How to Restore Polycarbonate Headlights to Original Clarity

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Headlight

Car headlights are made of polycarbonate for safety reasons. Over time, this material becomes cloudy and loses its shine. Follow these steps to restore them to their original brilliance using the technique demonstrated by our YouTuber and the product he showcases, called Cubicando, a professional headlight repair kit that costs £65.00. It is worth every penny. First, mask off the bodywork around the front headlights. Start with a 400-grit disc, then move on to 600, 800, 1000, and finally 1500 grit. Each step is essential for achieving a perfect result. Now, wash with a silicone-free cleaner. It's time to use our Cubicando kit: it's truly remarkable to see how the headlight returns to perfection with the spray. Remove the masking. The result is fantastic!
