Finally got around to the headlights!

Can someone supply this kind of service at a decent rate please. Would happily pay 30 quid + cost of materials for it.

I'm not keen on using sandpaper on my headlamps. I'd end up ruining them.

nfarmer, very nice result, but you'd get a better result if you completely removed the failed coating (you can still see it after your sanding stages) I'd guess that close up you can still see unevenness on the surface? That's because the coating is still there. If you sanded it off completely you could have the lens looking brand new.

I take your point, it would have been a little better if I'd taken it a bit further. But as it was done for a visitor time was limited and had to be done between showers etc there was a practical limit as to exactly what I could do. Never the less I (and my wifes friend) was very happy with the result.

As a matter of interest what were you using to polish the headlights, I don't recognise the packets by your end result.

I think you would need to dip deeper in your pocket if you went to a commercial operator I bet it would £75 plus at least

Did you use polisher or just done but hand only? My effort using a 3" polishing disc and Greygate paste was no where near as good.

I used the wet and dry by hand and the Autoglym Restoring polish on a foam pad fitted to an normal household electric drill mostly on the low setting
