This was my first headlight restoration job that involved monetary compensation
Its an 8th gen Civic, not sure what year. I wish I would have got more "before" pics as the ones I have don't clearly show the condition the lights were in. The owner said they even tried replacing the bulbs due to a small amount of light actually getting onto the road. This job took around 2 hours. I started by wet sanding the lights with 1000 grit followed by 1500 grit, then compound and polished via my dual action with alcohol wipe downs in between. I ended up washing the whole car and topped the car with a Meguiars wax as you try product. The owner didn't ask for that, I just threw it in since the car was certainly over due! after the wash and dry I topped the headlights with Zaino AIO followed by Optum Opti-Seal. I am happy with the results and so was the owner! They said they would have hired me to do the headlights on there van but they had already ordered new lamps at $200 a pop, yikes those things are expensive! Ok here are the pics, again sorry for poor quality and lack of pics on the before photos.
