So a colleague at work asks me to look out for a new set of headlights for her 55 plate mk5 2.0 fsi. I ask her why and she tells me they're hazy and yellowed through sun damage. This seems to be an issue with some mk5s. I tell I'll fix it for beer and save her a few hundred quid. So I go and buy a 3m headlight restoration kit and get polishing.
I don't have a da polisher so I went down this route as you can use it with a drill. £24 for the pack which comes with various grades of disc, a foam backing plate, a form polisher and some rubbing compound.
He's before....
And after....
All in took 1.5 hours
Not perfect but a load better than before
