Anyone used these?? My headlight is terrible!! It also appears to have lacquer on it in blobs for some reason!! Anyway I was going to orbital sand it with 400,800,1200 then 2500 grit and this restorer things but if they're crap it'll be a new headlight! Just wondered if anyone had experience of them

they DO work but you have to be very patient! also buy transparent film and put it on your headlight after the restoration, otherwise it'll get scratched very soon! :)

I've looked at a 3m kit. It's £20 but as headlight used is £120 so I guess worth a try. Good tip on the vinyl protector!

I've used the 3M kit. Does the job but you have to be both thorough and patient. You're also removing the UV-protective coating so make sure your kit has the UV sealant in it, and be aware that you'll need to reapply it periodically (otherwise the lense will crackle and craze over with thousands of tiny cracks).

YOU CAN MAKE THE CORNER.
DO NOT SLOW DOWN.
