it worked! take that plastx
well guys i believe i have found the best headlight cleaner/restoration product. after using and buffing with bluemajic, plastx and turtle wax's headlight cleaner i had zero improvements to my headlights. i down to my last hope of actually baking my headlight open and cleaning the inside to make those dirty yellow and water marks go away. after all that cleaning i really tought the inside was dirty until i tried the great 3M HEADLIGHT RESTORATION KIT. and i have to say this product is the greatest. in just 4 hours of a very hot sunday i successfully made my headlights look brand new. i give it a 9.9 out of 10 and suggest all members who are tired of trying plastx or members who have to use those products every weekend to make their headlights look good to use this product. it only cost $20 at autozone or advanced auto parts. here are some pics

That works well for lightly hazed headlights but you have to touch them up every once in a while. The product that the OP is referring to takes the headlights down more. I just used the 3M kit a couple of weeks ago on my wife's g35 and it came out great. I had previously used plastx by itself, claybaring and then plastx, the Meguiar's kit with buffing pad and plastx, and finally the 3M kit. This is the best and easiest way to do it quickly. You can sand your headlights down by hand and that'll work just as well but the drill attachment is so much easier to use. I had similar results as the OP. By the way, mine were yellow, not slightly hazed.

I had a guy come by an do it professionally. He worked like a dog for over 3 hours, cleaning, sanding, buffing, and finally clearcoating the headlights of my Mom's 2000 Honda Accord. This was over 3 months ago. They came out newer than new and it cost me $90. The lights were very badly yellowed and you can not tell the difference now between brand new ones. I think they were called Headlight Dr or something like that.
