There not bad--I've done it on a couple of cars. Problem is it don't last as long as you would think--maybe a couple of years then you gotta do it again.
Least that's my experience
Kits work. Follow instructions and let Ba do it

The kits work......It will take longer than 5 minutes though, lol
I did my wifes and they looked worse after than before. Vim lazy tough and prolly didnt do it right.
What? You gonna polish up your little girl truck?
i tried it without success...won't do it again
I always trade for a brand new truck before my lights get dim.......get a better trade in that way also
My daughter's headlight lenses were oxidized pretty bad and her boyfriend bought one of those kits and I was surprised how much they cleared up. They didnt come out a good as a brand new one but that much money wasnt spent either. Frankly, I wouldnt bought the kit thinking it was a waste of money and wouldnt work but it was definitely worth the money spent. I guess it just depends on how good you want the lenses to get whether you buy new lenses or try the kit on what you have. I guess Amy's lenses restored to about 2/3rds of what brand new would look like.
Yep!Quote:

Great tip. Thanks for sharing.Thumbs UpQuote:

This. I used a grinder with a buffing wheel. Be very careful if you use a grinder, it can be too fast and WILL melt the plastic if you really bear down on it. Like mentioned before, it won't last long. I polished mine a couple of times (96 Dodge) and eventually just replaced them. Should have done that in the beginning.Quote:

Auto lights are made with cheap polycarbonate. They could use carbonate with a UV film that would keep'em from darkening with age. I've used carbonate for years in the boat industry, and I always specified using UV protected material. Maybe using it would make cars too expensive.
