Question about light scratches on headlights after restore
I posted in the main thread about a week ago, but I haven't got a response yet. Can you guys/gals help me out?
I was able to make my headlights look a lot better then before, however I still a little haze/minor scratches. I went from 1500 grit,to 2000 grit, then Meguiar's plastic cleaner, then polish.
However, on the headlights, I can still see very light scratches from the sandpaper, which I think is causing the haze.
What should I do?
Do I need to use 2500 grit sandpaper, or sand it longer with 2000? Should I use a scratch removal product?
Thanks for the help!

Sounds like the plastiX wasn't strong enough to remove the scratch marks from the sand paper.
First use a cross hatch pattern when you sand. Sand the 1500 grit in one direction then sand in at a right angle with the 2000 grit. Horizontal with 1500, vertical with 2000. Then use a machine polisher and a more aggressive polish to remove the scratches.
