Headlight Restoration (noob question)
Okay have followed the DIY guide but am not too happy with result. Ended up being better than before obviously but it's still the slightest bit hazy... Does it need more sanding with the 2000grit? and a normal cut and polish should suffice to bring it clear right?

Just picked some up from supercheap, had a better look... It's funny to think that the nearest Kmart and Autobarn store to me is like over 2.5 hours away

haha I live up in North Queensland in Bowen... Which is 2 and a half hours from the next major city which would be either Townsville or Mackay. Might as well live in some secluded forest haha

You need to machine buff it. You will never get a good finish using your hands.
