ive got lots of scratches in my headlight. just wondering if these can be corrected like you can with paint. they realy let the car down and dont dare guess how much a new pair would costhttp://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg483/gwexhausts/20120512_201700.jpg

Yes but you do need a machine poiisher also some pads compound have a look on -bay I think if you look under windscreens marks damage you should be ok.

On my R they are glass. It's a special compound you use for glass is not paint polish

I have a feeling they won't tell you much this isn't something they do, or at least they never

I must get mine done but will get the stuff from the factors.
Polish wont take out any indentations in the glass though which it will have.
