As many do, I bought this to "restore" the headlights on my car. The kit says it's good for "oxidation, fading, and sun damage." If your headlights are cloudy or dim, it's not because of oxidation, fading, or sun damage. Look at your tail lights. They're not milky or dim, are they? No! And they endure the same weather and sun as the headlights. So why are the headlights milky and dim? The answer is that as you drive, every bit of dust and dirt in the air essentially sand-blasts your headlights. Each speck of dust or bit of dirt causes a micro-scratch only maybe a thousandth-of-an-inch thick. And then dirt gets into those scratches. It's these scratches and the dirt in them that makes your headlights cloudy and dim, not oxidation or sun damage. The cure is not in any wipe-on chemical. No. The cure is in a 2000-grit polishing pad that is included in this kit... and in a generous helping of elbow grease that is NOT included with the kit. My headlights were cloudy and dim with 12-years and 156,000-miles of micro-scratches. With about 30-minutes of elbow grease, about 15 minutes per light, I was able polish off maybe a thousandth-of-an-inch of the surface of my headlights and, with it, those scratches and the dirt embedded in them. I literally felt the surface becoming smooth as I polished. At the end of 30 minutes of polishing, my arms were worn out and so was the polishing pad... but my headlights looked good. Next step: apply the "Miracle" Wipe New solution. This is where the kit as I received differs from the pictures and description. The description says that the miracle Wipe New solution comes on a per-moistened wipe. Apparently, there's been a change. The solution now comes in a small bottle which is only about half-full. A small terry-cloth towel is included in the kit with which to apply the solution. The instructions caution that the solution can damage automotive paint finishes, so I applied masking tape around my headlights as a precaution; it wasn't necessary, but I think it's a good precaution. The instructions also caution against getting the solution on your skin, so I used the included gloves and also put on some safety glasses as a sensible precaution. I put maybe a teaspoon of the solution onto the cloth and wiped it onto my newly-polished headlights. Wow! It really added the final-touch sparkle to my headlights. (While only half-full, the bottle does contain enough solution to do at least eight or ten pairs of headlights. And 2000-grit polishing pads can be purchased wherever automotive finishing products are sold such as most major auto parts stores.) I think that I got an 85+% restoration of my headlights. They really do look very good... and it's amazing how much better my car looks overall because of that. Those sparkling headlights make the whole car look great. I recommend this kit for the restoration of cloudy, dim headlights. It really works. So, why am I not giving five stars? Because the description promises a very simple process, just wipe the miracle solution on and, in a few seconds, all but effortlessly your headlights will sparkle like new. That's not exactly true and, if the people who wrote the advertising would just read the product's instructions, they would know that it's not true. The product delivers the advertised result, but the advertising is very exaggerated about the process and effort required. As I said, I do recommend this kit because it produced good results for me... just be aware that to use this kit you will face perhaps 30 minutes of polishing work and a 45-minute overall project. When you are done, the results will be quite good.
