How can I restore my headlights?

I have a 55 reg Honda S2000, the headlight glass has over the years become very dull. I’ve tried a couple of products to restore the brightness but none has a lasting effect. Can you recommend a product that actually works? Replacement headlight units are very expensive.

We would recommend a product such as Holts Headlight Restoration Kit, which contains abrasive discs you can use with a drill but crucially also contains polish and sealant, which is an essential component to retain a good finish. Some restoration kits simply remove the damaged outer layer without protecting the new finish, which means the dull finish will inevitably return.
