I just saw a commercial on tv for "Fast Brite headlight restoration kit" (I know I'm not to mention products not sold by AG but I don't think any members here are going to buy this). It is a polish and sponge and they must have said "in as little as 30 seconds" 10 times. Said it was a wipe on wipe off, showed a very discolored headlight and with one wipe of the sponge it looked brand new. I bet they are selling a million of these to people who just can't understand why it doesn't work. Also they said "why pay a detailer $100 when you can do it yourself in as little as 30 seconds". I thought it was funny, couldn't stop laughing.
 
I see that commercial all the time now, plus just the one for the scratch filling pen and believe it or not...seconds ago I saw a commerical for Nu Finish. Remember that one? Guy in the junkyard with the orange bottle of the miracle Nu Finish? My customers ask me about that headlight product all the time. I tell them that it's their money and they are free to spend it however they wish. I also tell them that they have my number when they want true and lasting results.
 
That's funny, I did a headlight restore for a guy that told me he just used that product. I guess he didn't like how it worked.. He was like "for 10 bucks what the he'll". Too funny
 
I've seen the scratch pen and Nu Finish but that was the first time I saw the Fast Brite. I just love all those too good to be true things and wonder just how many people believe them.
 
I saw a thread about that product somewhere recently (can't find it ATM). One poster said he worked (or used to work) for a company that sold products like this, and all they do for the commercial is put some toothpaste or hairspray or something like that on a headlight, so it looks hazy, and then they just wipe it right off. Remember the old saying, "If it sounds too good to be true..."
 
watched the video and the FaceBook comments are not from very happy customers
 
It's one of those things the company makes a fortune on from the uniformed. Then they close shop after all the complaints and come out with some other new miracle product.
 
My buddy told me about that commercial a few weeks ago and how it just wipes the headlights clean without polishing. Without seeing it myself, I told him it was just another B.S product that doesn't really work.

...What does he know, he takes his brand new Flex through automatic car washes even though the rear wiper was ripped off his old Explorer two times.
 
What I get a kick out of is the before and afters they show.. The afters are foggy!! Looks like crap.
 
just saw the commercial up here. Must be wax haze on a couple of those headlights b/c with one swipe it's gone!

i also have a lot of customer ask me about that commercial as well as you look at it there lights really not clean most of the light mostly clean i think it a quick gimme , i tell customer if they want to try it go for it
 
I lol every time I see any of the commercials that have been mentioned.
 
I see everyone talking about the product, but at the risk of getting flamed, has anyone actually tried it. I've not, seen the commercials, just wondered?
 
I'd rather spend the money on some meg's unigrit sandpaper which I know will work...

just read some of the comments from angry people who didn't know any better when they bought the product... it's sad but they know now...

:laughing: What a scam!
 
Foggy as #### still after he's done...not only that you can see the crap that came off on his towel IE Scam.

Good god I don't feel bad for the idiots that buy these.
 
I've been seeing these commercials for the past month. My gf just leans over to me every time and asks "How much do you charge for a headlight restoration again? Hell maybe I'll buy one and try it out...saves me from having to pay you"...obviously she's joking with me. But there are a lot of poor saps out there that will buy it.

It may only be $10 but I'm not going to throw my $10 away on a "miracle" product.
