dirty headlights?!?!!

i just found out today if you have the dirty filthy headlights that need restoration!
use ATF fluid on a napkin and it will clean it up!
i was at an oil change place and the guy gave me a tip!
i was about to buy the 3m restoration kit!

but try it and youll be amazed at the results! some Auto Trans Fluid will do!

Sadly the 3M Restoration Kit isn't in stores yet but you can Google it on line and buy it for $22+ shipping. It is far superior to all the other restoration kits on the market.... Shops charge $99 to do this job for you with the 3M kit but the results are like "NEW!"

Yeah, it's in stores.

I picked mine up at Advanced Auto. I think O'reilly has them too.

I'm going to give the ATF a shot on the suburban's headlights. They're way worse than the G was, and I have experience with the 3M kit (plus enough left over to do a light or two) so I'll be able to give a good comparison.

The 3M kit is and has been available for some time. I did mine using the 3M kit a few months ago, looks great at first but I've had to polish mine several times to return the shine and clarity. Can someone post some pics of the lights done with ATF? I used to acetone my buddies emblems using brake cleaner, I would love to have another "magic" solution to sow my friends..
