My Headlight Restoration Write-Up

[Bob Barker]

I just always kept a heavy coat of wax on mine after I restored them. Don't know if that helped or if it was just a different headlight all together.

My previous car (G35) had headlights that were notoriously bad for yellowing, and although I never tried the 3M kit on them, I did use 3M's Plastic Cleaner and Plastic Polish compounds every few washes. One of those compounds (can't remember which) is what comes in the 3M kit, and they can both be applied by hand with pretty good success. I imagine that once you use the 3M kit to get rid of the surface roughness (mine was really bad) you could follow-up every few months with those compounds to keep them clear.
