WJ Lense Polishing

I had a 2001 WJ with the most awful scared head lamps.....I didn't know
about lenses polishing till this news group mention that that was an
option......I had a professional detailer working on the side come and
polish my lenses.....they are like new now, clean and clear....what a joy
from the terrible frosted look they had that made my Jeep look awful as well
as dim head lights.....I am not promoting this fellows work but for a good
job, it takes a process of wet sanding and polishing to accomplish this
job.....no easy fix from the auto store goodies.....as he worked, the
fellow said that the stealerships get all the best chemicals to clean and
trim out a vehicle.... it is well worth the 60 dollars I spent to clear up
a terrible blemish that there was no way for me to tackle my self.....

unfortunately with most polishing jobs like that, it will re-haze over
much quicker the next time...

The materials can be found at a Home Depot or hobby store. The trick is
in applying them in the correct grit grade and sequence so it neither
takes forever or burns the plastic surface. A Dremel is just a bit
small for something as large as a headlight set unless you have infinite
patience. A good cordless drill, set of grits down to either rouge or
tin oxide, and multiple polishing felts and cottons takes less than an
hour for a both lights. And if it doesn't work out, the lights are
available mail order for less than typical dealer price.

Look around for a UV protectant coating. The Air Force uses it on
some of their canopies after polishing to keep them clear but I have
no idea where to even start looking (google??).
