What is the method for cleaning car headlights?
1 Answers
The method for cleaning car headlights is as follows: 1. Clean surface dust: Wipe the headlights with a cloth as thoroughly as possible. 2. Cover the edge areas of the headlights: Use tape to cover the edge areas of the headlights. Some cars may only have partial fogging or hazing, so you can also cover areas that do not need repair to avoid unnecessary scratches. 3. Initial sanding: Wipe the headlights with a cloth as thoroughly as possible. Soak a piece of 1000-grit sandpaper in cold water for 10 minutes, then evenly sand the headlight housing, moving back and forth in one direction while keeping the surface wet. Apply moderate pressure to avoid damaging the surrounding paint or trim. 4. Secondary sanding: Repeat the above process with 1500-grit sandpaper, but sand in a different direction (if the first sanding was vertical, this time sand horizontally). Continue to keep the sandpaper wet while sanding the entire area. After wiping clean, repeat the process multiple times with 2000-grit, 2500-grit, and 3000-grit sandpaper, each time sanding at a right angle to the previous direction. 5. Apply polish: Apply polish to the plastic housing and polish in a circular motion for about 10 minutes. Be mindful of the pressure to avoid removing the car paint. Continue until the surface regains its mirror-like shine and looks as good as new.
