Just get them polished - like you would polish paint on a car. Go to any detailer or body
Shop and they will do it in 30 minutes. Will be like new

I polished mine this past weekend easy to do(as long as you have a DA polisher) you can get kits to do it to if you fancy it but like viper said detailers will do it be about £50 to £90

I had mine polished as soon as I bought the car, I could not beleive how good they came up, as good as new.

I bought a 17 quid kit from Halfords, and did both headlights in under an hour.

Don't forget to put a UV sealant on them afterwards and every few months thereafter.

You used your profits from Plastidip to invest in Meguiars?
