3M Headlight Restoration Kit? Yeah, it's good.

I grabbed the kit on amazon for $12 and hoped for the best. Sure enough, it worked well. I used a cordless drill and followed the directions from cleaning the headlight, 500 grit, 800 grit, 3000 grit, and then their clear coat wipes. Voila. I'm just sharing here in case anyone is on the fence or nervous about the process.





Time to wash the car

I’ve used one of the 3m kits before and it worked pretty well. Lately I’ve been using those kits on Amazon with the fogger and it has been pretty good too.
