How to remove corrosion haze from headlights

(1/2) > >>

homesqueeze:
Hi. I need some help to restore my 05 GTI headlights. There is an ugly hazy kind of corrosion that has been spreading for some time. I have been advised to fix it or eventually it won't pass its M.O.T. I have tried Meguiars headlight restoration kit, but it was rubbish. I used the drill and buffer as instructed, but it made barely any difference. What a waste of £20. I have seen a few other GTIs of my vintage but their headlights look fine. Is it just bad luck? Does anyone know a fairly cheap and easy way I can get rid of this problem?

Have a look at the wetsand thread.

How bad are your headlights....can you post some pictures..???

They are not awful yet, but they are only getting worse.
Can't get them on straight away, but I'll try and get some pics on as soon as i can.

I've got the same thing going on on my 05.  Was going to try toothpaste (don't laugh) as I've heard this is pretty good for sorting headlights out but then decided to sell the car instead  :happy2:
