Can anyone tell me the best way to remove the haze on plastic headlamp lenses (no, not an MG, they are on my Honda and it failed the MoT with headlamp issues!! Is it worth trying the expensive plastic polish that is used for plastic rear windows? ~ So far tried, T Cut and Brasso, but the haze is still there :S

You mean Greygate? It was developed specifically to reduce scratches in plastic.:shrug:

the only thing you can do repair wise is strip them down an get them re-chromed

I've tried just about everything else including chrome sprays (rattle tin not the pro stuff)

The reflectors are very good, its the outer clear lens on the outside that has become scratched, just found that Megluars do a hard plastic polish but its mega expensive. Will try the Greygate first. thank you.:lol:

An Update ~ i had a go at polishing the plastic lenses with the Renovo plastic window polish, it cleaned off some of the "haze" but they are still not bright and clear. Going to order some Greygate and try that next. keep you updated :whistle:
