3M Ultra Headlight Restoration Kit, Contains Masking Tape, Light Sanding Discs, Wax Protectant and More, Use on Plastic Lenses Headlights, Taillights and More, Easy Heavy-Duty Restoration (39195)

I have not tried every restoration system out there, so I cannot state that this is the best system, but I can tell you that this is a solid solution that you will be happy with. To level set, no restoration kit will ever restore your headlight lenses to factory new condition. But this one gets them close. For the same reasons, I cannot state that this kit is the best value, but I can say that anything that works well at any price is a better value than something that does not work well at a lower price. One of the chief complaints of headlight restoration kits is that the restoration does not last. That's because most of the kits out there attempt to "fill in" the scratches, and eventually that filler washes out, disintegrates, or whatever. This kit actually polishes the plastic to *remove* the scratches. As such, the process takes longer and is more fiddly. The extra effort though results in a better looking and longer lasting result. I bought this kit 2 years ago, and my headlights look as good as the day I finished using the kit. The results you will get will depend on your patience and your willingness to understand and follow the instructions exactly. Read the directions carefully, do exactly what they say, for as long as they say. I spent - if I recall - about 45 minutes on each headlight. - Your headlights will look much worse initially, and you may think you are doing more harm than good. Don't be paranoid. Complete the course, finish all the steps. Once you get through the first two grits, each step after that will look better and better. - The instructions will warn you to avoid lingering in one spot with the power drill. That warning worried me, but it's really easy to avoid, and you can tell when you're doing it right. Be gentle, don't push too hard, and keep moving. - It may also look like they haven't given you enough of the different polishing pads, but my headlights are huge and I had extras. - Mask carefully, because you will run off the edge of the headlights and you don't want to scratch your paint. If you wear down the masking tape, stop and apply more. - When it comes time to wipe on the polymer, again, do it exactly as they tell you. Exactly. You only get just enough to get it done and you only get one shot to make it look right. Make sure you are fully prepped before tearing open the packet. - Do this in a garage or in the shade. Anyway, that's my advice. You won't be disappointed with this kit.

For the price, quality of materials and outcome, I can't recommend enough. My headlights weren't terrible, but we're showing age. Ended up looking brand new in about 40 minutes. I must admit that I was a little worried about half way through, but as soon as I started wet sanding with 3000 grit, I knew it was going to end up looking great. Read the instructions, don't rush and buy with confidence.

Time consuming but worth the effort, both headlights came out clear and looked great, if you have about 2 hours for each headlight this product works!

This kit worked really well and brought my headlights back to life. The instructions were easy to follow, and I’m happy with the results. My only suggestion would be to include a thicker masking tape. The tape that’s included is a bit thin, so if you’re not careful, the sandpaper can accidentally touch and scratch your car’s paint around the headlights. Using a thicker tape would provide better protection and make the process even safer. Overall, it’s a great product, and I would definitely recommend it.

I purchased this to try out on a 15 y.o. Lexus RX350 with heavy yellowing and matting on the plastic headlight lenses. It took me some a little time to figure out the best sanding technique using my drill as the disk kept sliding around the bulding part of the lens. That said, the final result was AMAZING. The clarity is literally like new. If you're on the fence, do yourself a favor, and give this a try. DO read the instructions. Every word. I took a few extra passes using the coarse abrasive and wish that I used that time instead on the second abrasive instead (as the instructions suggested, lol). In essense, it's a 4-step process: 1. use a coarses disk to get rid of the yellowing/resurface the lens, 2. use a finer disk to work out the coarse scratches from step 1, 3. use a wet disk to polish off the finer scratches left from step 2., and 4. apply a refinishing product (via a wipe) to give it the glossy shine. One tip on step 4 - avoid doing it in the sun or a hot day and go slowly, as the manual recommends. The same wipe covers two headlight no problem, so you don't need to rush or worry about having enough product - THERE IS ENOUGH. The manufacturer suggests overlapping the wipe applications by 25-50% I believe. Do that. I tried going back and touching up a few spots that didn't get as much product (I probably didn't apply the same pressure throughout the entire lens) and the product had already partically dried. This created some brush strokes on the lens, which wasn't that bad. Had I not done that and waited until the first application dried completely, I wouldn've achieved absolute perfection! FYI, the product comes with 2 wipes that you use in step 4. You apply the second applicaiton after the first one fully dries. Again, read the instructions, take your time and you'll be pleased with the end result.

This headlight kit makes them look brand new. takes a little bit of work for perfection but doable for the average person. The delivery was bad in my experience though. Both times I ordered this the box was smashed but it's contents all still work great.

I've seen so many videos about using this that or the other thing for restoring headlights, WD-40 toothpaste and the sanding with many grits followed by clear coat. Everyone saying this is the way to do it and comments saying that it doesn't work or doesn't last. Just exhausting. I saw this and decided to try it. My yellowed headlights (4 total) on my Mercedes look brand new by just following the directions to the letter. And I had enough pads left over to do a neighbor's 2 headlights. It came with everything needed to do it right using only a drill instead of by hand which many of the videos that looked the best did. $15 for everything was CHEAP. It worked for me....

My headlights were a disaster and I was dubious that this would fix them, but before shelling out hundreds for new housings and taking the front end apart to install them, I figured I might as well try this first. Holy cow what a difference! It took maybe 10 minutes per headlight and they look like new again.

Die gute Nachricht ist, es funktioniert. Insbesondere das Coating korrigiert die letzten Fehler, die im Scheinwerferglas noch sichtbar sind. Um genauer zu arbeiten, wäre gerade es bei einem größeren Scheinwerfer sinnvoll, wenn man mit den Schleifpads nicht so knauserig wäre. Schließlich kostet das Set dann doch einiges an Geld, aber zwei Pads pro Arbeitsgang mehr wären schon eine Beruhigung. Dazu halte ich ein Polierpad und eine Headlight Politur für sinnvoll, wenn es richtig gut werden soll. Mit den beiden Coating Tüchern kann man auch die Rückleuchten behandeln. Die Menge reicht dafür aus. Es macht also Sinn, die Rückleuchten vorab zu reinigen, bevor man mit dem Coating anfängt. Der beiliegende Gummihandschuh ist eine gute Idee und auch notewndig, zwei wären besser. Meine Empfehlung: Alle Arbeitsgänge naßschleifen.

Je n aurait pas cru à un résultat si parfait. Super facile à utiliser C était pour une polo 5, qui vient de passer le contrôle technique

Restaurei os faróis do carro que estavam amarelados seguindo o uso do Kit que vem com as lixas necessária para chegar até o polimento que restaura. Produto que passa ao finalizar dá o acabamento perfeito.

Took me a long time but the end result is amazing

Restauran los faros a muy buen nivel. Use solo un disco de 500, 800 y 3000. En todas di tres a cuatro pulidas.
