Hi All,
Does anybody have any experience/advice on cleaning headlamp covers using toothpaste, (lots of) water and a pad in an electric drill?
Alternatively, would I be better off using a proprietary polishing kit?
Many thanks in advance.

I had to polish the headlights on a 2003 Jaguar XJ6 which were starting to get dulled from sunlight UV. Best to use a paint polishing kit. It's quite an effort by hand, (my arm was almost falling off with the Jaguar job !), but it does work eventually
