3M Headlight Lens Restoration System

I bought this to use on my daughters car that I had just bought that had one new and one original head lamp after watching a guy on you tube demonstrate it, and he was doing it for a living out of Florida. It took me about 1/2 hour to to follow all the steps and get the head light looking like new. I think the secret to this product over others is that you use a sanding disk that actually removes the top layer of plastic and then you seal it with this compound. And it gives you enough disks to probably do 4 to 6 lights. I just used 1 disk of each sand paper provided for this one light. I've included photos showing the before and after. The one thing I would say however is don't forget some trim tape to put around the light, it's the only thing that's not included (well you need a drill too LOL) and you'll need it to put around your light so you won't damage your paint in case when using the sanding disk you bump the edge of the paint.

Expend like 1 hour each side, sanding by hand(hard parts) and drill (to smooth), really impressive results, with lights on u can see all dry plastic, micro cracks,etc, but for a car face lift for just $16, completely worth it. Be sure to sand till all 'shine' parts completely gone before goes to next step to improve results, u need sand and sand till headlight get SOLID WHITE, last 2 steps make it clear again, and then u ll say wooowwwww.

I was really Impressed with this product. I was kinda worried about the sanding and such but when you hook it up to your drill and just make passes with that it makes it verry easy. The instructions were verry accurate so I would recommend to just read them through every step before you do it. The longer you take on them the Better they will look.

Easy job to do with spectacular results. Headlights on my 9y old Accord look almost like new. I say almost because small deeper chirps still remain, but I can see them only from 1-2 feet distance. From 10ft I can't see them. I see noticable improvement during night driving. Just follow simple instructions and you'll be amazed with the result. It took me all together ~45min to do pair of headlights. All you need to have is a drill, masking tape, and a water bottle. If you are planning to use cordless drill, than pre-charge second battery. After I did my own car, I have done headlights on another 13y old car with equally good results. I don't think you can count on more than 2 pairs of headlights from the same kit, as 800-grit paper wears out quickly. You'll need a car wash after you are done.

Read loads of positive reviews, and indeed, this product works like a charm. i couple of things to keep in mind, you have to make your own judgement on how long to sand for, that's the only downside. I suggest sanding for about 5-8 minutes with each pad. Product is color coded which makes it easy to identify which sanding pads to use. Sanding can be dusty, depending on how yellow your lights are, but you should expect that since you are sanding with a power tool. Masking tape is NOT included, so make sure you get your own, you need, and don't try to avoid it, its a must if you want to keep your paint job. My lights now look new, and i mean new, and i get better visibility when driving at night now. This was money and 2 hours of my time well spent. see my before and after photo, you cant beat this.

This actually does work to get the clear headlights again!

This product was as good as advertised and I am extremely pleased with the results. I read the instructions once and reviewed the U-tube video to see what I should expect. The initial sanding process makes the lens look frosty, but just like in the video, that is what it is supposed to look like. It is a four step process and took about fifteen minutes to finish the first headlight. After seeing the results, I felt like a pro and knew what to do. Make sure you have everthing you need to complete the job per the instructions.

It worked as advertised. Results were fine, not perfect but worked well.

Both my headlights were yellowed pretty bad. I did the driver's side first and it came out 90% better. I then did the passenger side (3 times) and it came out about 80% better. There are several sanding discs in the package, but only one buffing disc, which is the third and last disc you use before the rubbing compound. It did NOT remove all the light scratches that were removed on the first lens. It does smooth out the lens and drastically improves visibility. It should come with more than one buffing disc.
