Polishing Headlight lenses

Post by RSKiwi » Thu May 12, 2011 2:16 pm

Does anyone know if you can polish out fine scratches or marks on the plastic B7 headlight lenses? I am sure I have seen it done but I cannot remember where I found the link.

I have some very minor marks on my lights that I would love to get rid of.

If you have a machine polisher then using menzerna polishes on a polishing pad also works. If not that kit is good.
