Cloudy Headlights

[Tonx]

My headlights were looking a little cloudy and discoloured, managed to restore them in an hour or so and well pleased with the results all for under £5.

Wet/dry 1000/2000/3000 grit and some cutting polish on a rotary polisher to remove the sand paper marks.

Got some headlight film coming from eBay to apply, but in the mean time put some Jetseal 109 over the top as it has UV inhibitors.

Going to put the before and after up, if I ever manage to work out how......

They look brand new.

I'm looking to do the same soon, do you have a link to the headlight film?

There are lots on eBay, just search headlight film UV.

I’ve ordered clear but there is blue tint and black tints for rear lights.

Was a bit nervous scratching up the headlights but as long as you do it in steps ending up with the 3000 grit the cutting compound / polish takes care it it quickly.

With the film apply with water, squeeze it out and use a heat gun for the curves.

Great job Looks really good

Wow, that's really good. I've always been scared of doing that to mine as I keep thinking I'll make it worse or mess it up.

Is it just the regular headlights that cloud up?  I haven't seen any OEM Xenons do that?

Use 3M headlight sealer

I used the turtle wax kit.  The pads were no use but the polish compound worked quite well and the sealer is supposed to last a few years.

Next time I’ll use the wet and dry method with the Turtle Wax Polish compound I got left over and 3m sealer.
