How to Repair Scratches on Car Lights?

[DeLena]

Because different car headlights are made of different materials, the repair methods vary. Here’s how to repair scratches on headlights based on different materials: 1. Glass material: If the headlight is not broken, there are usually not many scratches left. In this case, simply wiping a few times or using a specific type of sandpaper can smooth out the scratches. However, if the headlight is cracked, it is best to replace it with a new one. 2. Special plastic material: For headlights made of special plastic, you can use dedicated sandpaper or a towel to wipe them. If scratches remain on the surface, it is recommended to replace the headlight directly. 3. High-quality ABS engineering plastic material: Headlights made of this material generally perform better in terms of wear resistance, high-temperature resistance, light penetration, and hardness compared to other headlights. If they are accidentally scratched, you can try using dedicated sandpaper or a grinder to lightly polish the surface, which may quickly restore its original appearance. However, the specific repair method depends on the extent of the damage.
