I have used the 3M Restore kit in the past with great results. This time I wanted to see what I could do without the kit. I wetsanded the assemblies on the bench. I started with 600, then 800, and then 1000. I found a small piece of 1200 so I went over them with it but not as much as I wanted. The 3M kit is mush faster because of the power tool involved.

Then I buffed them (polisher) with PlastX. Results were OK but not quite the 3M results. I rebuffed with Liquid Turtle Wax and now it was just as good as the 3M kit results.

Although these lights will look great on the car, on the bench in certain light you can still see some very very light scratching. I was reading some reviews and found this product called Blue Magic Headlight Lens Sealer. I picked up a bottle tonight at O'Riellys and gave it a try. I sprayed it on a rag and wiped the lens side to side very heavy. Then with a clean towel, I gently wiped it off. So far this product will get you back to as a new appearance as you can get. Tomorrow I plan to apply a few more coats.

If you have restored your lens recently, I would recommend trying this product. It will instantly improve the final results. Now to see how long it will last. If it needs reapplied later, it wouldn't take more than 5 minutes to complete.
