Its been awhile since I posted but have been busy with moving back to Tampa from WV. Its good to be back In FL and get a garage again!

My brother in-law has a 2005 Accord with 130k miles. The headlights are the original and have been oxidized pretty badly.

Process, wet sanded with 2000 grit then 2500. Had a small wool pad on hand so I decided to try that with M105 and then tangerine/cyan pads with m205. Topped off with 2 coats of BFCS. Car got washed and it got a third coat of BFCS the next day. The headlights took about one hour total with both of us wet sanding.

I forgot to take pics before starting the process. But snapped a few of the final steps.

Not bad for my first time cleaning up some headlights.

Feel free to ask questions and enjoy.
 
Awesome! Just my 2003 accord headlights a couple weeks ago with 145k miles. I used similar process with 1500/2000/3000, then m105 on orange LC pad. Still had a few dull spots so going to run through the process one more time and finish with m205 or megs UC and then hit it with the BFCS. I think its more gratifying doing this process than just buying a kit...especially since I already had all the products and just needed to buy some sandpaper.
