I know this is common but could anyone recommend a decent product that would clean this up?

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello All I am sure this has been discussed many times, but my mates GEN2 996 lights are looking a slight yellow colour. I know this is common but could anyone recommend a decent product that would clean this up? Someone had recommended G4 glass polish but the reviews are not that great. many thanks, Phil

POST 2Original post

Plenty of headlight kits on the market to choose from. If not to bad try some polish or compound taking care with all compounds Maguire do a compound But remember to use a sealant after or a long lasting wax to seal it after all the hard work of polishing them up.

POST 3Original post

It depends if you want to do it yourself. I didn’t. So for About £80 I got a mobile company to do mine. They had the product, tools and know-how, so saved me effectively having to practice on my own lights. YMMV though.

POST 4Original post

Second that, for two reasons, Firstly, if they damage them, they're paying for repairing a few hundred quids worth of a light! Secondly, know how, tools and time to do it. Autofarm did mine and I paid an hours labour and parts (just over £100 if I remember rightly) but they popped out the headlamp washers properly, I would have probably broken a clip or two. They used three grades of wet sand to get a great finish. By the time you've spent money on a kit, you may as well add more and get someone else to do it IMO. I'm all for people trying their own thing, and watching them do it, I probably could have done it myself, but glad I didn't.
