2004 VW R32 – Headlight Lens Refurbishing

, ,

While one of our longtime VW R32 customers was in for repairs, we performed a headlight lens refurbishing.

The Process

His R32 was in for a water pump, thermostat, coolant bypass pipe (crack pipe), and power steering pump. We also performed regular maintenance. First, we start by removing the headlights from his VW. Next, we wet sand the entire lens. We use 330 grit sandpaper, which removes oxidation, pits, nicks and blemishes. Thirdly, we move on to 400, 600, and 1200 grit sandpaper. Now that headlight is extremely smooth, we appy our headlight len refurbishing treatment.

We use a new way to clean headlights. It’s different! We don’t polish. Also, we skip the clear coat. We remove the yellow haze, then add a special treatment. This takes only five minutes per light. Now, the R32’s headlights look brand new! To keep them safe from Seattle weather for a year, we add a thin layer of nano ceramic coating.

As you can see, the lights look almost like new. We can’t make them 100% perfect. There are small flaws inside the light housing. But, cleaning your headlights is much cheaper than buying new ones. New Mk4 R32 headlights cost over $600 for a pair, plus the cost to put them in.
