Clouded looking headlight lense
Basically sorting out another issue with the car, this time a leaking headlight, I thought it looked as if it was condensation, so once light was apart realised the inside seems a bit tarnished, aswell as the outside.
Anyway tried using something like fast glass to wipe the stuff off inside the light, wouldn't come off, seemed to shift if scrubbed at it for abit with finger nail.
So tried the meguiars headlight restoration kit on it, but now lense seems completely clouded rather than clear.
Anyone know best way to try get it back looking its best again??

nevermind just done abit more reading and seems if they inside seem very sensitive to marking, so probably need to replace both headlights :/ the joys, as the driver light seems to be clouded every so slightly so must be leaking a small amount aswell, so inside of that will most likely be suffering same as passenger light

try the toothpaste trick fella. i bought my bug sti and the lenses were cloudy so got some arm and hammer toothpaste and a cloth and went to work. rub it in circular motions all over for 5 mins then spray some water on and rub some more then rinse off. they come up lovely and smelt minty fresh too

tricked tcut glass polish, I think its the lens that's damaged, the megs kit came with sanding pads and thing that's damaged the lens most likely, they aren't too bad, but just looks a lil hazed
