While detailing the FD, I noticed the turn signals needed some attention. Over all the collected miles from freeway driving the turn signals now look like a teenagers face and it's time to address it.

Here's the before image, as you can see all the little chips/dings; also wanted to remove the lettering on the housings.


Starting off, what I've done is simply by hand wet sanded with soap/hot water using 2 different grit of papers. Started with a more coarse grit at 500 to remove all of the lettering and the pits which estimate about hours work; then moved onto a 2000 grit and proceeded to wet sand for a good hour.
The lights will be vary hazing at this point but don't stress it, it'll all be better soon. This image was about 2/3 done with sanding.


Once all of the pits are removed and you're content then it's time to move on to the rubbing compound. If you prefer a buffer here then more power to you, I decided to do this by hand. I spent a good 45min per light on this stage; you'll notice very quickly the shine will peak through.


Last step is making this really shine and coating it so she wont haze on you. Finishing this up using a buffer and Meguiars carnauba wax, I applied this about three times before I was well satisfied.


And mounted

 

very nice,also the headlight resto kits you can buy in stores works well for the polishing stage,i would also get to the backside surround if it can be reached cause thats where it accumulates alot of road grime,on my f150 the headlights look like crap cause the backsides never washed and surround shows through the front side
