My '05 had a pretty nasty case of lens fog. The top half of the driver side was opaque. I don't own any power tools. Plus, I'm not confident with the whole circular buffer deal.

The Blue Magic worked.

The really degraded area required maybe ten treatments, but it was easy. I'd give it a B, maybe B+ for results. Cheap, fast, easy, and the headlights went from "What the HELL?", to " No one but Felix Ungar would give that a second glance."

 

Thanks for the review. Good info to know. I am having my driverside headlight replaced by the dealer.

 

where to buy? how much?

 

Auto Zone. Eight bucks.

 

The best product I've used is the stuff made by this company, hands down. The Blue Magic and 3M didn't do that much

I did it on both headlights and it made a night/day difference. $20 at your local AAP.

 

I just got some of the Blue Magic (before I had read this thread). I went into the store looking for Plast-X and they were out but I was directed towards this...I've probably done about 4 applications so far and...nuh...the lens is no doubt clearer but the nastier areas look even worse by comparison!
I guess I'll keep working away at it!
I've attached a couple pics here (because I haven't figured out how to insert!)

 

Boy, that looks like a wet-sand and polish routine to me...

 

I agree with Max, only a wet sand is gonna make those babies look like new!
And, frankly, it's not too tough to do, just time consuming. Take your time, work your way up in grit (finish w/ 2000 or 2500, if you can find some) & then use your Blue Magic. You'll be surprised.

 

My 2006 headlamp covers were much worse than those pictures. Some of the plastic on the top looked like it was peeling off. I watched some you tube videos on how to..went to Auto Zone and purchased a $30 kit + 400, 1000 and 2000 wet dry. I had to put the sand paper on an orbital sanderand used the 400 untill all the scratches and pitts were gone - went to the 1000 paper and got rid of the deep sanding marks - 2000 paper made the covers totally opaque - then just brushed it up with a 3000 paper that came in the kit. THe kit also had a cloth buffing pad on a drill shaft and just a couple of drops of the polishing compound made those puppies look like new.

 

If you don't remove the Headlight, tape the area around the light. I always think I can save time by not doing this but it will save more than just time if you tape up first.
