Alloy headlight polishing outside + inside polishing

Many of you who follow my instagram know that I was helping Andrei Coollersex to bring his machine in excellent condition, this time, the spotlight polished outside and inside.
Polishing with sandpaper tried the first time turned out fine, but not ideal as a drill do not really need a polishing machine.
Farah was dirty inside and had a strong plaque outside
Alloy headlight polishing outside  inside polishing
First hide with water 1500 sandpaper, then 2000 and polished
Alloy headlight polishing outside  inside polishing
The result is difficult to assess, as the spotlight was still muddy inside
Alloy headlight polishing outside  inside polishing
Alloy headlight polishing outside  inside polishing
But since we changed block roseira AG, it was decided also to disassemble the headlight to Polish it inside, and here a field of this procedure, the result was on the face)

Then thoroughly wash the spotlight. Then Polish with 3M paste (three of em). I was polishing around the average hardness (yellow). Polishing paste and sprinkled with water. After I walked pasta 74, headlight wash again well with water, wipe and see that the headlight has acquired a gloss and Shine, but not fairly pronounced!

you only need gloves to do this because of plastmassa is heated specifically. And a screwdriver with a wide blade, so as quietly as thawing of the sealant to pick up the lens. So as not to smear the lounger, I even put a rag just in case. Gathered there, in the same sequence!

Write all the lacquer. Where there is information that the lights from the factory varnish covered? How polished the headlights have never seen a coat of varnish. And I can't say that the lights darken quickly. Just as with the plant after a few years. Under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, aggressive environments, and lamp bulbs of the headlamp. But that's when the varnish and it bounces then this is the pornography that still.

Yes, I also wondered this, found nothing. Just my headlights were polished and they don't get dull faster than the factory, it depends on the intensity of use of the machine.
