Headlights

[vxr2010]

I bought a 3m headlight repair kit , I only used the polish and the polisher but what a difference the headlights and tail lights look like they are brand new , it prob takes 5 to 10 mins per light but well worth doing , the polisher/ buffer attaches to a drill so it's not hard work

I normally go for the toothpaste / council version

It does make a big difference. Did her Golf recently as they were going off colour.

I heard metal polish works too

Did my JDM HIDs before I fitted them. No yellowing but a few deep scratches. Works a treat but doesn't go very far. My mate just bought an Autoglym kit and it comes with twice as many pads as the 3M kit. Don't know what the price difference is.

The 3m one , polish wise there was enough to do three cars, but I only needed the polish , I bought spare polish , probably 10 pads and a buffer plush polish for 20£ to your door via eBay , but what a difference the bugeye lights were a bit opaque they look brand new now , not only better looks but probably better at night too

I'd advise applying a surface sealant to them once you have finished. I used this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00A3S1RGU/ref...

I've put polish on them for now and I ordered some other polish and it comes with a sealant of some type

Best way is to sand them properly and polish them up after.
You ideally need to fully remove the failed outer layer of UV protection to ensure the issue doesn't come back.
Apply a UV sealant. For example Car Pro DLUX or multiple coats of quality wax. Keep the protection topped up.

I will see how they go , hopfully with the sealant they will be ok for a while , I can always re do them if I need to

T-Cut, a soft cloth (old t-shirt) and 10 mins elbow grease per headlight.
