Step 1: Prep Work Make sure that your headlight lenses are properly prepared before beginning. This means washing them first on both sides to help remove any grime and dirt. Use the supplied cleaning materials in your kit to make this process easier.
Step 2: Sanding Wet (Optional) After washing both lenses thoroughly, move on to sanding down your headlights with either a wet sanding kit or the back of an envelope. Use the included 30-75 grit paper.
Step 3: Sanding Dry (Optional) If you don't want to do a wet sand, simply repeat Step 2 but without the water.
Step 4: Cleaning After sanding, use the supplied cleaning material to remove any left over residue and to dry completely.
