Title: Headlight Polish
Post by: Devilz on 31 March 2011, 00:08

I recently bought new car and one headlight looks dull compared to the other one. So question is, how to polish old headlight with what to make both look same?

thanks

Megs have a link to their headlight restoration kit on YouTube and the results look amazing.

Toothpaste, used it on my lights and they came up a treat.  Colgate Advanced Whitening not sure if that makes a difference but it cleared up the cloudiness on one of the lenses for my xenons and eliminated the finer scratches. :smiley:

a dedicated finishing polish or the kit chris stocks is far better for the job tbh
