Micra Mission:
My wife's car is due its MOT tomorrow and she was told about a YouTube guide to fixing her headlights.

As they currently look like this, it was my job to watch the video and then fix them.





First a dry sanding with 800 grit paper.



Followed by wet sanding with 2000 grit.



I ended up having to do this round twice.

Then I used some cutting compound, applied and polished by hand.



Then it was a light dusting with clear coat.



While I was hoovering and cleaning the rest of the car I was wondering how long the clear would need to dry.

At which point a fine mist of rain started coming down, so I figured that would have to do.

Whilst the end result isn't perfect, the lights are miles better than they were.



Depending on the weather, I might take my own car out for a spin at the weekend.

So until next time, take care, Paul.
