About this deal

When cleaning your car’s paintwork, don’t polish the headlights. Polishes with any grit content can wear down the clear coat, making them more susceptible to UV, pollution and marks. If you do want to polish the lights, make sure the product you use doesn’t contain any grit, or use a clear coat sealant spray afterwards to restore the protective coating of the lights.

The plus side of this is that it’s much more difficult to do damage with the fluffy polishing bonnet than you could with a fast-spinning bit of sandpaper. But the two small foam squares with the abrasive material on are hard work. Eventually we got a decent finish, and it left a lovely shine in the end, but it was no better than the other, cheaper, kits. Some of those rivals also include a UV protection fluid, whereas the Meguiars will leave your newly-polished surface unprotected. Colgate

The QUIXX kit looks as though it might be hard work, as it relies on you using elbow grease and tiny bits of sandpaper. But it was surprisingly little effort in reality. It makes any car look scruffy even if the paintwork is shiny. It will also make the headlamps less effective, dazzle other motorists and could even be an MoT failure. It’s not nonsense either, as the whitening element can remove yellowing in the plastic just as it does on your teeth. Meanwhile the fine particles in the paste act as a gentle abrasive to polish the dull surface.

Start by washing the headlights with standard car shampoo, before drying them with a chamois or microfibre towel. You can either remove the headlights for this job or leave them on your car. Just remember to cover the surrounding area with masking tape to protect the paintwork and plastic trim of the headlight. Equally, some kits are intended for use with a power drill and some by hand. The difference between the two is that the former comes with a drill attachment for the sanding and buffing pads.Apart from the 2-in-1 Turtle Wax product, the kits above follow the same procedures for restoring degraded headlights. Once you have everything you need, you will need to: are a highly reputable brand and their headlight restoration kit is very popular on a global scale. It’s an easy 3 step kit that requires very little effort and completely transforms the headlights. One of the cheapest headlight restoration kits that’s actually worth buying is by the Turtle Wax brand. It’s designed to remove medium oxidation and seal the headlights to prevent further damage from UV rays and weathering.

Restoring your car’s headlights to their original condition is one thing, but how do you prevent oxidation, marks and discolouring in the first place? There are a few things you can do to maintain the appearance of your headlights, reducing the risk of them becoming foggy, cloudy or yellow over time. Here are a few practical tips to try: It took a little more effort, and the finish wasn’t quite as good as the more comprehensive kits though. The QUIXX above is worth the extra quid.
