I can certainly recommend the 3M Headlight Lens Restoration kit https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-Headli...oAAOxyR7tTkCiz
This photo shows how bad mine were and how clean the above kit got it on my first attempt using the 3M kit. |

Maybe a stupid question but will these kits also improve the bog standard halogen lights on a mk1? Mine are looking distinctly grey.

Done three sets of standard lights using just wet & dry, and polishing with brasso with drill buffering attachment. Came up as new.
Bought a kit from a local retailer but junked all but the final sealant. Regards |

Hi the Lotus boys put me in the know about a TCut headlamp restorer the first treatment can be applied by hand or machine and restores the plastic lens material. Whilst the second part of the treatment redcoats the plastic with a UV protection which keeps them from going cloudy again for quite a few years. I have used on my wife’s and on my own about 4 years ago and they still look brand new. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Good evening,
another vote of confidence to the 3M kit. I done mine a couple of years ago & they are still looking good. I would recommend using a UV protectant to help keep the lenses clear. I Tcut them first to remove any decolourisation before applying the UV protectant. Rob
