    Better off calling into a detailer, they would have them buffed out in 10 minutes.


    Try Detailer.ie or Spirit Detailing (both dublin area)


    Where are you based ?

    Hi i had this same problem on my gf's car! one headlight was looking a bit dull almost turning yellow(ish)


    searched the net and tbh i couldnt really decide on what was best as there seemed to be a lot of the same products on the market

    i ended up using tooth paste beleave it or not and it cleaned up the lamp nicely!

    any toothpaste will do but i used colgate (spelling)

    rub it all over the headlight with a micro fibre cloth when the headlight is covered in the paste, use another cloth to rub it off, its as simple as that

    it does get sticky near the end but keep rubbing it till its all off.

    give it a shot and you will be suprised ;)

    I find going over them with T-Cut helps a lot.

    Get G3 cutting compound and use a rotary on them that seems to be a good job for them.
