Stop fart arsing around, 3000 wet n dry, soapy water, then some cutting compound with a DA polisher ,and polish/wax/sealant to follow and you will be amazed in the difference.
Or let someone else with the confidence to do it for you.

Your welcome to do mine Steve!  :innocent:

If you fancy a small trip to Southampton Martin, I'm happy to do them,or we can arrange a day trip meet etc ;-)

So because it's on the internet it must be true?? I'm sure I COULD use Sandpiper to wipe my bottom!

There are lots of chemicals in Toothpaste which are of unknown effect to the plastic/glass headlights.
The abrasive particles ( :stupid:) are not of even cut so you cannot get a really high quality even finish.

If you want to use Toothpaste then you can do so, because you're a cheapskate and should buy some proper polish, pads and materials!  :signLOL:

I wouldn't use one of those, might be painful.  :P
