Before and after.

They work pretty good if you've got patience. Just make sure you hit those with some type of UV protectant now or they will yellow again. I put several coats of wax on and they've stayed clear for a couple years now but its time to polish them again. Maybe a sealant would be better or a dedicated headlight UV product.

That kit is really nice. Sylvania makes a really nice one as well. I just go on the cheap. Wet Sand then polish them out via DA and put a coat of sealant on them. Cheaper and easier then buying a kit.
I have used several and no matter what it says as length of time if your wet sanding it takes time. I did two sets of headlights and 1 set of fog lights in about 2 hours without a kit. My only gripe with kits is that they give you just enough to do one set of lights. So I quit the kits for now until one comes a long that blows me away.

make sure to consistently protect your hard work. Perhaps a coating would help.

I have the full meguiar's kit and use it at least once a week. And I agree Opto lens coat is perfect for finishing up headlights.

Buying a kit is unnecessary IMO.


All you need is:


Wet sand paper
DA/Rotary
Compound
Polish
Sealant


(For the most part)

Thanks guys. I also put a coat of blue magic sealant. Ill see how long they last.

You got some good results. I have used this kit as well and it worked good. The only downside is that the lights eventually turned yellow again. Keep us updated on how the sealant works out for you.
