Review on πŸš— Revive and Safeguard Your Car's Headlights with Turtle Wax 53435 Speed Headlight Lens Restorer Kit by Lawrence Reuter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product - with suggested workaround.

Good. This product works, but there is a "workaround". In my opinion the normal person doesn't have enough "elbow lube" to use this product and get the desired results with the included headlight cleaning/polishing pads. My car's headlights fogged up badly and I tried to use this product as directed - hand clean and polish. Forget it! Barely two hours later I had almost nothing to show for my work. Yes, I could see a slight improvement, but I didn't have the time or resources to complete the work as described in the instructions. So here's the trick. Buy yourself a foam polishing cone and an electric drill, then apply the product! Using the compounds included in the Turtle Wax kit, my headlights were literally "like new" after about 15-20 minutes of mechanical polishing. I couldn't believe it. As a side note, no matter how careful you are, you will splatter some of the compound onto your car's hood unless you tape butcher paper or newspaper first. Once the polish gets on your car's paintwork and dries, it's VERY difficult to remove. So, wipe your car with this technique, or take newspaper and tape and cover the hood of your car more thoroughly.

Pros
  • Lighting and accessories
Cons
  • Something different
