Thanks for letting us know.

I wanna do my headlights but one of mine has two scratches and I think it will require a wetsand.

I've used the "plastix" (Product in the kit) before and it worked so well. Only thing it doesnt do is remove scratches or clear coat. Otherwise good product.

Depends on how deeply they're pitted. I have a couple methods I use for cleaning them up to be fresh.

I usually just use sand paper..done it on many cars..800 to 1000 to 1500 to 2000 to 2000 wetsand..then polish by hand. comes out great every time, and the best part is, all together the stuff costs you about $20, and you can use it many many times. Especially with our tiny headlights on the tegs.

I find it works best if you have the bumper off, to be able to get at every angle. Unless you're running a JDM front end in which case no worries.
