Derajaman Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 So my sister in-law just got this car at the beginning of the summer, and of course the first thing I notice is the head lights.... For only being a 2006 I couldn't believe how bad they were. I had a 2002 Mustang until just a few years ago and they weren't even close to this. So finally got a chance for her to come by the house and got to work. My process: PC 7424XP 4" Focus Pads SSR - 2 Passes SHR - 1 Pass FMP - 1 Pass I taped off around the head lights to make sure I didn't get the paint around it and to not catch any edges on the housings. All I can say is WOW! Adam's has my business for a lifetime! Especially since I work in Boulder so I can just run down to the warehouse and pick up what I need. Enjoy the images!
Golf for Life Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 WOW those are some fogged headlights. Nice correction Jarad. Bet it made a big difference at night.
Derajaman Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 Yah we'll find out if they are better at night tonight since this was just done today. She was telling me that she a lot of times had to use her brights at night to see so all in all this was really unsafe for her to be driving with them so fogged. Makes me feel a lot better that's for sure!
THE Mook Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Good ole Mother Nature's Tint Good Work!
StormChaser Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Wow!!!! That is absolutely awesome!!!!!
DwDrummer Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Awesome save man! Night and day difference!
Derajaman Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 Thanks for all the comments everyone! I was quite amazed that this required absolutely no sanding to get the oxidation off so it goes to show how effective (Junkman's favorite description) the PC is with the right pad and polish combo. Next up, the other sister in law just got a new car as well and the roof looks about as bad as these headlights did! Hopefully I'll get a chance to have her come by the house so I can save it as well, I'll take pics as well.
MichiganSRT8 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 nice!, you worked with the PC right? from you description i thought you said you did but just wanted to make sure. Im planning on tackling my girlfriends mazda 3 headlights this weekend, especially after seeing your results!
Derajaman Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 Yep, all I used was the PC and the 4" focus pads.
Doug123 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I have had Great success with just the PC and the 4" pads.
the1inblue Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I use a drill so much easier and easier to control in tight spots Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
Derajaman Posted September 16, 2011 Author Posted September 16, 2011 It really seems to be personal preference on which you use. The drill will have a more narrow neck near the lens which will allow you to work in tighter spaces, but just like with paint you have a higher risk of doing something you didn't want to do with the drill versus the PC.

True however It will take alot of sitting in one spot to burn through a headlight.Both are a great ways to accomplish the task. Like you said just a matter of personal preference and comfort level.
