I have a Master on an 04 plate with fairly bad lights, and thought from
their appearance that I might have to use fine wet and dry to remove the
top affected layer.

But, having found out by trials on an area out of the light path that
I'd have to do it manually I thought I would try the £15 T-Cut "kit"
from the local car shop. This is a tube of fine abrasive, a bottle of
some sort of lacquer, and a microfibre cloth. I was surprised and
pleased to find that five minutes a side with the abrasive has bought
them up almost like new. (Havn't done the lacquer yet because of rain).

Stick some clingfilm on the newly cleaned light units.

when it gets shitty, just pull it off and add some new ...
