plastic compound

is that different than rubbing compound? will rubbing compound be abrasive enough?

600 grit, 1000 grit, 1500 grit, polish, seal, PPF....

Easy on the 600.

I regreded it on the Camry I did. Not sure if it was needed or not. Sure did take a while to get the 600 line out though.

I'm a mobile restoration guy and do this daily. Take heed and stay away from the 600 grit. It will leave lines that take a long time to remove and if you do get them out the lights remain a bit foggy looking. Always use wet sanding, polish, and sealer. Just remember .......

Can you reccomend a specific polish and sealant for a fellow tinter to do his own cars?

Do not really want to get set up as a pro but would like to improve the safety and appearance of my own cars.

Thanks

If you just want to do your own car, I would recommend getting a Brite lite kit from Superior. The same materials I use but in a small quanity that will do 3 to 4 cars and it has everything needed, the oxidation remover, polish, sealer, and even the paper towels. I believe it is somewhere around 25 bucks.

If you want to just use a high quality polish, I would recommend Meguiars #26 Hi Tech Carnuba wax. Apply it to the headlight and buff the :gayfight out of it. I use a polishing pad loaded into my drill. Let it dry completely and remove the residue with a paper towel etc. do not wet it down to remove the residue. Seal it with a high quality sealer like Meguiars #20 and buff it with a wool pad. The more you buff the better the result.
