Head lights
 

What is the best stuff for cleaning mrk 2 head light lens.

Not sure if the MK2's lenses are of the same material, but mine is a MK1 and I used a T-Cut Headlight Restoration Kit sourced on E-Bay, cost £8.99. No power tools needed, just some elbow grease. Did a good job, and resulted in a noticeable improvement. The poor state of the lenses were one of its last MOT's advisories.

Other products are available!

Hi Paul, the info on the MGR build data site has the paint code JEL, although the actual code is JBH. Mine's the same. :D

MK1 & MK2 lenses are moulded from the same type of plastic.

Me at a Nano :D:D:D:D.

Seriously - most of the kits are pretty good.

If you have access to a polisher then it's wet and dry from 800 (if they're bad) working through 1000, 1200 & 1500 (alternating grades up/down and left/right) then a course followed by a fine polish and finally you need a sealant with UV blocking properties.

Remember to mask off around the lights and better to do a bit on each and go back again so the lenses don't get hot while being polished.

Have fun. :}

The 3M headlight restoration kits are good if you want to do a proper job.

The 'cleaners' are just a temporary fix & you'll be lucky if it lasts.
