Headlights fogged after sanding

Recommended Posts

Hi, I have sanded both headlights, starting with 400 grit and working my way up to 3000 grit, using a rotary sander. The results are uneven with fogginess along the lower part of the headlight? What could be the reason for this and could you recommend a possible fix? Many thanks.

Boy that looks bad, I think you probably need new lights to fix that.

Not sure a rotary sander is the best idea just go by hand

Looks like you just need to keep going !! Possibly previous clear coat on one part and not the other giving different hardness ?

I suspect you have sanded through the outer layer which is probably a scratch / UV resistant layer, you can polish it up fine from there just make sure you coat it with something to protect it from UV once you are done.

Thanks for all the feedback. I will polish the headlights over the weekend and post the results.
