Great job improving the headlights and wheels. What was your process for the headlights? I'd assume at the very least it required sanding. Limny
Thanx it kicked my but on headlights and wheels. Paint was rock hard and color doesn't really pop. Polishes weren't making a dent and it was a 1 step polish job. If it was a paint correction it would have took m105 with MF pads on speed 6 lol. Headlight process is posted up top under process. Took 2.5 hrs
Thanx. I did some research and apparently Malco Brake Off and Ardex's Buster Wheel Cleaner is suppose to work very well on German brake dust. These wheels needed to be taken off and clayed and compounded to death.
I use Malco's Brake Off and I highly recommended it for jobs like this one. I think you would have gotten the same (or better results) with probably 2 applications. Great turnaround brother.
