I will post some pictures tomorrow morning, after I have had a chance to re-apply VEIL, so you all can see the progression from bad to good.

Well, as promised, here are the pictures showing the progression from the pretty bad looking to much better. Here is what the problem areas looked like BEFORE wetsanding:





Here's what those same areas looked like AFTER wetsanding (mind you, it is NOT showroom quality):





Here's the car after I re-applied VEIL:














I did take a couple of shots early this morning of the original problem areas. Just to warn you, I think I zoomed in too close, hence the flash. These were taken AFTER I re-applied VEIL:





Please LMK what you all think of my work this time. Again, questions, comments and criticisms are welcome. Thanks very much to EVERYONE for their help and tips!

Wow, Victor, that before-and-after, of your stained headlights, is truly night-and-day difference ! Good job!

Victor what grit sandpapers did you use?

I used 400, 600, and 1000 grit. Would've used 2000 as well, but my pack didn't have it.

Thanks very much. No offense, but given your warning about Goof-Off on plastic, I didn't even try it. Just did straight wetsanding, 3M rubbing compound and Meguiar's PlastX...

[JDS]

That's fine, none taken.

Looks like wetsanding worked very well for you!

Wow, 400 is extreme, I bet you had a ton of scratches at first.
