Armor All Ultra Shine Headlight Restoration Wipes (6 count)

This product worked better than I expected! My headlights weren’t awful but they were pretty cloudy. This product was really easy to use, and I was impressed with how well it cleared up the cloudiness on my lights. I was so impressed I bought a new pack for my dad!

Cloudy headlights are bad, not only for aesthetics but for safety. Instead of throwing light directly ahead to illuminate the road, oxidized lenses diffract the light, giving the cover that "old car glow." Such was my '99 Buick.I had watched involved DIY videos and even owned a restoration kit (the kind with a drill extension pad and rubbing compound), but didn't want anything so involved (or where I might accidentally damage the surrounding paint). So, I purchased *this* product thinking it was a multipack of those petroleum-based wipes one might find at a car store which *temporarily* fill tiny pits and scratches to make headlights *appear* clear.But NOPE -- this is the REAL THING. And it was easy-peasy. The kit comes with several prep pads and two finishing pads (each in a sealed packet). It also comes with what look like Nitrile gloves. The instructions say to vigorously wipe the headlights with a prep pad (using a small portion of the pad at a time), turning it and repeating until the pad no longer gets discolored. That didn't make sense to me but I went ahead. And I was dubious as the wiping seemed to initially remove oxidation only to leave the lenses more dull. Nevertheless, I kept on until the prep pad (it took two) no longer discolored. I'll admit I was not happy with the result -- even after trying to clean any "residue" they were still "cloudy".However, when I took the finishing pad and, as instructed, gently wiped from side to side on the "deoxidized" lenses -- IT WAS MAGIC! What was previously opaque became instantly transparent. I was gobsmacked at how fabulous my headlights look and how it's lasted. I'll admit the prep was a bit of work, but I'd rather use a little "elbow grease" than to risk a drill careening across the paint. It is important to note that the finishing pad purports to be a sealant with UV protection -- so I have high hopes of it lasting a long time.

I took a leap of faith on this product because of the huge amount of reviews and the fact that I was going to use it on my old Beater Saturn, that if it didn't work, I was going to replace the headlights anyway. It only took about 30min total to do this, and I followed the instructions EXACTLY. Now I will say that this product did NOT return the lights to factory new. But just look at the photos. For $20, IF this lasts even 6 months I say it's worth the price. This product removed the yellowing, almost all the fog, and most all of the heaviest oxidation/pitting. Again, not perfect, the UV finish does have faint streaking in it, and there is still a bit of stubborn pitting in the lower corners of the lights. But, again, the improvement is DRASTIC.

Very easy to use product and took about 15 mins. I used the complete contents as having extra “step 2” wipes seems pointless when you cannot purchase “step 1” wipes individually.I’ve used the sanding products before on a different vehicle and they do give better results but for the cost and the ease this product they are worth a go. The result does show a difference that you can see.“Before” pics are with blue tape, “After” pics without blue tape.

I would rate this 0 stars if I could.My lights had a bit of oxidation on the top and sides of the lights. My car isn't that old, only about 6 years old, and the lights weren't that bad. I just wanted to touch them up a bit, so I figured this kit would be great for that. It wasn't. I followed the instructions exactly, and even followed the tips that other reviews suggested, and two days later my lights were worse than when they started. They look terrible, and the luminosity of the lights are down because of the crazy internal reflections. I've attached pictures. During the process, I was very impressed, and halfway through the results looked impressive, but within a couple days, things look terrible. I will be taking my car to a professional and hopefully I don't have to buy a whole new light assembly. The first picture is halfway through when things looked impressive, the next two are 2 days after, and the last picture is the reflection on the front of the light.
