    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.

    I had tried replacement headlight housings but was not happy with the quality and returned them. The originals are made in USA but even the GM/Delco (expensive) are made in China so did not have a lot of confidence in them either. 2006 Silverado

    I had tried restoring headlights previously using wet and dry sandpaper and did not have great results, but this kit with the 3 grades and using a drill worked really well. Headlights now look new.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2017

    I bought this kit a few months ago to restore my 2004 Acura TL headlights. After an impromptu discussion last week with a co-worker about heavily oxidized headlights that look like crap, i invited him over to have a restoration party this last weekend. His 2005 Toyota Tercel was in worse shape than mine from the brutal New Mexico sun. This was just the impetus I needed to get this thing done, finally.
    I'm kicking myself for not getting before shots. Mine looked bad, but his looked terrible. We started in on it and did our cars in parallel. The masking was the worst part, but it's bearable with some beer and/or scotch. We had both, fortunately. The rest of it was pretty easy and straight forward, and the results were incredible. My headlights look like new, and his look better than new. And there is still enough material for a third car, so I gave it to my dad, who has an '07 TL.
    Tips: mask well, and go a little wider than the tape that is provided. Do an extra strip beyond the first mask, just in case.
    Take your time with the stages, and don't push too hard. Let pad do the work.
    If you have an air compressor, use that to blow off the dust from the light and also off the sanding pad. That will extend the life of the pad.
    A corded drill seemed to work better. I gave up on my cordless after a while because of the variation in the voltage after extended use.
    In summary, this kit worked perfectly, was easy to use, and is only $20. Plus, I got 3 cars out of mine. I tried another kit in the past and was pretty disappointed with the results. Especially after using this one. As a chemical engineer, I can attest to the fact that this is the way to remove the oxidation. The other kit was plausible in theory, but not in practice. Just remember to keep your lights sealed well after restoring them!

    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.
