I used Meguires headlight kit on my previous car and it worked perfectly.

I used:

Meguiar's Headlight Restoration Kit

It cost me pretty much the same price at Wal-Mart and bought a pack of 8 micro-fiber towels with it for an additional 5$.


You can kind of tell the right headlight came out a bit better, and well they didn't come out as good as I expected. I also did it by hand and did not use any powertools.

BUT WOW! The improvement is massive, You can really tell the difference when you're driving at night.

Are you sure you used the kit correctly? I restored my beater's headlights with Megiuar's G3000 kit and the turnout was pretty good. The thing is, the entire process took me about 30 minutes of sanding per headlight (I was a bit timid with it at first).

Additionally, headlights need to have UV protection on them or the hazing will come back. The gel stuff that comes with the kit will only last about 1 month before you need to re-apply it. Your best bet is to apply a longer lasting product like Opti-Lens to ensure permanant protection.

I just did my wife's car with this kit and the results were pretty amazing.

u/Klexicon · 2 pointsr/AutoDetailing

I used this one about a month ago on my 2005 Jaguar S-Type that had some pretty bad yellowing and oxidation and it worked pretty well.

I'm about to go redo it with a 3M kit though because I'm starting to see yellowing again and there is still some slight oxidation.

Mine were pretty bad, and yours don't sound as bad as mine, so the Meguiars will work fine if you don't mind putting in some muscle work. The 3M kits have pretty good reviews and tend to use drills. So I would use either one, depending on what you want to spend, or if you have a drill or not.

What makes you so sure it is in the inside? It might appear to be but it usually isn't. I have used Meguiar's G3000 Heavy duty kit and worked great for me. Link

Harbor Freight ...that says it all. You get what you pay for. Invariably the kit is made in China ....

Buy a decent kit from the likes of Meguires:

Get this, you can get it from walmart or whatever. follow instructions = nice headlights

u/insomniaticnotw · 2 pointsr/Miata

Meguiar's G3000 is the kit that I used on my car before I put Lamin-X over them. Takes about 10-15 minutes (depending on how detailed you want to be) to clean up each headlight. It really makes the car look brand new, totally worth it.

Here's my opinion

Shampoo- good choice, make sure you're using a washing mitt and not any kitchen sponge, something like http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-X3002-Microfiber-Wash-Mitt/dp/B000RXKR6M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405903374&sr=8-1&keywords=washing+mitt will be fine

Towel- while you can dry with any microfiber towel, it will be best to use one specifically made for drying so you don't have to wring out the towel after every wipe. Also, using a low quality microfiber has the possibility of scratching the paint. My recommendation would be http://www.theragcompany.com/Dry-Me-A-River-26-x-59-Premium-Microfiber-Waffle-Weave-Towel-42009-2659-OW.htm

Wax- I have no idea how much you want to spend, but if you're going to be applying it by hand you generally want to go with a carnuba wax as they are easier to apply and wipe off. My personal favorite is pinnacle souveran liquid wax. Probably out of the price range for a beginner, but it's super easy to apply/wipe off, and it produces amazing results and lasts a lot longer than other carnuba waxes. http://www.autogeek.net/pinliqsouvwa.html If you want something on the cheaper end and can be purchased in auto stores, go with Meguiar's gold class liquid wax. http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G7016-Carnauba-Premium-Liquid/dp/B0002UNOYM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1405903940&sr=8-2&keywords=gold+class+wax

Applicators- If you're applying wax, go with a foam applicator pad like these lake country applicator pads(make sure they're the red color) with this palm grip

Headlights- If you have a power drill, I recommend this http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G3000-Heavy-Headlight-Restoration/dp/B004HCOE72/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405904455&sr=8-1&keywords=meguiars+headlight kit as it attaches right to the drill and works very well.

Probably. I was tired of the stock grill and wanted something clean and simple. This did the job beautifully. I might plastidip my bottom grill black. It does look pretty good that way. I want to get the stock fogs instead of these stupid things the previous owner installed. I love the taillights on yours but it would feel weird not having amber. I was tempted to get the taillights like yours but slightly smoked under the red.

This kit was on Amazon for $25 and it did a much better job than the Turtle Wax kit I got last summer. Still have a bunch left over to do a few more cars too.

Is it this guy?. I'm in the states and I don't think there's a canadian tire for a great distance.

u/LagCommander · 1 pointr/mazda

I've been using this:

Meguiar's Heavy Duty Restoration kit; Only thing it requires is a Power drill and masking tape.

I'm sure there are guides and other products to give you better results; but this works well for me and has lasted awhile. At most, they get very slight oxidation; either that or it's just me looking for flaws.
