Hello campers, worth a watch for those in need of some tlc to the headlights

I use a good car wax,gentle roundy round motion,used it many times,even got the scratches out when a neighbour reversed into my plastic headlight cover !!!,but great for road grime

Nice one, Neil, that sounds just enough to keep the lights in tip top condition,

I use metallic T cut and thats always done the trick very well.

That's great guys. I am driving on winding country roads and I was thinking my lights were poor.

Any abrasive action on the headlight lens can further damage the UV resistant coating that has clearly already been damaged, hence the cloudy appearance. I gather that after gentle cleaning of the lens using a very lightly graded abrasive the resistant coating needs to be replaced.  The only UK product I can find that seems to cover this method is WIPE NEW headlight restorer (±£14).  However, there is an American product called Pittman's Lens Cleaner which is a liquid with apparently no abrasive interaction but it's expensive and I can't find a UK outlet so shipping costs must be added to the already high £26 product price.
