REMOVING PEELING FROM YOUR FTO headLIGHTS Step by step guide By Daryl (Btw, I take no responsibility for any damage to your headlights) When it comes to the wet-n-dry and cutting paste, be careful with regards to your paintwork around your headlamps This is how bad my Right headlight was. Tools used
Try to use the flat of your fingers rather than the finger tips when applying pressure. You can feel though the paper when you are rubbing on effected areas, but do the complete headlight. I used 1500 grit wet-n-dry from Halfords, keep it wet and don't worry when it starts to do this.
This is how it will look when the wet-n-dry process is complete
You will notice the discolorations around the edges, I left it at that as the next step sorts that out.
But try to get it as flat as possible.
Next apply the cutting paste which is also available from Halfords Just follow the instructions on the tube, this process only takes a matter of minutes. It cuts very fast.
You will notice as your using the paste layers appearing like this on the bottom right.
Just keep rubbing until no more dull areas appear, Photo below is same area as above but with a few extra seconds of rubbing
Give it a good clean with a dry cotton sheet and you should end up with something like this.
I then gave it a quick T-cut for a couple of minutes and below are the completed results.
I also found after doing this the light is a lot more white at night thus improving visibility (Before it had a yellow appearance)
Anyway
Hope this help someone and alleviates any fears of using wet-n-dry on your headlights
Regards Daryl
