Question 3M Headlight Lens Restoration System

Sup All,

"3M Headlight Lens Restoration System"

I'm really about to grab a kit from Amazon.com for about 20$ but before doing that has anyone on the forums used this product before?

Looking for feedback and opinions.

Regards,
Jason

Thumbs up

Sooo...
Picked one up the kit at Autozone for about 22$. I'm very satisfied, this really worked out great.

The early sanding steps are a lil scary but once you wet sand the headlights start to come to life and really improved its transparency.

and yes... I did spend more time on each step, I agree that this is important to do for best results.

I'll try to post pics up of before and after in the near future.

cheers!

Cool!

I had to do this on the plastic lights of my Intrepid every year
