Recently purchased a TT and i'm now addicted to your channel. Awesome vid as always!

found this video a week after i polished the headlights off my own mk1 tt. Used the same autoglym kit. Worked wonders. It was easy, fast, and incredibly effective.

Did this myself using the Autoglym headlight restoration kit. My TT’s nearside headlight was badly clouded after 21 years. It now looks brand new. Just take your time and you’ll end up with amazing results. Can’t rate this product enough! 👌🏼

Wife just got a pristine 2006 Audi TT Quattro convertible with 90k miles here in the US where we are. Headlights are cloudy though. Going to try this kit if we can find it over here. Great video, thanks!

It’s a very satisfying job bringing those dull lights back to life. Freshens up a tired roadster no end!

Followed this guide step-by-step and I now have shiny new headlights 🥰 Thanks Dom for your excellent tutorial and giving me the confidence to give it a go! 😎

Did this over the weekend and what a difference. Not perfect as found it hard to control the spin. Amazing difference though and may revisit ar a later date. Also, started the engine bay dress which transformed the look. Did lose two engine cover clips down below but got there - thanks fir great posts

Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Fantastic job Dom,inspired me to tackle my lights front and rear led lights 👍😁

Awesome job mate! I've been waiting for this one for a while 😅 definitely be giving this a try. Mine are in a terrible state 😬

Great vid! Going to try myself on my new mk1 project tomorrow!

MOT due so I was concerned about potential failure on beam pattern. A very useful video, thank you. I was pleasantly surprised by the results and the car looks much improved. I went in harder with a 250 grit wet n dry as the covers were badly clouded. Once the yellow residue went, I moved onto the restoration kit. I used a wide plastic insulation tape as I found masking tape not robust enough. Also opened the bonnet and used a dust sheet for protection. The polish sprays everywhere!!

Great job

Looks good and a big difference

Another great vid bud, great work look much better, I’m going to have a go on the mrs Lupo and then give mine a polish

Same stuff I used, make life easy doesn't it - that roadster is looking great!

Great video! I was actually searching just now for a headlight restoration kit online to do this to mine since one of them is getting quite bassed but was in doubt of which one to get. Ill give that one a try for sure. Looking foward for more videos to come :)

Keeping the bonnet shut is a must...I discovered when it was too late and I'd covered the engine and covers in polish compound....it dried and was a pain to clean up

Good job mate!

If you have an air compressor you can get sanding discs really clean. I used a kit like this for my daughters VW Beatle, definitely made a 90% improvement when driving at night, and looked way better in the day.

Mine aren't too bad but have little streaks at the top quite minimal really but I expect I ought to do it now as opposed to later on. Cheers Dom, always wondered how this kit would perform. Great vid mate. 👍🏻😊

I used gtechniq C4 on our car headlights as a sealant 2 years ago . They are still great , no yellowing returning.

I recently did my 03 one side just like you did took 20 minutes the other side by hand about 5 minutes both came out great ..couldn't tell the difference. Finished with a clear for headlights.

Awesome 🎉❤

I bought a 1.8 Quattro 180.. so much work to do it’s completely beyond me now after what’s been a really tough one year. What’s more depressing than that is nobody gives my darling car a look in when it comes to vids like this. It’s all fricking 225 and 3.2.

soo cool

On my TT I pulled the headlights out and sanded them with 600grit. It took time to get through the factory coating on the outer edges. Then I used a DuPont 2K clear that I had left over from painting my Escort Mk1. The lights look so opaque after 600grit, but the instant the 2K clear coat touches the plastic it pops clear. The plus side too modern 2k automotive clear is the UV stabilisation. I’m now one year later here in South Australia 🇦🇺 and it still looks perfect. Another plus is 2k clear can be Sanded and flow coated, and buffed an polished. 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀🍀🍀😎

Wet sanding will help keep the polycarbonate lenses from melting onto the abrasive paper and minimize the risk of crazing that can happen so easily. Acetone vapor is probably the coolest method of restoration once you’ve achieved the even frosted glass lookin finish. I'm gonna try it here in a couple days hopefully.

