Quote from: polished_phil on December 14, 2011, 06:05:27 pmthanks mate, the light aren't 100% yet as is the paintwork. To do the lights you need to flat them back with wet and dry first, then polish, this was just done quickly with a spot pad and some cutting compound to rid of all the major scratches and swirls.Once the winter's out the way it'll get a full on treatment. Hi mate mine are similar you couldnt do me a favour could you and explain how you did the lights in a little more detail, and also what polish do you use on the paintwork

Hi mate mine are similar you couldnt do me a favour could you and explain how you did the lights in a little more detail, and also what polish do you use on the paintworkyeh sure i used 3m green top cutting compound with a green cutting spot pad, then worked down compounds and pads until refined. As i say, they could do with a light wet sand first then the same process again, you have to be careful not to burn or warp the plastic though as i guess like most materials it could happen.

do you think i could get similar affect by firtsly cleaning the lights like normal to get rid of all the dirt/dust then wet sanding, then applying autosmart evo compound then super resin polish?

Also can you spot the other mods?
wow thanks for the good response guys.
