Let me give you a few tips on this because I've done a LOT of headlights and started trying new tools and methods every time. First thing, instead of Smirdex try using Norton or even better Sia sandpapers, better logevity and more uniform grain on those, just a lot better quality. Second use smaller sanding block, the thing you are using is good for flat panels but not for curvy and intricate headlights with corners. Instead of hand sanding 2000 and 3000 try to find 3 inch sanding discs with foam backing, something like abralon etc. And the last thing is polishing out after sanding gives you much better results than polymerization although it's less forgiving on sanding, for perfect result you will need to sand all scratches from previous grit and then to go for next. I know polymerization is the new popular thing to do but trust me in person it's nowhere close to polishing for perfect result. Again, you are doing great job man keep it up just telling what I learned from experience.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 ill try to switch to 3M sandpaper, because we dont have Norton or Sia in my country . And what ive seen during the time headlights just takes practice ... event with all the tools and stuffs , its more what suits you better , i tried polishing them but doesnt work that good as polymerization (for me atleast) . Also thats why im sanding in an X patern to make sure all the previous scratches are gone . But i still have to learn and find my own style of doing headlights so far ,handsanding and polymerization with a ppf at the end makes them like new and no scratches visible 🙏🏼 , but im looking forward to improve !
@@AndronicDetailing Yes, 3M would also work great, they even have sandpaper with velcro backing so you can buy sanding blocks with velcro and stick them together for better grip. I agree that it's learning process and that everyone have their own style. Haven't tried doing PPF on headlights yet, what brand do you use?
At first i used Stek , but now switched to hexis bodyfence . 🤗 i was thinking to do the sanding all by 3M blue foam sandpapers 3' ones , but i gets way to expencive 😅 and im afraid ill get the pig taills marks at the end with using the DA .
In the future i might do another one 🙏🏼❤️ waiting for a car nicer enough to make the video look great too ! And a customer willing to leave the car for extra 4 hours for recording🤣
