Default Getting scratches put of headlights?

Recently converted my blob sti headlights to HIDs
And with them can see all the scrathches on headlights.
Anyone know of any tricks to get them out?
Was thinking T-cut or buffing them out?

I think Meguires do a kit for Headlight restoration. It basically comes with a brush which you can attach into a regular power drill and use it as a machine polisher with one of their products (Plast-X I think).

I've never tried it myself, but heard good things about it.

I'm interested in your HID conversion though, any chance you could PM me the details?

£20 though... so I'd try autosol first.

PlastX from meguires is good or the meguires headlight restoration kit as mentioned above is good also.if you have a dual action polisher most cutting polishes would take those scratches out.SJ.
