Bought the 3M kit from autozone. My yellowed and hazy headlights are no more. Very easy to use too.

I'm always here M-F, just reading mostly. Yep, she is still with me, just crossed 68,000 miles.


Sorry about the lack of pictures guys! I'll grab some with my cell phone.

Good deal. I corrected mine and a buddy of mines (chrome and dark factory lights) by wetsanding with automotive sand paper and polishing them out by hand with some scratch remover.

They came out really well. Can't wait to see some pics.

I have exactly 100,000 more miles than you! You can imagine how bad my factory lights looked.

I saw that way of doing them, but this kit has a adapter for a drill/cordless drill. Much easier.

those kits work well, but after you start using them it greatly reduces the time until they are hazed over again...i gave up on t he kits and just started wet sanding..much much cheaper and you get the same end result.

Yeah, I figured I'd have to do them again eventually, but right now better than paying for a set of new lights. I had enough of the kit to be able to go back again.

oh its deffinatly cheaper than buying replacements, can resurface them for a few years before you'd spend the same money as replacement.
