Wet and dry sandpaper grading
galaxie500:
Just to add my tuppence worth, I find it easier with the lamps still on the car - need to mask off/protect the metal work surrounding first but a slippery, wet headlamp hitting the deck is definitely not good!
Take your time, soak your various grades of papers in a bucket for at least 10 minutes before use, go through all the grades of wet n' dry, keep the lamp wet by squirting with a hand sprayer (if you haven't got one, empty out and thoroughly clean a Flash bathroom spray or similar from under the sink - the wife will never know!) and don't worry - the totally hazed lamp WILL become clear eventually!
Good luck!

I used the 3M kit, it was brilliant and the results were great and easy to use. I'm about to use it for the 2nd time as the Passat headlights need a bit of attention now so good value for money too.

Audi headlights don't seem to yellow like the VW ones do so I've never had the need to sand my headlights, but has anyone ever tried toothpaste? I'm guessing you want whitening toothpaste for the abrasive particles in it. The video below looks like the guy has smartened his headlights up in 2 minutes flat. I'm not sure how genuine the video is but I've heard toothpaste is very good for cleaning headlights
