So I noticed my fog light looks a bit off. Took them off and looked at them closer. They have some rock chips on them. I was thinking about taking it off and wet sand it starting from 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, and finish it off with 2500 or 3000 grit. What I need help is what kind of polish and uv sealant spray should I use afterwards? I just want to make sure I'm using the correct chemicals and not harm my fog lights too much.

I've used the turtle wax one and it was no good. The grit was too high that it couldn't remove the deep dents.

For the deep dents you use wet sanding paper, not wax. After all the wet sanding is when you start polishing. There are a lot of tutorials on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer...ube.Z5rtBsoG9EU -------------------- |
