After trying various things pre-mot (they were an advisory last time round) I found that Autosol chrome polish does an excellent job, for the minimum of effort.

Good shout, thanks.

Mine need doing.

Well, it was the Autoglym chrome polish in the garage, but what a difference, should have done this ages ago.

Did you give it a hand job Bob or use a buffer ??

Just elbow grease.

I got the same result using Brasso. 5 mins rubbing then wiped off with a baby wipe, job done.

Follow up with a UV resistant car polish to slow down the fogging up.

Good tip.

Would factor 15 sun cream do for the follow up?

So long as you dont take it swimming

Crystal Disc repair fluid is the daddy for the UV problem.

The "Range" DIY super store do a good headlight refurbishment kit amounts their car parts. That comes complete with a final application of UV/Protective coating. I've used it with good results.

I used 2000 grit wet and dry with a little washing up liquid in the water, brought them up like new.

Thanks.

Ok, here's another one I've just thought of: wood ash from the log burner. We use it on a damp sponge to clean the glazed doors of the woodstove, and it works a treat. Didn't think of it until after using the Autosol but will try it next time. And it's free.
