Re: Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration Kit

Are you able to tell me if the UV protectant is similar to what comes in the rain-x kit?

What's up with the orange towel included?

In the initial stages of putting together the first kit, the small format towel we tested just happened to be orange. We later specified our traditional gold color to match our Supreme Shine towels. We're moving to the orange color just to be a bit different with this kit.

I honestly have no clue what the protectant in the Rain-X kit is like or how it compares life span wise to this one. I'll have to touch base with R&D after SEMA on that one.

Re: Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration Kit

The Gut Wagon* sitting in my driveway really needs this. Hazy light covers are worse than dirty windows. I can't tolerate either!



* 2000 Chevy Silverado 4x4. 150,000 miles, dents, rust, the interior is totally trashed and falling apart. It has survived multiple teenage drivers. New rebuilt tranny thanks to the last one. No fluid leaks, now.

The perfect "Whitetail Getter."

Re: Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration Kit

when i wax my car i also wax my headlights and taillights, should i use the headlight protectant instead if it becomes a stand alone product or is waxing them fine?

Re: Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration Kit

I love this product, was a tad skeptical at first since its a newer product and not many reviews but wow. I don't usually do this but since there isn't much out there for reviews on this product I figured Id give it a go.

Its ridiculously easy to use, it took around an hour maybe a little longer for both start to finish(I'm slow and methodical). We just got this car the other day its a 2000 Infiniti g20 with 140k miles on it and well the pics will speak for them selves. Money well spent imo.

One side done the other before.

Close up of lights notice the reflectors the lens are smooth as can be and crystal clear.

Re: Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration Kit

Is there any foam pad that would work nearly as well as the easy buff pad that comes with the system? This would be assuming to use all the other parts of the system...

Re: Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration Kit

I have a question about the headlight protectant. Is it wipe on wipe off like MO7 or wipe on let haze like NXT 2.0? Also, how much use can you expect to get out of a sanding disc?

Re: Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration Kit

In theory, since it does offer very good UV protection, yes. We doubt a lot of people would use something like this regularly, however, so we aren't marketing it as such.

Now, from a detailer's services perspective it might work. We'll have to see when and if the protectant is sold individually.

Would be very interested in how the protectant compares to something like 303, which is well known and widely used for its UV protection. And, just as importantly, how it would compare cost wise

Wow..beautiful..I'm a believer and can't wait to try this on my commuter car that has badly oxidized headlamps.

The Headlight Protectant application is more like that of M07 rather than NXT - no hazing, just wipe on, wipe off.

The coarser the git the shorter the usable life of the sanding disc. 1000 and 3000 grit discs can be usually be used on several lenses.

Saw this kit at Auto Zone and will buy it tomorrow. Can't wait to try in on badly oxidized 1999 Ford Taurus.

Re: Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration Kit

I read in an Amazon.com review that you are supposed to wet sand with the 1,000 grit paper, and dry sand with the 3,000 grit paper, even though it is not listed in the instructions. Is this the proper way to use this kit?
