I noticed last night when my car was parked face onto a wall, whilst raining, I cold seen the rain drops sliding down the lights reflection clear as day against wall.
Yet to go for a night time drive yet, but I'm sure it will improve range and clarity of the light beam.
wife commented they looked more sharper and more defined when lit up this morning, certainly looks like I have new xenons fitted now rather then dated 5 + years old.
Worth buying this kit if your lights lenses are in poor condition. .. You can go wrong, easy step by step guide supplied with the kit, and everything you need,and don't need to buy the blue masking tape as it comes with that too.
My own personall recommendation is some scratch X and a good polish after as this isn't supplied.

I also bought a kit at that great price. As per Andrew I need to grow some cojones and do this at some point.

It was very satisfying, seeing before and after, and felt I really achieved something yesterday

Looks like you got some good results there Steve, I can see why it took you 4hrs now. :happy2:
How come you started with the 800 grit and then the 500 grit? Surely it should be the other way round? :confused:
Had a go on one of my headlights today and I must've done something wrong, its covered in scratches if you look closely and doesn't look even. The other untouched headlight looks much better. Knew I should've left it lol. :ashamed:

I started with the Yellow discs, moved onto the white ones,so maybe my typo error as to which one I done.
Did you do yours with your Nail files Mandy?? :evilgrin:
What drill did you use?? Battery one or mains ?
