530 M-Sports - Polishing of headlights 20 Jan 2011

The headlight are pretty badly chipped with stones and scratches. Today's Thaipusam holiday, so decided to give it a good sanding and polish. Started off with wet sanding with 800 grit sand paper, moving on to 1000 grit, 1500 grits and finally finsih off with 2000 grits wet sanding. Proceeded to polish with my old rotary orbiter polisher from the old car days, started with Menzerna Intensive Polish before moving to Menzerna Final Polish.
2 hours + for both headlamps. Results were not like some new headlamps quality  but at least i got a pretty clear headlamp and quite happy with it. This baby need tender loving care !
