Headlights polished up.

 

That looks very good, care to share what you used? The BMW and the Jag are both yellowing.

I usually just use T Cut type stuff but had to get the G3 involved as they were quite bad. I then did T cut followed by a metal polish I've found works well on plastics. I do have a proper kit somewhere so I'll give them a coat of the anti UV stuff that's supposed to slow the yellowing

A tester bottle of ceramic coating should do the trick, that’s what I used. Either that or proper 2k lacquer- everything else typically involves being disciplined with reapplication every few months - sod that.

Gave the latest Lupo a clean yesterday, it's a bit of a 10 footer sadly as there are various bits of bodywork that leave something to be desired.

It's a shame, as underneath is really good, and it drives like the low mileage car it is. I'll do my best to tidy it up but it probably wants a respray to make it nice

Paintwork looks alright from the photos, whats the issue with it? Could maybe do with a once over with a MOP and some cutting compound to bring the yellow back a bit, looks tidy apart from that, and the dent in the wing.
