No more hazy headlights...quick and easy.

Two thumbs up for Meguiars Headlight Restoration Kit. My head lights were probably among the worst. They were heavily hazed to a point that they were greatly reducing my field of vision at night. Tonight I bought the Meguiars kit ($25). The kit contains a buffer to be used with your drill, the polishing cream and a microfiber rag. It took me all of 30 minutes to go from this...

Yes Meguiars works good (I used there PlastX clear plastic cleaner & polish) along with the 5 minute restorer buff system for the last few years but of course the haze always come back unless you seal it. My next step is wet sand w/1000 grit and clearcoat and hopefully I won't have to do the once every 3 month buff-up

I use FLITZ, it is a cream in a tube. use it like polish with a rag, works fast and easy. results are about 80% . works excellent of chrome rims as well.

One of our members, I think it was Rowhard, had his covered with the same type materials as a "clear bra" and it has worked well for him.

Looks great! As far as sealant/protectant is concerned, watch eBay for the occasional clear headlight protectors that appear to be the same material as 3M's clear bra solution. I think they run like $85 a pair but are custom fitted for the VX headlights.

I used the same product (meguiars) and in the texan sun, it took just under two weeks to come back to a noticable haze. And its still spring!!

Clear bra you say... wonder if the wife would go for it =P

I tried the 3M lens renewal kit (about $20) and saw a huge improvement. Notice the beautiful gap between the hood and the headlight? :)

Got the 3M one on the shelf in the garage too, just been lazy and haven't done it yet. How long did it take you to do?

You know, my seals around the headlights look like *** too. :( Anyone have any luck replacing these?

Just replaced mine about two weeks ago.

I posted a "how to" and it should help you.

You have to remove the front cladding and grill to get the headlights out.

I used the OEM seals.

It takes a solid hour to do it right and follow their step-by-step instructions. Definitely worth it though.

I just use Meguiars Plast-x and my high speed polisher with a soft foam pad. Done in maybe 15 minutes including taping them off. Then again, I have a lot of practice with a polisher so I can do it with minimal risk. High speed polishers can quickly do more harm than good in inexperienced hands.
