Headlight Restoration Kit Review

As your car ages, plastic headlight lenses tend to get foggy and even a bit of a yellow tint to them. Not only does this make your vehicle not look as nice, but it also has a huge effect on how bright your headlights are. Replacing the headlight lenses can be pretty pricy and having a professional restore them can be expensive as well. Wouldn’t it be nice to restore your headlights yourself and save some money in the process?

The 3M 39008 Headlight restoration kit gives you the opportunity to do that. This headlight restoration kit is intended to restore 2 headlight lenses. With a simple 3 step process, and less than an hour of your time, you can have your dull lenses looking brand new. The headlight restoration kit simply uses the power of a common household drill (1200-1600 RPM) to all of the necessary sanding and buffing. To get your lenses repaired commercially it can cost anywhere from $75 to $150. This 3M headlight restoration kit costs just $16.97.

The 3 step process for this headlight restoration kit is so simple that anyone can do it. In step 1 you simply wet sand the hazed surface with the included sanding pads. Once the surface is smooth and the dulled layer is removed you move on to step 2. In step 2 you polish the lens with the included 3M plastic polish. In the final step you use the buffing pad to buff the lens to your liking. After the fairly simple process you have yourself a couple brand new looking headlight lenses.

It is also recommended to use a spray bottle with water during the wet sanding process.
