3M Headlight Restore
Hi,
I have partly delined my headlight for TSX Retrofit.
I been used 2000 Grit and plasticx to buff it out however it never became clear
like before...so I tried 3M Headlight Restore system and it came out crystal clear. I set my dewalt drill 14.4 at 0-1400 setting and i buffed it for couple minutes. I didnt even use the plastic polish that came with 3M kit...I used my plastic-x with foam pad. it was too easy honestly.
Power tool FTW

Honestly part deline is the best cuz you will get full potential of projectors while maintaining stock look.
I have seen fully delined headlights..looks good sometimes but not always..and yes it is pain to deline the whole headlights.
Once you get it smooth just buff with 3M polish pad..will look minty-

Yeah you need it apart cuz lines are inside and you will need to sand the lines and go finer sandpaper to smooth it out. Honestly dont care if its hazy or not just sand it smooth until 2000grit then just use 3m polish kit with drill or polisher. It will get rid of all the haze and make it clear-
