3M39008 Headlight Lens Restoration System 2-Pack

The headlights on our 2016 Mazda CX5 were cloudy. This restored them to looking brand new. Easy to use too. It did require a power tool - drill - but cleaned them up beautifully

This product is awesome! I'm usually not one to write reviews or post any pictures, but this product exceeded my expectations. I have a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe and the highlights had become so hazy that it was distracting; both to drive and to look at. So shopping around to get them restored was easily going to cost me over $70. Of course my brain is like screw that, Let's DIY it and I promptly had Pinterest flashbacks! After a lot of reviews and a lot of YouTube's, I decided on the 3M kit. I bought two kits per suggestion of the reviews due to the size and the extent of damage in my headlights. Once I received the kits and read the directions a few hundred times(also YouTube again), I was ready to get started!I used painter's tape to frame the headlight and I already had a cordless drill so I was ready to go! When you first start, you do question your judgement skills and if you made the right decision. No worries, it will work out and keep the drill moving continuously over the headlight. I will tell you the first step in the the sanding process is the most important, if you take your time and are diligent on the first part the other steps are a lot easier!It took me about a day to do a headlight, mainly because I had to recharge the drill (Harbor Freight less than $20). I picked up a UV headlight spray from Wal-Mart to seal the headlight once I was done. I did use one kit per headlight which I recommend. All in all, the only major investment is your time and energy. The results were well worth it!

I bought my first 3m headlight cleaning lens kit quite some time ago (many years) with extreme success every time. the kit lasted me all that time until I abused it so I needed a replacement. I polish our cars headlights once a year and our cars (12-15 years old) look like they have new headlights every year. I've parked next to newer cars with cloudy headlights at work and my co-works have asked how I keep mine looking so go. :)Tips - Following the instructions they'll recommend that you use sandpaper first to sand out the big scratches. I did that the first time but learned that unless you actually have big deep scratches you don't really need to. I start with polishing compound (I buy it in the bottle) and apply I too the sponge and smear it around the headlight. Then run the sponge on the drill covering the light for a few minutes on low speed. I take a break and let the polishing compound dry until it's mostly dry and then I run the drill again at medium speed (without cleaning off the polishing compound in the sponge) for a few minutes until I've thoroughly made my way slowly across the whole lens "polishing" it. I'll then wipe off the polishing compound and see if it needs another go. If still cloudy, I re-do it using rubbing compound (rubbing compound has a coarser grit and is more aggressive). When done I store the drill adapter and sponge pad assembled in the original package.

Great kit to restore those old headlights. Takes about 30-45 mins to complete including set up time. Worth the time and money.

This is a simple and easy to make your plastic headlight covers look and Perform like New

This worked as well and just like they said it would. I'm only giving it 3 stars because of the way they packaged the buffing cream. There is enough cream to do an extremely good job on the lens 2X easily, but they put it in a little tear pouch. The problem with that is you have to device a way to keep the torn corner upright while you are applying it to the lens or the contents will spill out. Also if you don't use it all, you need to tape up the opening and put a clip on it to keep it from drying out.This is a very annoying way to package the cream and if 3M wants 5 stars they need to put the cream in a tube or a bottle that has a cap on it so a person can squeeze the dime size drop easily and put the cream to the side while they work on the lens.

The product is great but do not buy this item from this vendor. Description is misleading. They state 2-Pak but it is only one Pak. You can buy this product for half the cost on amazon. I bought because I thought it included twice the contents of the product. Again, product is great, used many times, but selling description is deceptive. Beware buying this 2-pak, it is not!

It took a few minutes to understand the process, but once I started, the kit worked perfectly. Headlights returned to be perfectly smooth and shiny. The final step will splatter a little, so I’d recommend the use of working clothes and to cover anything that one wishes to keep clean. Work time about one hours for both headlights. Exceptional product and results.

Very impressed by the result and how good the product worked, It did better then expected. I RECOMMEND it any one who has the haze problem with headlights it really works .

Product worked on a 2009 Matrix but the last step was missing a clear coat wipe. I've used another one in the past and that last step makes the headlamp much clearer and cleaner.

The instructions were easy to follow and everything happened the same as the instructions said they would. Bought 2 kits for 2 headlights but ended up only using 1 kit and still had sanding disks leftover. Would definitely use again.

Takes fair amount of effort.Cleaned the lens up,but didnt remove everything expected.

This kid worked really well! Easy to use and very effective.
