Headlight fixin'

[Ophidia]

My '04 (That I just got) has 91k on it. There are a bunch of scratches and pits on the heatlights, and they drive me nuts. I bought this to try:

Amazon.com: 3M Headlight Lens Restoration System: Automotive

I know it doesn't come with any protectant, but I have that covered. Will this make the lenses so clear you won't be able to tell they're anything other than new?

Thanks!

I just use the old fashion way. 1600 and 2000 wet sandpaper and some plastic polish. worked great

That's what I tried too and still had all the cracks and imperfections that seemed to be on the inside. Too bad these new ones were crap. They looked identical, but the reflectors must have been at a slightly different angle, I guess. Back on with the old ones, and back with the new ones.

This is actually the kit and process I used.

Yeah well to my understanding it just takes off the oxidation that's on the surface of the headlight, it wont take off any cracks that it may have.
