Slightly poor headlights?

[LEE69]

When my mate "clay bared" my car he also did the headlights, and fook me the difference is amazing, the light is so much crisper and brighter.

Bit of pointless info but might be beneficial to someone.

Search on detailing world mate. Its the process of removing tar and contaminants from the surface of the clear coat by sliding a lubricated detailing clay bar over the surface of your paint. Its the first essential step in getting your car up to show standards.

i have noticed that after washing my car that the surface is rough i take it that this clay removes all the stuff stuck on the paint then??? sounds good might have to buy some and try it out

Not sure how much the clay is on it's own tbh, but i'd say that doesn't look to bad of a price really.
