The first kit I bought for my old Z's headlights turned into a friend and family weekend of "light" cleanning. Stuff works great.

I see lots of older cars from the 90's that are so foggy you wonder how their headlights produce any light for them to see the road.
I have 82K on the clock. I think it's more of the quality of the lense as my wifes 03 Mazda's are still crystal clear.

Don't remember exactly how much it was, it was one of the more expensive kits at Walmart, about $25. It comes with both sanding disks, the foam sanding block, the polishing ball, bottle of PlastX, and the UV protection, and a microfiber towel.

Wonder if you can clean up a tail light lens the same way?

Yea, I'm curious how long it will last. But the kit comes with enough to stay on it until it will no longer be running and has long died.......

Clouded lights

We just used the Macguires one-step headlight restoration on my wife's PT and it produced amazing results. Her headlights were completely clouded and white looking and now they are totally clear!

Very cool. My HHR lights are a little hazed, but I have an '02 Dodge and Toyota minivan. They are real bad. I'll try this this weekend. I'll try to take before and after pics.
