Turtle Wax HeadLight Restoration Kit RESULTS!

Here are before and after Pics using this product. BEFORE
AFTER IS IN SIGNATURE


My expectations were a little higher, but the product was only 10 bucks, so i get what i pay for. But all in all its not too bad.
Your input??

yea, and you figure, the headlights take quite a beating over the years being right in the front of the car so all the dings, knicks and scratches tend to hold dirt making them look old and beat. i've used the blue magic headlight restorer on my buffing wheel with good results also.

Brasso works wonders. Look in the stickies for the how to.

just be careful with the brasso...get that shiz on your paint and it can do downhill.

if going that route just be sure to tape off the bumper and prop the hood up.

Meguiars just released a professional headlight restoration kit. Before that though, depending on the damage I would seriously think about wetsanding.

i just tried that on my MAX! love it! oxidation returned too fast though!
so a buddy of mine reccomended to put a coat of wax on the lights to stop it from coming back. it's working so far.
