Anyone tried RainX?

[coreygnar]

Has anyone tried Rain X headlight restoring kit, it comes with everything you need to sand, clean, and seal your lights, and i was thinking of trying it.
If no one has tried it, i will get it and post a review

i use WD40, 2000 grit sandpaper, and a buff pad... thats all i need. as far as rainx... i like the brand but never used the restore so....

Or you can try acetone, but just be VERY CAREFUL not to get on anything but the lense itself. It will eat the paint off your car in a second

Now a days its almost cheaper to get a new set of headlights if your lens are becoming that jacked up anyways.

or if your really cheap.. toothpaste

I restored my headlights last summer. After about 2 months they looked like ass again. So I bought new ones.

Call them and see if they can cut ya a deal and say your from GPF.net

i dont have that kind of money right now

Wetsanding and Plastix has the same result and is probably cheaper. Wax them to keep them looking new.

The rain x comes with everything you need, i dont want to go out of my way to find high grit sandpaper

well... try it and let us kno how it works... i tried sanding and buffing mine and ended up buying new housings.

they dont have the high grit sandpaper

and today i decided to try toothpaste and a powerbuffer/sander, it got a lot better but i still need something better

I just put a new pair of headlights on my 98 GP Daytona. I got them from a seller down in Texas via Ebay for $60.00. I'm very happy with them for the price and they made a big difference from the old, yellowed and sandblasted originals.

you can get up to 2k grit at autozone

There is a 3M headlight resotration kit that you can buy at autozone and there is even a video on youtube showing how to use the kit and the results it comes with sanding discs that you attach to a drill and then some plastic polish and a pad for the final step. Its abou 20 bucks i think but it may be just what your looking for.

the drill would probably help. i've wet-sanded mine twice, and i still want new housings. it helps get all the sh!t off but they're not gonna look new

Please, anyone concerned in restoring headlights. Watch any youtube video on it and you'll figure it out.
