Yellow EF lights

I read somewhere that you can polish the EF lights to clean them up?
If you can, whats best to polish them with? brasso or silvo?

Cheers

You can buy headlight polishing kits from all car accessory shops, you get the cream to use and the cloths to do it and everything. I have to do my work car headlights one day, one of the other guys at work did his work car and they came up a treat.

they polish up like cutting/polishing paintwork.

sand with 1200wet/dry paper untill the yellow layer is gone, keep liberally wetting them, as if they get dry as you're sanding you'll put bad scratches on which wont come out(without serious work), then use paint cut and polish, then use a good fine paint polish with a buffer...



dont use brasso or silvo,
