FZ6S headlight


Bought a fz6s headlight, damaged off ebay.  Arrived yesterday.
one side (left as looking at bike) a few deep scratches, but ok, other side well abraded along the top half.
tried a bit of jif on both sides, but no change.  Left the left side alone.  Cleaned lenses with IPA as there was a lot of glue on lhs, a little on rhs.
right side
used 1000 grit paper to get uniform hazy finish over the damaged area
jif seemed next most abrasive, so plenty of that on damaged area
chrome cleaner
tcut
clean in water
spray furniture polish
the untouched area might have a coating which means you can see the difference if you catch it in the light

Looks pretty good and uniform.  Now I just need to glue some lugs back on and fit it.
€130 saved for a couple of hours work.
