    Headlight starting to go cloudy :( what to do? (melbourne)

    Hi everyone,

    My Right hand headlight on my Golf 5 has just started to go a bit foggy/cloudy (cloudy white), I am not sure what has happened, my friend suspects chemicals used in cleaning but I am not sure.

    I have read up a lot about headlight restoration but it seems far too advanced for me, and I am scared I will make it worse.

    Could anyone suggest some ideas as to the best way to have this fixed?

    Could you recommend anyone, or a noob friendly guide?

    I didn't want to attempt headlight restoration either, my MKV lenses were microscratched and a bit cloudy, so I used this dude. Was $40 at the time but it looks like the price has gone up. Still, it took an hour and I highly recommend him.

    I've had people comment on how great my lenses look and how much brighter the output is. Martin's an agricultural engineer by day and does car detailing and headlights on the weekends. Great bloke.

      Ive had a lot of success with Meg's Plasti-x

      My advise is take your time - let the headlight cool off between passes.
      Mask off your bumpers and bonnet.
