I was watching UFC Unleashed and saw a commercial for an "as-seen-on-TV" kind of product called Fast Brite. Says you just apply and wipe off and your headlights will look brand new. I've tried other headlight restoring products that really didn't live up to their hype. How could this possibly work? Anyone try it? If not I guess ill be the guinea pig and order some.

 

I just can't see good results without some effort involved. Sounds too easy to be true...

 

My thoughts exactly. I saw that walmart sells it as well. So I'm thinking ill get it there so that I can return it when it doesn't work.

 

I bought a similar product as the first attempt on my headlight restoration : "Blue Magic Headlight Lens Restorer". TOTAL JUNK.

try #2 was another product from AutoZone that had a spinny pad thingey, was so disgusted I threw the whole thing away, so I don't know the product name.

try 3 : Meguier's Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration Kit : TOTAL SUCCESS !!! Highly recommended.
This and the top end 3M kit are similar, both contain different grades of sandpaper, polishing compound,
and a UV protectant.

FINAL STEP - when you get them all sparkly again, put some headlight protector films on them.
There are a couple of versions of these also, no particular recommendation.

 

The fast-brite is junk!!! i tried it when it first came out. Needless to say; I would have been better off giving my money away to my favorite charity. Sanding the lens is the ultimate repair. Of course, you need to put some type of protectant on them afterwards. Hopefully something that has UV protection. Or just get the headlight covers. I know that Luminex has the clear protective covers for around $45. Good luck with your lights!

 

I used the 3M kit and they are nearly perfect. Almost a year later, still good. If I have to do it again, I am going to install these afterward:

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

 

1+

I also use the 3m and lens look new , very satisfied with results..

 

My Brother does this as part of his company and he puts a clear epoxy on them after he sands and polishes them.

 

Have you tried the product yet? Curious. Get some before and after shots please.

 

I picked up a bottle. Waiting on a decent day that I won't freeze testing it out.
