    It works! Restored headlights on two cars with this kit
    Got this in yesterday and went outside and worked on my wife's car and my son's car today. Had a 10 year old Honda Oydessy. Headlights were in bad shape, the plastic was very yellow and it was impacting function of the lamps with respect to visibility. This kit had everything needed and clear instructions. As I started to work on the Honda, I was hoping that I would have enought supplies to do the second car, and it turns out I did.The drill attachment and sandpaper is easy to use. You go through three separate rounds of sanding the lenses, with the last round being wet sanding. You'll need a spray bottle and water for this, it is not included. I found it also helpful to have some old rags and paper towels around to wipe off the lens as you check the sanding progress. As you go through sanding with the first and second grit of paper, it is easy to think that the product will not work, and your lenses will just have to be replaced. But keep following the instructions and it will turn out ok. Note that the instructions say that sanding at each level is key. Don't try to shortcut it. Spend enough time sanding each round before moving forward.The final step for the kit is to use essentially a wet wipe that has a clearcoat protectant that finishes it off. The instructions tell you to take it out of its sealed package and to not unfold it. I was concerned that this might not stay fresh and able to do a second car, but I put the wipe back in its pouch and sealed it up in a ziploc bag until I got to the second car. It still had enought clearcoat in it for the second car, but I don't think it would last for long in between vehicles. And, I think the kit is really designed for one car, so be forewarned.Using this kit on the honda oydessy was very easy by following the instructions. Results were fantastic. Using this pm my son's nissan murano was a bit harder and those lenses have some bumps/curves on them that makes the sanding process harder.All in all, if you've got a drill, some time, and can follow instructions, this kit works and it did a great job on our cars.Before and after pics are attached, but the “after”photos really don't do it justice. The end result was great. On the pics, the top row is before, and the bottom row is after.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good Product BUT missing a critical step
    Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2016
    After experimenting on my headlights, which this kit was used on my Porsche Cayenne (lights had light/med swirls and very, very slight haze), I wasn't impressed with the end result. I still had the swirl marks in the lights. I found though trial that I really shouldn't have used the 500 grit paper to start because I didn't have very bad hazing or swirls. So with that being said, I also found out that going from the supplied 800 grit to the 3000 grit pads was not giving the lights finished product, something that I was happy with. So I backed up a step and went and purchased some 1500 grit sand paper and went over the light carefully, followed up with the 3000 grit pad. I found that the swirls that the 800 grit was leaving was just too much for the 3000 to handle, but the combination between 1500 and 3000 did the trick. I also purchased rubbing/polishing compound made for plastic in lieu of using the supplied polishing compound. The end result was fabulous. Please purchase a mid way grit paper between the 800 and 3000 and you should be happy with your end result. Each of the lights took about 30 minutes and I finished up the entire process with an optical cutting grade polish to remove any fine scratched, then applied a high quality wax. Pictures are final end result.
