Gang:
I know there are threads on delining headlights, but does anybody have a step by step pictorial and process for delining our headlights? I am interested in just delining the section in front of the projectors of our headlights...
Thanks,
Ryan

I'm sure it's in regards to this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...light=Delining
Obviously you pop them in the oven 175-200 def F for 5-10 minutes, and then work from there
Here's a good start from the supra guys:
From MDSUPERSTAR on SF:
"Sand everything out with 400 grit, then 100, then 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, then anything you can find that is higher than that. Then Novus 3 stage plastic polish."
I've used 3M plastic cleaner & polish and it seems to work quite well.
Here's a MKIV.com how-to on cleaning, just sand a little harder to deline![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Here's a good start from the supra guys:
From MDSUPERSTAR on SF:
"Sand everything out with 60 grit, then 100, then 220, 300, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, then anything you can find that is higher than that. Then Novus 3 stage plastic polish."

It will take longer, but it's safer. 60-grit is so aggressive that one bad move and you have a scratch you are dealing with for life.

Thanks Jose & Xir -- as I mentioned above, I quoted that from a post on SF (since a link wouldn't help with their registration somewhat closed)
I'll edit my post to remove the 60 grit![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I personally used 800 & 2000 to wet sand the outside of my headlights. Took a while, but it got the job done.
