Hi
Was bored last night and wanted to give the headlights and polish and to make clear again thought I was using 1500 wet and dry only using it wet and then polish with car polish but......

Looked after I did it and was using 1200 wet and dry now one headlight has a coat of little scratches on it tried toothpaste nothing would G3 help ? Or high grade on wet and dry now ? Help
 
Ouch, try wet sanding using some 1500 first to remove the 1200 scratches, then 2000, use a sanding block or something flat and keep the paper clean then use G3 and then go finer. Thats your best chance to save them.
I wouldn't have used anything courser than 2000 or 2500 grit for the lights tho personally

with a DA and decent polish you can easily recover from that grit level... I have started with 800 grit before...

Use warm soapy water when sanding... Use 2000 grit now then a DA with either a compounding polish or just a finishing polish

I've had great results from using the 3m headlight restoration kit!! Highly recommend!!
 
All sorted 2000 wet and dry loads of water and G3 and a lot of elbow work a lot better lol
