  • Fast, easy, and as permanent as possible clarity
BACKGROUND: I'm working on a 2002 Toyota Echo, original headlamps (never really restored) with the original UV shield "intact" (albeit useless). It's been sitting in the California sun its entire life, so you can imagine the state these headlights are in! As with most modern vehicles, my headlight lenses are made of plastic, not glass. Plastic discolors and hazes over due to many effects, although the most common one is simple oxidation. Oxidation is catalyzed (made to happen more frequently) by the presence of UV sunlight. Hence, all headlights made of plastic also ship from the factory with a baked-in UV protectant layer. I'd previously tried a combination polisher/sealant from Turtle Wax. However, while that made the lamps moderately more "clear", the haze returned less than 24 hours later. As a result, I can't recommend a chemical-based (deoxidizing) or polish-only solution to this problem. Enter 3M. USE: Summary: Very easy to use, and instructions included are very explicit. Essentially, this has you sand off and out any minor imperfections and (importantly) the factory-installed UV shield from your existing lens (the UV shielding is no longer effective, which is why you have hazy yellow lenses now ...). First, start with clean lenses. Bug guts and dust are just going to clog up those 500-grit sandpaper disks. Easier to wash them off than sand them off. Before doing anything else, of course you need to protect the paint around your lights (in my case, I opened the hood to get that out of the way, and used two layers of blue painter's masking tape to cover the paint and bumper adjacent to the other two sides of the lens. Note that you are not protecting the paint from chemicals, but rather from abrasion. As a result, you want tap which will stand up to sand paper, not necessarily super waterproof tape. Simple masking tape works just find for this purpose, and comes off cleanly. Once that setup is complete, you start with a 500-grit sandpaper, then progress to 800-grit, then 3000-grit foam. At that stage, if you rinse the lens off with water you will see fairly clear lenses again, but you are not done yet. Next, apply rubbing compound to polish out the last micro scratches left by the 300 grit sandpaper, rinse, and buff. Importantly, while this kit includes plenty of rubbing compound, it does not contain any sealant. Sealing the lenses keeps them from oxidizing in the sun, and ensures that the clarity you've just worked hard at attaining lasts more than a few weeks! I used a bottle of Blue Magic Sealer (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051PJWQW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00) for this purpose. Just a couple of sprays on the lens, then wipe across and let dry. Once dry, a little buffing removed any final inconsistencies. For me, I started off using my hand driver instead of plug-in drill. This hits the bottom range of suggested RPMs. However, I found that the sanding process would often end with the driver veering out of control (not a major issue; just take finger off the trigger, re-steady, and go again). Eventually I switched from that driver to my full plug-in drill (hits the high end of RPMs); this was MUCH easier at the higher range of rotations. So, I'd strongly advise using a drill with the highest RPM rating possible here. RESULTS: Amazingly clear headlight lenses! In about an hour of work (probably took longer than it would have otherwise but I wanted to make sure I didn't skip any of the steps), I went from almost-opaque "lenses" that let through depressingly little light to super-clear lenses letting out clear and bright beams of light. Results look amazing, and as an added bonus are much safer for you (brighter illumination from your headlights) and other drivers (less refracted glare). ANY SUGGESTIONS? The core of this is some very expensive sandpaper, and two non-consumables (the drill attachment and a foam polishing pad). Sandpaper can be gotten much cheaper, albeit without the "velcro" backing; look for "wet-dry" sandpaper in the 400-500 grit range for "cutting", the 800-1000 grit range for smoothing, and in the 3000+ grit range for initial polishing. The main trick then is cutting to size/shape and attaching to the drill attachment. RECOMMEND? Absolutely. Tomorrow I'll be doing the same to my wife's 2004 GMC van. I will be trying the replacement-sandpaper approach there for the 800 grit at least. ... show more

  • Great product for restoring headlights, but be careful with the sanding!
I bought this kit to restore the headlights on my old car, and I was very impressed with the results. The kit comes with everything you need: sanding discs, polishing pad, compound, and a drill attachment. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the process takes about 35 minutes per headlight. The most important thing to do before you start is to prepare your vehicle by taping off the areas around the headlights that could get damaged by the sanding. I used painter’s tape and some old newspapers to cover the hood, bumper, and fenders. This will prevent scratches and scuffs on your paint job, and make the cleanup easier. The sanding part is the most tedious and messy, but also the most effective. You have to use four different grits of sandpaper, starting from the coarsest to the finest, and wet-sand the headlights until they are smooth and clear. You have to be careful not to apply too much pressure, or you could damage the plastic. You also have to rinse the headlights and the sanding discs frequently to remove the dust and debris. The polishing part is the easiest and most satisfying. You just have to apply some compound to the pad, attach it to your drill, and buff the headlights until they shine. The compound works like magic, and removes any haze or swirl marks left by the sanding. You can see the difference right away, and the headlights look like new. Add a coat of clearcoat spray to maintain the clarity for longer. I am very happy with this product, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to restore their headlights. It is a simple and affordable way to improve the appearance and safety of your vehicle. Just make sure you prepare your vehicle well before you start, and follow the instructions carefully. You will be amazed by the results! ... show more
