Jethro Detailing: Perodua Myvi - Headlamp Restoration

A customer requested us to restore his yellowish headlamp and fix his paint chipping problems from stone chips plus some car waxing service. Due to the severity of the oxidized headlights, a professional sanding approach is required to restore it.

Beginning of the detailing process, washing of car.

After washing the whole car, we tape the side of the headlamp to prevent sanding the car's paint prior to headlamp sanding.

After wetsanding: 800 grit, 1200 grit & 1500 grit
(To sand off the damaged clearcoat from the headlamp)

After wet sanding, we use Turtle Wax Heavy Duty Rubbing Compound to remove heavier sanding marks and evenly level the sanding marks.

Definitely looking much better than it was previously! But wait, we don't just stop there.(After polished of the headlamp with Detailing Kingdom Next Cut 1.1 (Compound))

Now it looks really new after polishing and coating.
(1. Polished with Detailing Kingdom Next Cut 3.3 to remove finer scratches from compounding
2. Coating with SiO2 glass coating for long lasting protection)

Now let's get on to restoring the other headlamp.
