STEP TWO: SAND AND POLISH
WHAT IT DOES: Sanding with the coarse 400 grit sandpaper removes all haze, oxidation,
and failed UV coating. The 1000 grit and 2000 grit sandpapers, along with the Clarifying
Compound, will polish the headlight lens surface and prepare it for the new protective UV Block
Clear Coat. All sandpaper in this kit is premium waterproof material designed for wet sanding.
PROCEDURE:
Locate the 3 sheets of sandpaper supplied in the kit. Identify the 400 grit (most coarse),
1000 grit (medium smooth) and the 2000 grit (smoothest) sandpapers. Fold the three
sheets in half, using one half of each sheet for each headlight.
Begin sanding with the 400 grit sandpaper. Fully wet the headlight lens and sandpaper
with clean water. Sand the surface of the headlight lens using even, circular motions and
medium pressure. Continue to add water as you perform the sanding process, keeping the
headlight and sandpaper wet. Sand the entire surface until the headlight lens feels smooth
to the touch. Check for completion periodically by rinsing with water and then drying the
headlight lens with a paper towel or clean cloth (NOT the white or blue towels provided with
the kit). The 400 grit sanding step is done when a dry headlight lens has a uniform, light,
white haziness with no yellow or clear spots. You are ready to move on once a noticeably
smooth lens is achieved. (continue...)

STEP ONE: APPLY SURFACE ACTIVATOR
WHAT IT DOES: Surface Activator prepares the surface in 2 ways: It removes the yellow
staining and it softens any remaining original UV clear coat that still may be on the headlight
lenses.
PROCEDURE: Spray Surface Activator generously onto each headlight lens until they are
completely covered. Let this liquid sit on each lens for about 30 seconds. Wash completely
with water to remove loosened corrosion.
STEP TWO: SAND AND POLISH (continued):
Using the 1000 grit sandpaper and medium pressure, sand all headlight lens surfaces
multiple times adding water as necessary, for approximately 5 minutes.
Using the 2000 grit sandpaper and firm pressure, sand all headlight lends surfaces
multiple times adding water as necessary, for approximately 5 minutes.
Open the packet labeled Clarifying Compound (Step 2
). Apply a quarter size dollop onto
one of the white towels provided, about one half of the contents of the package. You will
use this same towel on the second headlight lens, along with the remaining compound.
Wet the headlight lens, and rub the compound over the entire lens using even circular
motions and firm pressure. Rub all surfaces multiple times for approximately 5 minutes.
When complete, rinse the lens thoroughly and completely dry it off. You will still see a light,
white, haze to the lens. This is normal.
Reapply the Surface Activator for 30 seconds and then thoroughly rinse with water. This
will fully clean the lens in preparation for the coating step that follows.
Remove the tape if it was applied. Using the other white towel provided, completely dry
the headlight lens surface and all surrounding surfaces, making sure moisture is removed
from all areas. This will ensure optimal bonding of the UV Block Clear Coat.

Important: Before proceeding to Step 3 (UV Block Clear Coat Application) please complete
‘Step One’ and ‘Step Two’ on BOTH headlights. This will help ensure that the coating process
is not disturbed on the first headlight while restoring the second one.
