Review on ๐Ÿ”ฆ Revive Headlights with 3M Headlight Renewal, 39162 - 8 oz of Restoration Power by Brian Douglas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Don't expect great results by hand

This worked pretty well on 6 year old headlights that were beginning to cloud and oxidize. here at Revain. The pads are color coded from hardest to softest. Glued around the headlights with blue masking tape. 4 passes over each headlight with the same rough pad. Each run lasted about 5 minutes at low to medium speed. Start slow or splatter material everywhere. Wipe it off after a few minutes. Repeat. After that I made 1 pass over each Meguiar's Plastx headlamp with the next less rough pad. Same technique with a drill. After that I made 1 pass over each headlamp with with Tortoise Wax Headlight Cleaner/Sealant with the next softer pad. The same technique with a drill. Wiped and polished. a thin layer of synthetic aerosol wax. I only used plastic because I already had it. The 3m product did the most work. I noticed that the plastic helped remove some minor scratches. Take your time and work in the shade. If your headlights are really bad, you need to wet them first.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Frequency
