[QUOTE="valvetronix, post: 729686, member: 25563"] Looking good with the oxidised layer removed. In order to get maximum clarity, you gotta make sure to finely sand down the lenses. How to know if it's ready for compounding/polishing? Turn on the headlights and look for any visible scratches/marks, it should just be blurry. After that a little compunding and polishing will really make the lenses clear provided its clean internally. Just a tip that I got from YouTube, use only one direction for each grit, example go horizontal when using 500 and vertical for 1000. Repeat until finish, it helps to remove almost all of the scratches/marks. [/QUOTE]
