used the 3m headlight restoring kit... the top of my lights were looking pretty shitty, there were some scratches and pitting as well..







works good man. $19.77 at walmart

 

edit because i used a no bueno image uploader

 

That came out great but pics 2 and 3 sure are scary...

 

Is this the kit that you use with an electric drill?

Looks good regardless.

 

yes! i would NOT attempt this with a cordless drill. i like to be very thorough and not rush things, it took approx 45m per side to do it right, with a few breaks.

you're going to want a nice corded drill for this

 

why do u need a drill for this?

 

This thing is really easy to do. A cordless drill you'll need more than one battery to do both and probably need to stop for a charge at least once as well. You are basically using your drill as a rotary.

My brother did this on his 240 and it was a night and day difference. It really does work.

 

Or sand paper and Compound followed by polish works just as well.

 

you could not substitute hand work for a drill?

 

I played with Sonus swirlbuster and the UDM on a CRV yesterday and it definitely improved it. But I'm wondering if a rotary wouldn't end up overheating the plastic?
