Turtle wax headlight restoration
 

Picked this stuff up on a whim the other day. Actually seems to work fairly well. Looks like the yellowing is gone. I did notice a significant difference in light output. Not bad for $8. Cheaper than new headlights, though I would still like some L headlights and Harley corners. Essentially wet sanding with 4 different grits of pads and a lubricant.

i had decent results with it, i heard the 3m one is better

I looked a long time at the 3M product. Thought I'd start with the cheaper stuff. Will see how headlights look in the daylight today. Like I said, seems to have worked OK. Can't say they are "clear", but there was an improvement.

The best kit out there is the heavy duty one sold by ADS. It uses wetsanding, M105, and PlastX. It also costs a lot more than $8.

ive gotten good results with that turtle kit as well. ive done my truck, a 95 taurus and a 93 sable with it. cleaned alot of yellowing off the cars especially

Another positive vote for the Turtle Wax. Used it on the fiance's Focus.. and a Dodge Ram, buddy at work. Had pretty good results with both. Very happy considering the cost and ease of use.

I just got done doing mine with this stuff and i think it worked great. I've tried the mothers and another kind without good results. Now I'll have to see if it holds up. Here are some pictures

Here is a link to an experiment I did on some Code3 MX7000 light bar lenses that I have that were quite beat up when I got them.

Make sure when you do this that you reseal the lense, or you will just be doing it again in a few months.


Wetsanding is a good solution when the lenses are really bad, but you can accomplish the same results on lenses that are pretty far gone with a DA and a cutting pad.

This was done with a DA, a Meg's 7007 pad and Meg's 105
