2006 YarisRS 'Renovations'

[BennyLava]

When you polished out the headlights, what grit of sand paper did you use?

Also, is the the exact polish you buffed them with afterwards?

If memory serves me correctly, I used 1500 followed by 2000 or 2500, wetsanding. That stage is important as the more time you put in here, the better the job, IMO. Keep sanding lightly until the yellow slurry turns to white slurry. Rinse well. I then used Meguiar's Ultimate Polish with my dual action polisher and cutting pad. After a good cleaning, rinse and microfiber towel drying, I applied a couple of coats of Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze as in your link - about a day between applications. This is because to get the yellow out, you have to sand off the clearcoat that is on the headlight. That's what yellows. The klasse serves as a replacement for the uv blocker in the clearcoat to keep them from yellowing again. All of this is just my theory, but I have had good long-term success with this approach. We did a raft of cars in our school shop and our 'customers' were thrilled with the results.

Thinking about doing yours?

Klasse HGSG is the product I use exclusively for my car's paint. I have been using it for years and although I haven't tried many other sealants, it is amazingly durable/long-lasting and a few layers creates the most gloss candy-like and slick coating. And, to boot, a $30.00 jug (large jug) will last years! My cars get 4 - 5 coats a year and application is quick. If you want the best method, IMO, follow the link below. I do my headlights every time I do the paint too. I don't use Klasse All In One (AIO) as my paint is pretty clean usually anyway.
