I've got the same problem in that they need cleaning but I'm not sure what can be used without scratching the lens.

Suggestion · Original poster

I was thinking of spraying the lens to protect them and to use spray with a light tint to partially hide the internal marks, I wondered if anyone had any experience of such sprays?

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've just finished polishing my headlights and, although pleased with the finish, there are some small water marks inside the headlight. I was thinking of spraying the lens to protect them and to use spray with a light tint to partially hide the internal marks, I wondered if anyone had any experience of such sprays?

POST 2Original post

I've got the same problem in that they need cleaning but I'm not sure what can be used without scratching the lens. What did you use to clean?

POST 3Original post

I tried the Mcguiars kit, but was not impressed. Although it definitely improved the lights, it was not up to the standard I was after. So I am going to have them professionally cleaned, to a local guy. Will let everyone know what the outcome is. By the way the price is £60, and will take 3 hrs. Fingers crossed.[ ]

POST 4Original post

Well headlights all done and what a difference!! They look like new. Took 2-3hrs and have had a final uv protection coat applied, so really pleased. This guy also does carbon dipping, and has some fantastic work. Based in Spennymoor, he was recommended by my son in law, after doing his 996 Cab headlights. A real perfectionist. And no he is no relation, never met him until today. If anyone is interested he is "hydroartworx.co.uk. I think when somebody does a great job on our pride and joy they should be mentioned.[ ]

POST 6Original post

I went on You tube, typed in Headlight restoration, good selection of videos, ended up taking the plunge using different wet & dry sheets. Very pleased with the result.
