As above.

Before splashing out on wet and dry or restoration kits, try some G3 compound first...

Left is before, right is after. Ok, they're still a touch yellow, but for 2 minutes effort on both sides, it has to be work a go.

Hi DG,mine are crap where do you get the G3 compound please.Dean.

You can buy G3 from Halfords, its an expensive way of buying it but saves having to wait in for a parcel delivery!

I've used G3 a few times to clean up headlights that are yellowing after they have previously had the sanding technique, works OK as long as they aren't too far gone.

Why not? Brasso is about the same abrasive as T-cut. Ie - barely abrasive at all.

I just did mine using the thing you use for refurbishing paint on cars with some paste you also use for that. Took about 2 minutes per side and clear as a day now.

That's what I do. Both lamps done on the car, and cleaned up in under 15minutes. In the street and the dark.

Eleccy spinny polisher and T cut never fails, mask off the car if doing in situ though

I'll probably get 3M kit again for the 3.2, great results on the old 2.2.

Microfibre cloths work well
