I tried some autosol and wirewool... perhaps I didn't spend long enough on it about 15mins... but it's still quite bad :(
Is it just a case of keeping at it?>

could try 1 grade wire wool but not sure if it would be too abbrasive

Ah right. i think Meguaires headlight restore kit is fairly easy to use, comes with drill attachment and pads. Quite a few members have used it and said it fairly scary to start but the results looked really good. Preperation and taking time is key.

Post by: Bow on April 01, 2013, 11:12:15 am: Great not a single issue with them. Bargain at £27 delivered. Didn't use the metal clips sent with them just used the self adhesive strips
