I haven't got any pics tbh, I used sanding paper as per the youtube vid and then a few different rubbing/ polishing compounds to 'bring back' the lens, The edges are still quite bad and what I am thinking is to get 2 new headlights (around £100 to £120) and get them finished in black inside. I just can't live with the misting effect that is left hence the new ones........thats after I have done all the other stuff thats in the pipeline

Hi All,

Finally got around to uploading the pictures. I think the difference is sibstantial but there is still some areas that are "matt" like in the areas where the headligh was oroginally in the worst condition. Autosol gets rid of the yellow tint very quickly, but after than it is a lot of polish to get a small gain.

I am not sure if you can still improve on what is visible on the "after" pictures but I would say the result is still very good.

Sorry for different angles and exposure but pictures taken on different days and with different weather.

Thanks!

I used a microfibre cloth for polish, I reckon some sort of fleece coudl potentially give a slightly better results but did not have any around.

Excellent results mate! Looking at the pics they look fresh! Maybe stick some polish on it after you wash the car each time to give it some protection and prevent the dullness coming back :thumbsup: must have some really toned arms from all that effort!
