Today, you will learn how to polish the headlights of a 2005 Ford Fiesta using the "MA FRA" headlight restoration kit. The kit can be purchased online or in-store for around £20.00. First, open the bonnet and cover the bodywork with masking tape to prevent scratches during the polishing of the headlight.

Before applying the tape, ensure the bodywork is clean; if necessary, use water and glass cleaner to clean the headlight and the surrounding area.

Now, use sandpaper and water to sand the headlight with longitudinal movements. Repeat the process with medium grit and finally with fine grit.

After that, cover the surface of the headlight with polishing cream and a soft cloth. Finish by spraying the polish from a distance of 10 cm. Allow it to act for 30 seconds and repeat the process.

After 30 seconds, the headlight will look as good as new.
