These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

They are looking a little tired and wondered if there was anyway of tidying them up? Or will they need replacing (a few £££ from what i can see) I can not make out if the marks are on the surface or actually inside the glass! Any advice? Thanks.

POST 2Original post

I would first try a plastic lens polish like Macguiers Plastic X. Its supposed to be great at removing hazing on headlights. If there are severe scratches then you may need to get them buffed. Probably the cheapest option before you start looking at new headlights

POST 3Original post

Mine were similar and clayed them, very carefully, now a lot better and very smooth. Also did the back lights and full width reflector which came up great[ ] I was supprissed by the amount of stuff that came off on the clay.

POST 5Original post

Toothpaste, Fabric Conditioner, what's next? Toilet Duck for cleaning under the wheel arches? [ ][ ][ ] MrsEast must get fed up with you raiding the household cleaning products.......

POST 6Original post

Toilet Duck brings a whole new meaning to porta loo, a high speed one at that!!!! Perhaps Porsche should bring out one!

POST 7Original post

LOL... Its better than that crap Halfrauds sell. Toothpaste is great for polishing metals as its a very fine cutting compound.

POST 8Original post

just get worried when he starts recommending anusol..[ ][ ][&:]

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Tried toothpaste! Hasn't cleaned them particulary well but they are now minty fresh and pearly white.

POST 11Original post

On a serious note. You will get different results with different toothpaste's something like Colgate total is good. Not the gel type pastes. + Like you said some might be on the inside.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
