How to smooth or remove deep scratches from your headlight lens?

Question

i just brought used headlights from a junkyard and they are scratched real bad. i need a compound, materials or something to remove these scratches. its not simple scratches. these scratches are deep hard. how can i remove deep hard scratches from my headlight lens?

Answer 1

You can use a very mild rubbing compound and a low to medium  speed buffer.......

Answer 2

If the scratches are too deep..then there may be nothing you can do...because the thickness of the lens is only so much..if you try to buff it down too much..you'll wear a hole right through it.

If you want at least a chance to save them....go to an auto parts store..and get yourself a headlamp restorer kit.

It's designed to take the minor scratches and the yellowing off of the lenses.

Like I said however...if the scratches are too deep..you may not get all of them out.

Good luck,
