Re: RS6 C5 headlights
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
Re: RS6 C5 headlights
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

Re: RS6 C5 headlights
I had mine polished as soon as I bought the car, I could not beleive how good they came up, as good as new.

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