Default Re: My Experience with the 3M Headlight Restoration Kit

I think LantanaTX meant the quality of the plastic, not the overall design. I've really been looking at the designs on different cars since I had mine replaced a year ago, and so far as I can tell, if it has a surface that points up-it will degrade over time, no matter the manufacturer. Volvos, Toyotas of Hondas, they all seem to get the crud at the top first if they aren't taken care of. Cleaning and waxing etc...

I had Xpel film installed on mine when they were replaced 12 months or so ago, and they still look like new. $35. I hope it wasn't another waste of cash but it can't hurt. Xpel says the film is UV resistant.

Hope so...

And in reference to the first paragraph-more and more headlight housings have more and larger exposed surfaces. In 2-3 years, we'll have a better idea as to quality comparisons.
