MAYBEN Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 you want to follow up with the FMP.. MSW is suggested at the end to add some protection so they look like that longer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often the surface is as good as you can get it and the remaining defects are inside the housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think youre right,still im going to try it again and see what happens. there is a good Write up on the GPONA site that shows you what you need to do to open them up,but i dont think i can put mine in the oven.knowing me i would probably melt the sh**t out of them:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1inblue Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Good turn out. Word of advice, I wouldn't worry about the top of the headlights as they don't really have any effect on the clarity of the light. Second as said before I turned the headlights on before you're finish. This will help find spots that need another pass. Also when the lights are on you may see small scratches or chip looking marks. Well those are just normal wear and tear. Polishing them isn't gonna fixed that. Overall a very good job.
