Very impressive. I would have made it worse.

haha. If someone was to do and have mint plastics, i HIGHLY recommend take the headlights out of the plastics and doing this. B/c it is very easy with the 500 and 800 grit to sand thru the paint. I did go thruthe paint, but i knew i didnt care if i did on that piece,

that is the sickest bike i have ever seen

hahahaha. no doubt!!!!! lol

a guy that owns a body shop that I use to work at when I was like.. 15? offers this service for car headlights. Its AMAZING what the before and after looks like. Even if your bike doesnt need it, I would do it to your polycarbonate lenses on an older car that has a "yellowing" of the headlights or lots of pits. It looks like you put brand new headlights on your car.

yah its 20 bucks for the kit at wal mart or meijer. will do a few cars at the least. My gf's lil sister's mustang is completely covered to where you cant see a songle thing inside the headlight housing. cant wait to do those!!!! its prolly gonna use the rest of the sanding disks, lol. they are EXTREMELY bad!! the 500 grit is going to be used A LOT on these, lol.

its nice when people pay 10-15 bucks to get there headlights done!!
