    You receive the same resuts using a hot air gun on high heat, low blow, without having to use volatile chemicals. Sand the headlight going down to 1200 grit, then use the heat gun moving in small circles. I finish the process spraying the headlight with a UVC clear coat to give the headlight some protection. It is not a totally permanent repair, might last a couple of years depending on your location

    It's just acrylic, whatever you did, polishing the surface will damage the OEM UV protection layer, this vapor will survive at least one year in FL or more than two years in NY depending on how much UV is in the environment, to extend the lifetime of it, put protection film with UV coating on it only if your headlight not running at high temperature, or you can spray UV coatings like Megiuar on it.

    The first thing I do after cleaning headlights is I buy cheap UV window tint and pase it on there and trim with a razor and it get's protection for a good 5 to 6 years before the tint starts to peel and flake off, but no worries, peel the tint and re-apply it. The headlight under the tint is 100% clear. UV tint does not get hazed or yellow because it has UV protection.

    @George Nooner except headlights are clear coated, and that's what uv waves break down, the clear coat. Simply buffing that clear coat would yield the same results. If the clear coat is completely faded you have to sand and re clear coat otherwise the bare plastic oxidizes super quickly without the uv protection of the clear coat.

    it didnt. the sanding took away the faded dry plastic layer on the outside, the finer and finer sanding grits removed the scratches created by the paper used before. He said to take it to 1200 wet/dry and then he used the steamer. I have polished lots of plastics over my years and its amazingly simple. I use water and a couple drops of dish soap while sanding. Removing the gloss is what you are after at first, then making scratches from the paper smaller. I use buffing compound and a few shop towels to buff the shine back. It takes a little elbow grease. BUT, the lenses will eventually go dull once again but it will take more than 2 years and this guys warranty will have expired by then if you could ever find him again.
