Sanding down with wet & dry paper using progressively fine grades works, takes s while to do and you need patience. There are plenty of YouTube videos on this. Other than that put a new headlight in from ECP, Good as oem imho.
Have you used that product before?
t8ups has said repair will cost as much as replacing the light! Can't afford that
I did buy it with full intentions of using it on a previous car, but before I got around to using it the car annoyed me to the point where I advertised it for sale and sold it the same day.Have you used that product before?

I ended up giving the kit to a friend, I'll have to ask them if they used it or not.
There are loads of videos on Youtube showing you how to get the most of it, so have a look on there before you buy it.
Lol - must have annoyed you a lot - the car!
Do ask if you don't mind please - personal recommendation is always good!
I've seen the videos, most speak of the spray you require after sanding it down etc. I don't mind buying the spray, just want a proven 1.
I spent a small fortune trying to prevent a massive smoke issue, and never got to the bottom of it.
Then a hose split which was expensive and tricky to repair, so that annoyed me and then the clutch slipped once which inspired me to sell it quickly.
I advertised it on a sunday morning and it was gone that afternoon.
I'll ask him about it next time I see him. As for the spray, I thought it came with it in the box. I can't imagine it's any different to the spray from a clay bar kit, it's main purpose is to lubricate.

I could. Or you could be patient and understand that other people have different priorities in life
I'll ask him when I see him next, but you can search online for more info. Amazon would be a good place to start if Youtube doesn't have the answers.
just a question...are you sure your problem is on the outside of the lens or inside. If inside, you need a new light assembly. it looks like its on the inside

It's a text for gods sake; don't bother asking him if it's too much trouble!
I had a mobile headlight restore guy come out to take a look at my light... Straight away goes it's pretty obvious the headlight to the left is a new headlight! There's also a label clearly stating when it was made lol - 2016 whilst the dull headlight is the original that came with the car 12/2011 - my bad!
As for restoring the guy kindly polished and waxed it for free saying he can't repair it unless he cleans the inside which he only does for his own cars n not customers.
He could've made it a bit better by taking a layer of plastic off but in the long run it's not worth it.
A genuine, honest guy. Wish there were more guys like him in the motor trade!
Going to leave the light as until I can pick a new 1 up at a bargain price lol
Any recommended shops?
