@All
Thank you, everyone!
Yes, I used the Mother’s headlight polishing kit and simply followed the directions on the package.
1. 800 grit + water
2. 1500 grit + water
3. 3000 grit (dry)
4. Polish (applied using buffing ball)
5. Polish using soft microfiber towel.
My belts arrive this Saturday, so I’ll put the hood on then and come back with more pics. I’m a big fan of Hoover Elites, so I’m very happy to have the opportunity to own this one and make it shine like new.
