The car is clean and dry. First, we apply a masking tape to the edges, so when we sand , we won't touch the painted panels.
The next step is to carefully wet-sand the headlight plastic surface with a very fine sandpaper. In this case we used a 3000-grit 3M waterproof sandpaper. Sand with water, as the water dries, spray more water. When it's wet, the sandpaper lasts longer without clogging up.

The headlight repair is complete and you should now have clean headlights that look as good as new and restored optical clarity for safe night driving.
