Fudge...what kind are you guys using? I have the Mother's polishing ball (for wheels) and the only other thing I have is a 10" Ryobi orbital. I have an entire arsenal of air tools though, just not the right attachments.

I use my UDM random orbital (similar to the PC7424) or my hitachi rotary.

Cool, thanks for the replys. Guess it's time to bust out the buffer

very fine rubbing compound works well on headlights especially for small scratches or slight discoloration

haha, cinnamon usualy.
no but you think im kidding, rub some toothpaste on them, its basically like polishing compound, rub it in real good and then buff with everclear and then buff with regular stuff you use to buff with.

Somebody's been shopping at Autogeek I see. What's your name over there? Love that place, great info, products, and customer service is through the roof!

i have meguirs plastix cleaner, it works a bit with yellowing but not as well as wet sanding

[!@#$%]

I wet sanded my headlights with 2000 grit paper the other day.

It took the haze and yellowing right off. I buffed with plastix and it didn't fully remove the scratches made, so I went and bought something better.



This stuff is like beige gold.
