The 3m kit is the one with the pads

Ace Hardware sells it, Advance Auto..ect its like 10 bucks iirc


you cant really just buy the Application pad from the megs thing alone.

hey guys new member here and just thought i'd chime in

i use the Novus 1-2-3 when buffing out headlights. it's made for plastics and acrylic; i use it for my acrylic aquariums as well as my headlights. it works great! start out with #3 and work your way towards #1. i usually buy the whole set on ebay for about $20

I have been to dealer and he adviced on their restoration service, for $25. Being lazy *** , I had them do the job, with no/little results.

Then I have been to AAP and bought myself Turtle headlight lens restorer for $9 and worked on it. (Inclined to 3M but I dont have a rotary).

I have done for just 3 minutes on one of the lens and seee the pics below.

Note: i have just used lens clarifying compound on cotton cloth and bufed it with a terry cloth. Did not wet sand it, which is next step in the process, if the yellowing or cloudiness doesn't go away.




-- Probably, I need to work little more on the outer edges.

Unworked lens:
