Plastic lenses can yellow with age, reducing headlight brightness, and new lenses can be expensive. The 3M ™ Headlight Lens Restoration System lets you shine and restore plastic lenses, including headlights, taillights, fog and directional lights. Now you can produce professional results with the 3M ™ Headlight Lens Restoration System and a household drill (1200-1600 rpm).

I would not recommend using sanding discs, and definitely would not recommend jumping from 800 to 3000 grit

I used this kit on a yellowed headlight just yesterday. It got the lens clear again but not as clear as new and also, the yellow is still there. LAME!!

you need to get blue magic, it's made specifically for the yellow, and the 3m polish is for the scratches

Or just wait on zo6_joe to sell his kits.

If it's not working for you, you're doing it wrong. I've used this exact kit on 3 different vehicles and it works perfect. You didn't spend enough time w/ the coarser discs if you still have yellow lights. My lights looked like they had scales on them they were so bad. I used the 3M kit (and some Meguiers Plastix) and they look brand spankin' new.

cant rush it you have to take your time on the course grit to remove all the yellow film..

Novus plastic polish works very good.

I took my time and used the whole kit on one headlight. It didn't get the yellow out. I copied the 3m demonstration vid exactly

Without recoating the lamp it will just turn yellow again.. that kit is just temporary

I know ive posted this up a few times today, but this seems to be a real issue with these cars.

Here is what i did.

I did this last night, wet sanded, then dry sanded with 2000 grit.
Then CLEARED with 1500° clearcoat dupont paint.

Here is the result....
BEFORE:

AFTER:

Cost me $0.00 I had the clear paint and sandpaper left over from other projects.
I actually just sanded, then cleared, let sit for about 30 minutes, and they were on the car over night. Clean and clear now
