Ultra Headlight Restoration Kit, Contains Masking Tape, Light Sanding Discs, Wax Protectant and More, Use on Plastic Lenses Headlights, Taillights and More, Easy Heavy-Duty Restoration (39195)

My 13 year old truck had terrible looking headlights. They were only slightly yellow, but were so cloudy that you could no longer see inside the headlight. I saw a review on the YouTube channel Project Farm rating this as a good buy and decided to give it a try. It was not difficult to work through the steps (especially after watching a tutorial video online) but it did take me a bit longer than the 40 minutes stated on the box. But, it did a great job and it looks great! The finish is almost like new and I didn't need to purchase new headlight fixtures! I'd recommend this to anyone and I'd happily purchase this again. I have a minivan that's not looking bad yet, but when needed, I'll use this 3M product to restore those headlights, too.

When checking the oil in my daughter’s, 06 trailblazer I noticed her headlights were so yellow. She probably was getting maybe a quarter of the light coming out of it. Bought this kit thought it’s gotta help. Damn is all I can say now no no they’re not new but Man so clean and clear. They are almost like new now. Vision is gonna be amazing at night. For $22 can’t beat the price. Amazing works good. Doesn’t take long to do either using my Makita.

I have not tried every restoration system out there, so I cannot state that this is the best system, but I can tell you that this is a solid solution that you will be happy with. To level set, no restoration kit will ever restore your headlight lenses to factory new condition. But this one gets them close. For the same reasons, I cannot state that this kit is the best value, but I can say that anything that works well at any price is a better value than something that does not work well at a lower price. One of the chief complaints of headlight restoration kits is that the restoration does not last. That's because most of the kits out there attempt to "fill in" the scratches, and eventually that filler washes out, disintegrates, or whatever. This kit actually polishes the plastic to *remove* the scratches. As such, the process takes longer and is more fiddly. The extra effort though results in a better looking and longer lasting result. I bought this kit 2 years ago, and my headlights look as good as the day I finished using the kit. The results you will get will depend on your patience and your willingness to understand and follow the instructions exactly. Read the directions carefully, do exactly what they say, for as long as they say. I spent - if I recall - about 45 minutes on each headlight. - Your headlights will look much worse initially, and you may think you are doing more harm than good. Don't be paranoid. Complete the course, finish all the steps. Once you get through the first two grits, each step after that will look better and better. - The instructions will warn you to avoid lingering in one spot with the power drill. That warning worried me, but it's really easy to avoid, and you can tell when you're doing it right. Be gentle, don't push too hard, and keep moving. - It may also look like they haven't given you enough of the different polishing pads, but my headlights are huge and I had extras. - Mask carefully, because you will run off the edge of the headlights and you don't want to scratch your paint. If you wear down the masking tape, stop and apply more. - When it comes time to wipe on the polymer, again, do it exactly as they tell you. Exactly. You only get just enough to get it done and you only get one shot to make it look right. Make sure you are fully prepped before tearing open the packet. - Do this in a garage or in the shade. Anyway, that's my advice. You won't be disappointed with this kit.

Overall I don't think you're going to beat this for the price so if you have a drill, you're willing to put in effort, and you don't want to spend money compared to other options then this is the best way to go. I would say if you're going to use this make sure you have a really good drill. My cordless drill ended up getting heat soaked in the sun so I got out the 50-ft extension cord and used my corded one and it made a world of difference, keep in mind my cordless is 15 years old and works well inside but that heat got to it. Be patient throughout the entire process and especially when applying the clear do not put pressure on those little applicator rags that they provide, and let it dry well before applying the second coat because applying the second coat messed me up it said wait 15 minutes I did it was a hot sunny day but I feel like I should have waited longer because it didn't glide as well as the first coat. If I were to do it again I would definitely follow these sanding steps but buy a can of 2K clear and mask everything well because I think that would give me the best results, but if you're looking to save money and get decent results you're not going to beat this. Do not rush the sanding process and you have an overall good result.

We cracked this kit open during a slow afternoon between sessions. Instructions are simple, the sanding discs bite fast, and when you follow all the steps the lenses come out clear and sharp. You do have to put in some elbow grease, this isn’t a two minute hack, but it’s straightforward. The tape sticks well so we didn’t chew up any paint. The wax at the end goes on smooth, no weird haze. One of my coaches drove off that night and texted me that his “new” headlights made the dark lot feel way safer adn brighter. I was glad i grabbed this for the break room.

Worked perfectly. The lights on two of our older cars (2007 and 2010 vintage) were very cloudy. They look almost brand new, plus the lights shine so much brighter when driving at night. Well worth the $15 and 20-30. minute effort (first one took me 30 minutes because did slowly, second one completed in 15 minutes). Easy DIY project!

Awesome product , I have used many kits in my time with different vehicles . This one uses a normal household drill , to remove old yellow colored lens , it looks brand new now . Plus I replaced the Headlight Bulbs , after using the Headlight restoration kit , Together it made all the difference . I would Highly recommend this 3M system !!!

I used this kit after using the Mothers brand with a foam polishing sphere and being disappointed with the results. I used a m18 non-Fuel drill, and water. That’s all you really have to provide. I am shocked at the results. I have attached both before and after pics. I spent maybe an hour or two max, didn’t even go through a whole 6 amp hour high output battery. Car is a 2014 Elantra and had never had headlight treatment prior. I will say I do not know how long the coating will last, so I could remove a star later if it fades fast. I am just trying to sell the car so I didn’t get every last faint scratch out, but if you want to you can polish to your hearts content. It’s a shocking difference from a $14 kit. I did remove the headlight out of the car to avoid masking, if you can do this it’s probably worth the effort to avoid masking but they do include the tape for that. Instructions are very detailed and easy to follow.
