What headlight restorer do you use?

What headlight restorer do you use ( to fix hazy cloudy and yellowy headlights ), why do you use it, where did you get it and how much

AU S1 Falcon .

just get any polish and an electric buffer - itll take you longer to set up than do the headlights.

my EFwent cloudy and crap. i used Plexus plastic polish. Came up pretty good. for headlights a bit more gone, you can uase the plexus in conjunction with a light sanding.

That kit i use has a UV coating that prevents them from turing yellow again.

Yift, I'm interested in what you say about brake fluid - how does it work, and how do you apply it? or is what you're saying just a gig?

Cheers mate!

2000grit on a dual action orbital sander, takes about 2 mins per headlight

This also. but I think this is related to extreme cases.

Full cheers to the member for posting this one up!

Edit: Yes, I've been thread mining!

No joke.

a friend of mine had an integra with the 4 healight front and we put brake fluid on a rag and gave it a wipe. his front bar was faded to all buggery so we didnt care about the paint, and the lights looked brand new for the next few years. i also did it on a few transits and skylines and some ef falcons.
