Handy for headlight polishing

Post by Chris_D » Wed Aug 17, 2022 9:57 pm

Just heads-up that Lidl has a really handy dandy variety pack of sandpaper available in the shops at the mo.
Comes with 14 grades of paper and 3 sheets of each grade.

I get through a ton of fine-grit paper to remove enamel from copper while building audio cables, but I wish I'd have had this pack when I was refurbing my headlights as I was using the mankiest bit of old 3000 grit paper for both headlights prior to final buffing. They came came out tip top but I felt I had got by just by the skin of my teeth.

In any case, can't go wrong for a fiver....
