Here's the link to the process and products I used. I'm not affiliated with Chemical Guys, I just use their stuff. Engine needs a clean too :oops:

I can offer this service if anyones interested and can't be bothered to do it themselves. Takes about 2 hours for two lights.

The cars outside 24/7 365 Fred. And hasn't had any tlc for a year or so..I've just done the lot, clayed, detailed, sealed, dipped rims again, headlights, cleaned leather seats, carpets interior and glass. Going to re-dye, clean the pram top and seal that in a couple of weeks.
