Now here's an idea for fellow members who are booked in with us for cooling fan installs.........
Get yourselves the 3M polishing kit before your visit up here to Sunny North Wales. While we fit your fan you can get polishing the headlamps on the bench. Makes for an even better job while the slam panel is removed and no hassle with masking off the front bumper

Just done mine as they were shocking, really good kit and very easy. Did mine with bumper off as was changing xenons and intercooler pipe. Easy job that has really improved front end..

I must admit the thought of sanding the headlights scares the hell out of me and I used to do ali polishing for a living some years ago I will get round to it soon as have to put the front end back together sometime

you couldn't be more nervous than me about doing things like that trust me - it is amazing how it works out. I really was astonished at the results when I used it - I put a photo of the results in my '2015 CDT project' thread if you want to see another example. It is a bit worrying, particularly after the first and 2nd stages, but when you see each stage progressively get it back to crystal clear, you find it gets less stressful towards the later stages!

It's been said a million times but, this is a really easy kit to use and the results are brilliant as all the pics show.
I found it really satisfying too, the worse the lights, the more satisfying it gets I guess
