Difficulty Level

Tools/Supplies Needed:

• 1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper
• 1500 grit wet/dry sandpaper
• 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper
• bucket of water with car wash soap (or dish soap)
• paste or liquid polishing compound/scratch remover
• paste or liquid automotive wax (I used carnauba wax, but any form of wax is fine)
• 2 lint free polishing clothes
• tape
• spray bottle with water

Procedure:

• first start by washing the fog light with soap and water to ensure there is no dirt which could cause problems during the sanding or polishing process
• if you would like, you can tape off the adjacent areas of the to ensure you won't damage them
• using your bucket of soapy water, ensure the surface of the light is wet along with the sand paper and start with the grit that you feel is necessary
• my lights were very faded, so I started out with 1000 grit
• once you are satisfied with the 1000 grit sanding process, you can now move up to the next finer stage of grit until you have reach the finest grit available
• make sure you rinse the area and it is always kept wet for fine sanding
• once done, you can now move onto polishing compound
• apply the polishing compound and rub into the light, when it dries you can add a mist of water to help moisturize the product
• once satisfied with the polishing, you can now move onto a scratch remover compound
• you can also apply a little water to the scratch remover compound to help moisturize the product
• once done with the scratch removing compound, you can now clean the area free of water and buffing compound
• apply your choice of wax (I used Carnauba wax) for a protection and final polishing layer
• buff until high quality shine and clarity, then remove the tape
