First remove the headlight from the car and remove all the lights.

Either blow air into it with an air compressor or let it air out.

-Purchase 600 grit, 1000 grit, and 2000 grit sandpapers.

-If your headlight is very scratched, use 600 grit wet/dry sand paper. Be sure to keep the headlight wet during the entire thing, using the spray bottle. Sand the entire headlight, working on small area at the time. This will take a long time. After completion of this step, the headlight should be VERY foggy and contain no deep scratches or pits.

-Now do the same thing with a 1000 grit sand paper. Once again, work on a small area at a time and keep the headlight wet. Upon completion, the headlight should look a little clearer.

-And now with with 2000 grit sand paper. After you are finished, the headlight should look much clearer than in the previous step. However, the surface will still be rough with visible scratches.

-Use a terry cloth to dry the headlight completely

-Apply a little bit of rubbing compound to a cloth applicator. Use the applicator pad to apply 3M rubbing compound to a small area at a time, using a circular motion. Be very thorough and use a moderate amount of force. This step is very hard and will require you to use alot of time. When you are finished the headlight should look much clearer than before. Minor scratches may still be visible.

-use 3M plastic polish last.How much does it cost to buff your front headlight?good question,Ive never done it,if i did,i would buy some good rubbin compound an get to rubbin.buff it clean.repeat if needed...
