Does anyone here has tried such stuff? http://www.ibc34.com...-and-After.html
YouTube videos are cool. Price for that is way high. Please, let me know results if someone has tried. I'm in Brazil, so I would like to hear opinions here before order such thing.

Thank you,
Alexandre.

The video makes this stuff look great. I have never heard of this stuff before, but it looks and sounds promising.

look, seriously... mine were TRASHED..... go buy (At Home Depot) a sanding block made of rubber so it conforms some, a pack of 1000 grit wet dry sand paper and a pack of 2000 grit and a bottle of plastic polish. Get a shallow tupperware tub and a bottlew a LIGHTLY soapy water (about 1 teaspoon per 5 gallon, so, a couple drips in a spray bottle) and wet the light(since you have taken it out of the car already) and take the 1000 and sand. occasionally use a towel to dry the lense and after abotu 10 minute syou will CLEALY see the spots where its pure new plastic. Re spray the light assembly and keep going, after that lenses is done, if you havelt already changed the sand paper, do so now and start the next light.... when they are done in 1000 grit, do it all over in 2000, though its MUCH faster than the 1000. When thats done, take some plastic polish on a rag and polish a spot, I used a minibuffer and it was crystal clear. IT took me less than an hour to do the clear corner mod to my lights AND polish them clear. Total cost was what, $15 ??

in their website price was for a quantity of 8 or 16 bottles. ebay is just for one.

Look on ebay for headlight cleaner. There is a kit that requires you to sand down your headlights and it works extremely well. My headlights were foggy and yellow but afterwards they were just like new. The cost was about $40-50. Don't buy new headlights or spend more than $100, because they are cheap-ass headlights that will fade eventually unless you can avoid winter and acid rain.

Here's the kit they sell at Advance auto stores

It works amazingly and they guarantee the finish for the life of your vehicle.

It's basically just wetsanding with 600, then 2500, then rubbing in an even finer grit compound to completely smooth out the lenses...

But the trick is in the final chemical, it's some sort of glossy sealant... I wish I could just buy a bottle of that stuff. It got my headlights shinier than anything else.

yeah, but they are saying that sand would ruin your headlights UV layer, and because of that in future you will get a yellowish headlights that cannot be restored to crystal clear. since this car is with me i have never used any abrasive stuff in headlights and probably i'll use this car for next 5 years so i think i can give it a try.

[alentz627]

let us know how it works, im curious

[t_lapo]

Once again lol....
After 2 years, im still running my own headlight buisness at a few local garages and used car lots.
I use the sanding method with a bottle of PlastX....and they turn out perfect.
Then after that, the secret is to youse Armor All UV Protectant dash wipes on them. They stay shinning in the sun, and also helps with the UV protecting on them.

And I thought I was crazy and the only one who uses armor all on my headlights. One day I was just thinking about trying it out, rubbed some on, polished it off with a clean rag and it works/looks GREAT.

I used Mguires Cleaner Wax and they came out very nice...I did a guys 300M at work and he was amazed. But I did find out that certain car washes put a film back on all of the plastic parts of the car (mirror covers especially) . It is the touchless car washes that seem to do the worst to the plastic.