Those lenses look fantastic now Dom, brilliant job. I bought that kit for my own headlight units when i first got the car....it worked to a point but i had issues on inside too and bugs!!! in the end I swapped out light units for a new pair. I use a spray called Plexus plastic cleaner to protect against UV on mine now...but also have C4. I Would recommend that kit to everyone. And your video helps a lot more than the instruction booklet by the way👍

+1 for the bonnet shut. I did mine bonnet open, big mistake. Engine bay looks like it's got chickenpox!

Wow great result there dom they look like new i need to do mines there bad aswell. Get a 3 bar grille put in yours m8 looks nicer.

looks good Dom I still need to do this just deciding if to spray with uv lacquer after sanding or just polish

Hey Dom, thanks for sharing this. I got my '99 TT 225 coupe back in October 2023 and got the restoring kit and ceramic coat you recommend here. If the weather here in NL is nice this weekend, I'll take a shot at restoring the headlights, that are probably still untouched since '99 haha. The question I have is, can this also be done with the taillights? Is it worth it? I do have that "sticker" in the taillight that I've seen on other's TT, and I don't know what's it for. I was planning maybe on removing the stickers and give it a good restoration with this, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea or if it even would work, given the taillights are red and not clear as the headlights. Thanks again and keep up the amazing content coming! Cheers!

Love the wheels on your latest LAKE SILVER TT these are very RARE in the states.

Wow, I'm just about to get my Dads TT and I will need to do this. Your videos are really good. please keep them coming because I need all the help I can get.👍 I'm not sure if I can send any photos of mine via KZfaq.

I've used both the auto glym and holts kits and the auto glym wins hands down. The holts one was absolute garbage and the sand paper lost its grit within seconds and then the polish pad basically lost its velcro backing half way through. Those lights look spot on though pal fair play.

need to do mine now as payment for babysitting :-)

Decent 👌🏻

This is amazing, I am going to do mine. Can you do a video on clearing blocked drain tubes on the Roadster?

Belle vidéo 👌 😉.

Enjoy the videos! from Cali !!! Can u talk about all Generations TT’s ?

Sheeeeeeeeeeee that is fricken gorgeous

Wow great Vid Dom. Fancy doing ASBO's ? 😉

that 3m kit is the best

Wd40 or toothpaste does same job👍👍👍

Great guide Dom ! Noticed mine were getting hazy a few weeks ago .. gonna grab the same kit and have a go at mine 👍 You gonna use the same ceramic on the grill too? Do you have a link to it ?

I used the same kit on mine, came up a treat however I’ve discovered the inside of mine need done to really bring them up 😔

I just got my 02 mk1 1.8 tt 5 speed quattro "non 225". Previous owner let car sit for about 8 months in his garage , told me the battery is shot but it will jump start. Long story short , new battery i charged it as well , but still have to start it with a jump pack . I used a multi meter and car off it sits at 4.8v-5.2v with terminals connected.... if i disconnect the battery and check just the battery i can watch the voltage SLOWLY go up on multi-meter every few seconds the battery will show 4.8v ... 4.9v ... 5.0v .... 5.2v.... "you get it" lol . Are there any common issue's i should look for before i trace every ground wire known to man , i dont know if it makes a difference but after jump start still seems to have major voltage drop like if you roll a window down lights dim , had an alternator test done and done my own shop said its fine he didnt give me any voltage specs and my charger / jumpbox/ alt testor just shows its good my testor just gives me a check mark as in its good .

What is the name of the headlight restoration kit? And where did you buy it? Thanks. PS. I have a 2001 dark blue Quattro TT I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you!

Are the lights smoked; I.e., tinted ?

Always remember, with great beard comes great responsibility.

Copied your clip . Great job . It not bad . Not quite as good as yours, but thank you wouldn’t be able to do this without you. Cheers
