Review on 3M 39084 Headlight Restoration Kit by Justin Herman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Amazing results when you take your time!

This set is worth its money in gold. They offer basically the same thing for use with an electric drill, but I chose the hand sander version because I can get more into the gaps in my car's headlights. My headlights were completely yellowed and almost useless when driving through the woods near my house at night. I used to use the old WD-40 trick, but it only lasted a few days or until it started raining. I estimated new headlights and they cost $200 - I can't afford that. So I tried this set. Yes, a hand sander requires more effort, but my headlights look like they were just bought from the dealer. A hand grinder is small enough to get around corners and bend OEM designs into their headlight lenses (anyone else miss old square sealed headlights when we never had to deal with that crap!?). I drove to work this morning (through the woods at 5am) and I could see everything without needing high beams again. My advice: take your time with each step, especially the last crumb. I spent about an hour and a half making sure I got every seat. When sanding, take a damp rag and check the progress and pay attention to the sanding marks to make sure you don't leave deep marks of coarse grit. If you take your time like me, you will be amazed at the results. Much luck!
