    Depends on the quality of the elbow grease. Actually I would have thought
    you needed something a little more coarse than brasso for glass. Brasso
    works well for plastic lamp lenses.

    Hi Chris, what model of car headlight are you trying to clean up, it may be
    easier in the long run to keep an eye on e-bay for a replacement, I found
    one for £2 for a 300tdi Discovery a year or so back.

  9. What about a breakers. I think there are a some near Addlestone, otherwise
    there is one in Sunbury On the road from Chertsey Bridge about a mile after
    you cross the roundabout for Walton Bridge with the garage on the corner.
    It is on the left not far after the Holiday Inn that used to be the
    Shepperton Moathouse.

  12. Actually there are several sites that "search" breakers yards. I used one
    a couple of years ago for a bit for the 406 and had several contacts back
    who had what I wanted. I was quite impressed.
