Polishing headlights with their own hands

The glass headlights rocks and sand left a lot of scratches and dirt gets in them. Its almost impossible to remove. Such glass began badly miss the light, it is wrong to dissipate. If for domestic cars to find the glass rather easily, for cars is difficult, since salons offer only lights entirely. It is very expensive to replace regular glass. But, fortunately, clear glass headlamps can be achieved by, polished them. There are 2 ways to polishing glasses with his hands. Method 1. You must have Abralon - abrasive, having a thin base and foam substrate (grain size 600-4, 000). Polish Polish-2000, and a soft polishing cloth. Scotch paint to protect adjacent surfaces. Circles "Abralon" have "sticky" to connect to the grinder - with her to work faster and easier. But you can use and hand sanding. The quality of this does not lose anything. Faro to wash and seal taped nearby areas bumper. If there are any easily removable parts, then it is better to detach. For the initial grinding, rougher, apply Abralon-600. Circles before the start of the wet, so their work is getting better. Grinding machine lasts three minutes. The surface of the lights should be brushed. Then headlamp rinsed with water, then take a circle with grit 1000. The same is repeated for other circles in ascending grit lap. After the final grinding of the headlamp becomes almost transparent. Glass re-rinse and wipe. Now the soft tissue causing Polish-2000 and polished by hand. The result of polishing headlights on their own will be obvious, since the illumination of their increases by an average of 40%. And most importantly, the cost of such repairs is not more expensive than a liter of gasoline! Method 2. For this method you need: antitsarapin and sanding sheets, grit 1000 and 2000. But, as experience has shown that this is all we can replace (or add on to the set), sponge covered with sand as soft bar and an officer's overcoat. Begin to grind glass headlights abrasive sheet with the largest grains, and then, gradually changing leaf to leaf with smaller grains. Antitsarapin finishes polishing glasses. In order to determine how well a polished headlight, you sprinkle it with water. If the water slides, as if being on the greasy surface, the glass is polished perfectly, otherwise you'll have to work again. Moments that can not be ignored: 1. Round headlamps in both cases, the glue Spray adhesive tape to protect the vehicle's bumper. If you do not, then the bumper will have to repaint in the future. 2 When sanding headlights sandpaper to use water, but it must be clean. If the impurities in the water is sand, then the headlamps are formed deep scratches. 3. Before you use antitsarapin, glass must be dry. Material cost per one milliliter to polish one headlamp. 4. The whole procedure, including preparation and time to relax the hands, takes 40 minutes per headlight. 5. Grainy grit sheets should be 1000 and 2000, do not experiment.
