Anyone used this product?

I just use some 1500 then 2500 grit paper, then a compound. Can It be used by hand, or do you have a machine?

Toothpaste! :)

I think I'd rather have someone experienced try

Quite bad eh?

I used a polishing compound by hand this evening to great effect !!

tooth paste doesnt work on them, i had exact same on my bug , compound only

Same as :ok:. This has always worked for me. Compound and then your usual glass cleaner and job done.

You're not wrong, i tried last night and it did stuff all.

Toothpaste only works on glass as good as a polish as glass has no uv protective coating
Anything more than a pure liquid is an abrasive on the coating even though it polishes up.

When you've got them sorted use some Meguires PlastRX
http://www.meguiars.co.uk/product/225/Plast-RX/

Or Meguires Headlight protector

To keep them from going cloudy again.

I found the PlastRX can't be used with a machine polisher as it gets sticky when it gets warm due to the friction. There is a 3M kit available for restoring them as well which is supposed to be quite good.

a mop and g3 does the same job, that or t-cut works a treat. Bit of elbow grease and your sorted!

When I got my bug a month ago during its first real clean/polish session a bit of polish got onto my headlight, I thought sod it and continued with rest of the light. Gave it the same bit elbow I used on rest car and low and behold, it started to remove the 'fog'. A month later and 4 cleaning/polishing sessions later, no more foggy lights at all - thank you tesco own brand car polish!

hehe

SJ offered to have a go at mine - need to see when he's available

My misses used a scouring pad on her Pug 206 headlight as she had some "tar or bug ****" on it. Scratched it to peices! I got the orbital polisher out, and some V36 polish, after 30mins of progressive buffing, it looks better than new!

Finally got round to it yesterday, Dad bought the Meguiars kit with me 50:50 as he wants to try it on something else...

Pretty pleased we didn't need to use the sanding and finishing pads, just be sure to towel off the residue straight away!
