Wet sandpaper 400,800,1000,1500,2000 grit
soap
blue shop rags( comes in a roll)
UV Sealer-Helmsman Spar Urethane(Indoor/Outdoor)Clear Gloss

1.If headlights are on the car, Tape the areas around the headlight to protect it from the sanding process
2. grab your sandpaper and put it in a Bucket of soapy water. Start with 400 and work your way up to 2000. sand side to side, then up down. Dont go in circles
3.rinse off with clean water and dry. it will come out hazy
4. Mix the urethane with mineral spirits 1 to 1
5. fold the blue coth up to a small square.
6. use a corner and dip it in the stuff you just mixed up and lighty wipe the lense in ONE direction. for best results reapply after 30 mins. ( i put on 3 coats but gonna put more on after)
7. if there are runny spots, wait 24 hours, then sand it with 1500 and 200 grit sand paper and reapply!
