Washed it and put shiny stuff on the tyres. Added 60-70kw.
Well? What are they?
Thanks guys. My car came with one headlight quite yellowed and blotchy. It polished up nicely with some all-purpose metal polish (of all things). After about a year however I noticed both lights getting a bit blotchy again. So I polished them again, and this time I finished them off by waxing them (we'll see how that goes). I don't really mind doing them once a year, but I did wonder why it happens so quickly.
Tom, i have never waxed a car, what sort of difference over a polish does it make? Also what brand do you use?

Derek, are you using a wax or a sealant? A hard wearing polymer sealant will protect your headlights much longer than a wax will and stop crap adhering to them.
For the actual restoring of the lenses try the Novus plastic polish range. I've used it for restoring motorcycle screens and helmet visors back to an optical quality finish. It's hard to come by, so I recently ordered some from that pinball website myself. A good price and delivery was quick.
