Well spent 4 hours this afternoon trailing out this kit. For only £8.33 instead of £20, it just had to be done.
My xenons were not in the best condition, even since I bought them off from QD (Forum member) many moons ago, he was good enough to install them, but wasn't too impressed with the lenses condition.Looking back I payed around £500 fitted.
This is the kit, and I know quiet a few people cottoned on to this deal when it was posted a couple days ago..

Very sorry looking close up, but thought bollocks to it, brought the kit and summoned some tools from the Van..
Weapon of choice
... Detailers might feel light headed with that tool

Pretty scary when you put 800 grit to your headlights leaving quite a worrying mess behind..

Then it was onto the supplied mopping pad with an addition of water to get it nearly scratch free.
I finished off using the compound that was enclosed in the kit, but I decided to use some Meguires Scratch X on the buffing pad and ended up with headlights that now look so much nicer.

Much better, car is filthy so will add a final pic later, but you get the idea. Well worth doing, look so much better, and total time spent was 4 Hours
Don't rush it , take your time when you take this on, and don't panic even before you get to the Compound stage.
I used some Meguires ultimate Polish with my makeshift DA and was well chuffed with the results.
