I use them at the shop all the time on customer cars. I get them from the Part source next door to us in brampton. I'm pretty sure i saw them at the canadian tire in trinity plaza which is also in brampton. the kits works amazing!

Yeah got mine from Canadian tire too, they had a lot in stock when I bought it. The process is a little nerve wracking, seeing the headlamp all fogged up and sanded with the coarse grit paper. Just follow the instructions to the T and you won't have any problems. Another alternative is I think Mothers makes a one step kit that doesn't need you to use several levels of sand paper. Im not sure how well it works as i've only tried the 3M kit, both should be available from Canadian Tire as i've seen them side by side in the local store.

Matt, if you come back to the kitchener area (I'm in Guelph), stop by my house and we can clear your headlights in an hour. I have all the supplies and a good cutting compound.
