Default Headlight restoration before/after

Just finished restoring my headlights. I used the CV headlight restoration kit that I bought from Wal-mart. The bag says 5 minutes total time but it took me about 30 per headlight because they were so badly oxidized. My first one didn't come out as good as the other. Figured out during first sanding phase to continue sanding until entire lens has an even frosted white appearance. If any spots appear yellowed, continue sanding....it will be worth it in the end.

Looks great. That kit works wonders but will have to be repeated on a yearly basis now. I used it on a Sentra I had, worked great but by the end of each year they started oxidizing again. Not nearly as hard on repeat applications though. Great work!
