Default Re: Final word on headlight restoration please!

Thanks guys for your advice. I returned the Turtle Wax Product and ended up with the 3M. These worn out spare headlights will look better than the ones in my car! And the ones in my car look fine. I did one tonight. Working on the assy on the bench was a pain, but no leaning over. I am absolutley satisfied with the results of the 3M kit. I plan to get the Plastx and buff a couple coats on them once installed on the car. Thanks again guys!


First Step ^

At this point, I realized it would take more than the first grit pad to get the job finished. So I hand sanded the rest of the lens with a Scotch Brite Pad. Worked very effective, then finished off the first step with appropriate pad.

Sand until the entire surface is the same color/finish.



The lens is nearly invisible. The lights are white, but the camera shows them as blue .
