Headlight Restoration: 1998 Mercury Villager

So my father needed a beater for his small business, an every day car to handle boxes and deliveries and he doesn't need a full size van so a minivan was an obvious choice. He found a good deal on a Mercury Villager and brought it home.

The van is in good condition but few things needed some attention. The main thing for him was the headlights since he was complaining that at night he doesn't see the road, the headlights are weak and the light beam is not wide enough. 

I decided to help out so I rolled up my sleeves, pulled out my Flex 3401 polisher and got down to it. 

• First step is to clean the surface with detail spray and clay thoroughly using a clay bar with a clean surface (never use a clay bar if the surface is not clean or contaminated or if the clay fell on the floor)
• Second step is to use the Swirl & Haze Remover to buff out the oxidation. 
• Third step is to use Fine Machine Polish to finish the surface and give it that clear look and smooth finish. 

Here are the results, before and after
