I used the 3M Headlight Restoration Kit took me about one hour.

Please let me know what you guys think.
Also I would like to seal the Headlights but not sure what to use can someone recommend a decent product to be used with the 3M Kit ?

Please leave me your comments they are important Feed back please
Thank you
Louie
 
Absolutely fantastic job! Ultima Paint Guard Plus comes to mind for a good sealant. If you want something more permanent I would suggest Opti-Coat. If you buy the Opti-Coat you will have enough to coat your paint as well.

BTW - That engine bay looks pretty clean too!
 
Hi, Louie:

Great choice to go with 3M. I just want to mention that if you check the prices of replacement headlights, you may find that the cost makes them a better choice than restoration if they are real badly faded. Not saying it with your current project, but I would keep that in mind.

I Will Definitely keep that in mind what I did was to check the plastic on them first after cleaning them making sure they were thick and strong before sanding, I bought this SUV about 4 years ago and it has 68,000 Original Miles on it was owned by an elderly couple, want to keep it in the best shape possible thanks for your comment:props:

Thank you Catfish, I looked at different kits but the 3M kit was my best choice and let me tell you it really worked well, not too mention the headlights are super smooth and they are still thick in the plastic, gonna tackle a few more customers this week with pretty bad headlights worse then mine will post here to show results using the 3M kit
