 3k sanding is the preferred method. But if you know how to work a rotary in small spaces without burning edges or the plastic lens, then 2k is fine. If it's smaller or odd angle lenses and I'm forced to use a DA, I will go to 3k first.

    Thanks for the details. What do you apply to the new surface to help them stay so nice looking?

    So for a short fix, I used Meguiar's M27. I'm waiting (shipping delayed due to COVID) for IGL Headlight to arrive. I'm a certified installer of their ceramic coatings. It is a one year ceramic. Once that arrives, I will strip the lights again with a light polish and apply that.

    The only REAL way to restore headlights is apply 2k clear coat overtop. Aerosol can is fine, but spray gun is best. Ceramic coating is the next best option, but because it's plastic lenses nowadays getting a longer lasting coating than a year is difficult. But with proper maintenance and care, I can probably stretch the initial coating to a year and a half to two years.

    No cerakote yet. Haven't pulled the trigger...just been super busy and forgot honestly. This has M27 on it so it should be good for a few weeks even in bad weather. I'm going to order it shortly and once it comes in, next maintenance wash I'll do cerakote and the headlight coating. I've heard iffy things about Cerakote's headlight "kit." They don't offer the product just by itself and folks have had bad installs. Probably user error. But I'm used to IGL's headlight coating so I'll stick with it for now. Long term I'm replacing the headlights regardless with a Xenon kit so they'll be trashed anyways.

    Good to know about that headlight kit. I ordered one but haven’t touched it yet. I love the trim kit but like all things some products are better then others.
