I've used headlamp restorer and it works miracle except it was the original one from 3M. But for the price, this is well worth the try.

I recommend covering the metal around the plastic headlight with blue painters tape first so you don't scratch the paint by mistake if the drill slips.

Also seen this work with toothpaste or softscrub, don't use anything abrasive like sandpaper as the plastic will scratch.

Newer cars the headlamp assembly is all glass and not plastic, so this won't work on those.

just wanted to say that i received the kit last week, just in time for some
labor day weekend work- i should have taken a "before" picture, but my passagerside head lamp was horrible! yellow and foggy-
i just cant believe the job this kit did. saved me some money.!!

i used the kit on 2 cars and 1 atv quad, and i cannot be more impressed!
well worth the $8 paid for the kit, probably the best $8 i've spent in the last 10 years!

I agree with 9aj9

$8 hot deal
$13 Deal
$18 for the 3m branded one at Walmart -> Still much cheaper than hitting something because your lights suck

Just do it, the difference it makes is huge.

Wish I'd caught this at the $8 price. While I was looking about, 'noticed Turtle Wax has a manual (non-drill) package that folks are quite enthusiastic about on Amazon. $8, there, with free s/h if your purchase reaches $25.

All these kits are essentially the same. I used a 3M kit with the Trizac disc last summer on my Focus, and this summer I used the Harbor Freight kit on my friends Golf. Results were good.

But at the same time, a lot of places charge $50-60 bucks to just wetsand, rub and polish your headlights with the same result. The advantage to the kits is you use a drill and don't need a buffer.

...but if you have a buffing tool, you can save money just picking up a few sheets of 2000 grit wet sandpaper from homo depot for literally 2 dollars and some good rubbing compound for a few more dollars, giving you materials to do multiple cars for less than the cost of one kit

It seems that most people missed my post. This same thing is achievable (or done better) by using wet sandpaper and a good rubbing compound. You're looking at a ~$6-7 investment found at damn near any store.

There was some scratching and hazing on the outside and u can feel the lens go from smooth to somewhat rough. It might be that the lens damage is just too deep to simply sand off easily and will require a high grade sand paper and some work. I will take some pictures in a day or so and post so you can give feedback.
