Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm one of those nerds who details cars as a hobby, and I've quite possibly used every headlight restoration kit on the market as well as some home-made concoctions. Like other reviewers have mentioned, there is no magic to this or any product on the market. Your success depends solely on your endurance and ability to sand a microscopic layer off of your headlight housing. If you're not spending a minimum of 30-45 minutes continuously sanding each headlight, then there is absolutely no way you will be satisfied with the results. Don't be lazy and put your back in to it! Be sure to keep the surface of the headlight housing wet at all times by constantly spraying water as you sand; alternating between the green and grey sides of the provided sanding pad. Apply a strong amount of pressure as you sand. Don't worry, you will not hurt the headlights. When you think you've done enough, keep sanding and sanding! I gave this product a 4 star rating because although, it's one of the few that provides you with the correct grit sanding pads, it would have been nice if the pad itself was larger or at least 2 sets of pads were provided with each kit. By the end of your sanding adventures, you should have obliterated these sanding pads. If the pads are not completely useless by the time you're done, then you didn't do a good enough job! I keep stressing the importance of sanding because in some cases, I find myself not needing to use the proprietary wipe-new chemical at all. I do this mainly because once you've applied the chemical, the headlights cannot be exposed to moisture in any way for a minimum of 24hrs. Even if morning mist or dew gets on them while curing, it will create little bumps and imperfections. You will definitely need to plan ahead if you are unable to keep the vehicle parked in a garage or covered during the curing stage. I sometimes just drape a garbage bag over the headlights and tape it down to the body of the car using masking tape. I know this is getting kind of long winded so I'll end it with these tips: 1) Keep wet sanding until you don't see any yellow discoloration in the water. 2) Apply a strong amount of pressure as you sand. If done correctly, the pad will glide smoothly across the surface, even with strong pressure applied. 3) Keep spraying water on the headlights as you sand or if you feel like it, just sand in the rain. 4) If you chose to apply the final chemical step, be sure to just make one pass in one direction. Going over the same spot twice will leave bumps. 5) Sand all of your headlights first before deciding to apply the wipe-new chemical. Don't try to do it in stages. Good Luck and thanks for stopping by!
