So, today I did our '03 Audi A8 headlights with the 3M headlight restoration kit and some UV protection seal. They were really bad and came up a treat, and my OCD'ometer started twitching when I studied the 4S's lights. They are going a bit yellow and crazed, not bad, but could defo do with attention.

Should I leave well alone, or give it a go? Anyone tried sanding/polishing 996 lights?

I was planning on removing the light units to avoid any paint damage.
 
I used to have to do mine once a year!

I never had to sand them, but always had to polish them to get the clarity back. It failed an mot on it one year! :lol:

At least porsche headlights are easy to remove, so it's best to do them on the bench in my opinion.
