a pc would be too slow/weak to do this and if you dont know what your doing with a rotary i wouldnt suggest it. your headlights werent that bad. i would of just polished them out. not good that your sanding down the top layers of protection they have on headlights to keep it from yellowing/oxidation later on. but nice work.

Headlight restoration is a fairly easy process. Both Jake and I are very good at this. Also, tail lights can be restored too. Much like headlights, they can get oxidized over time as well.

you could of just got 1500 wetsand then compound and buff w/ machine. never had to do mines but had a couple of friends did theirs and came out brand new. and since they garage their cars now, it never faded again.
