I've seen many videos online and products that restore cloudy or discolouration of headlights. Mine are not discoloured but the drivers side in particular seems to be very rough Indeed.

Can I save these headlights with the available products? or would it be a waste of money, they are quite expensive!

I don't know what they're made of, feels like glass to the touch but I'm told that some sort of polycarbonite material is usually used.

Plenty of off the shelf kits available, or wet sanding will do the same thing.

Can be a bit daunting if you're not confident, as you have to make them worse before they get better eek

Plenty of mobile detailers will offer this service as well.

Yes I did actually ask the people who just tinted my windows for me if they could do it but the guy who specialised in that kind of thing had left the company unfortunately.

I certainly don't want to make them look worse, but if it is something I can do myself with an off-the-shelf kit then I will give it a go. Are there any particular kits that come recommended from the pH community?

Many thanks, it's 10% off today as well smile and I have an electric drill. I hope it is capable of lifting those scratches but at the least minimising them would be good!

Edit: 10% off on £50 spend so a good excuse to get some more goodies wink
