Turtle wax headlight restoration
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 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.
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
