 Wow, Like New! Feb 07, 2010
By R. H. Krauch
"iPodBookWorm"
I've been watching my the lenses on my 2002 PT Cruiser become more yellow and hazed over each year. Not only do they look terrible but at night, they don't shed as much light as they used to. The price to replace them is about $125. I purchased my 3M Lens Renewal Kit from Autozone and paid $25 + Tax. A local body shop said they'd do it for $71 for both lenses. I decided to take on the project and do it myself. The directions are good and easy to follow; there is even an online "how to" video.
I am very impressed with the outcome! I only wish I could post some before and after pictures but this review only allows for video. Everything's included in the kit except a drill. The sandpaper grades are extremely fine. You will work your way to the extra fine and finally buffing and polishing compound. To do both headlights will take a couple hours and you will end up with a brighter outlook on night driving and a happier face on your ride.

 Easy to use and works Mar 30, 2010
By Dat Hong
I was hesitant to try this because I feared I would mess my headlights up. Well, I did it anyway, and I couldn't be happier. This product is SOOOO easy to use. All you need is a power drill (1200 - 1600 rpm) and about 2 hours of your time. It has a 4 step process and each kit is good for 2 headlights. I used this on a 2002 Jetta and got near perfect results. Before the sanding, the headlights were fully yellow and looked horrible. After the sanding, they look close to new.
When you first start sanding, the headlights will be cloudy and rough. That's normal and as you go through the steps and start using the finer sand paper, the cloudiness goes away and next thing you know, you have a clear and clean headlight. The directions were easy to follow and even if you have no mechanical abilities or never used a drill before, you can still do this. Just attach the parts to the drill, and sand away. if your read the directions, and take your time, you can't mess up.
Don't buy a new headlight until you try this kit. You'll be glad you did and so will your wallet.

worked good May 26, 2010
By Christopher J. Tourek
The kit worked quite well, just make sure you take your time and tape off well around the headlight so you don't scratch your paint (I would suggest at least 2 layers of tape).

Works Great! Apr 06, 2010
By Dave
My GF's XC90 headlights looked like they had dried egg mixed with yellow paint on them. I had initially tried using some Mequires "headlight restorer" but, it was no match for these headlights.
The package includes everything you will need: tape, sandpaper, polisher, and polishing compound. I initially started off with a cordless DeWalt drill, I personally would not recommend using a cordless, as there is usually not enough RPM's in a cordless, and you will be swapping out batteries every 15 mins. I picked up a powered DeWalt that does 2500+ RPM's for $60 at Home Creepo, less than the cost of a new battery!
Follow the instructions and you will be golden, the more time you take, the better the result. I took about 2.5 hours, and I thought they came out great. At an angle you can still see some of the sand marks, but as the instructions say, the more patience and time you take, the better the results. Trust me, they look great now!
A simple hint, depending on the design of your vehicle, I lifted the hood so I would not have to tape off that section, I would also definitely double and maybe triple tape (if you can) the painted edges around the light for added protection, it's easy to pull off.

great product Mar 08, 2010
By F. B. Wichern
I recently had my 97 MIT 3000 GT painted and the only part they could not touch was the headlight lens. This kit restored the old lens to like new to match the new paint! a great deal, several hours work, and an incredible saving over replacement of headlights.
