    It really was easy to use. I bought this to restore headlights on 2009 Honda CRV my daughter drives at school. It takes a little time to do both headlights, but it's very easy to do. Both headlights look like new. If it lasts a year and I can clean and seal the headlights again next year I'll happily do so for $15 US. She's probably got almost double the light at night now. I'm very glad I bought the kit. Thanks for the informative review.

    I used this kit $16.80 ‐ Wal Mart, on my 2015 Tacoma last night. I was very happy with the results. I used my own 2000 grit and spent a lot of time to really make sure I got all the surface grime and have a nice uniform surface for finishing with the kit's 3000 grit pads. My kit only had 6 "Oxidization" (not a word) wipes, and it seemed to not be a problem.

    Would heat be a problem when doing this? Would it be ok to do this outside in summer, or would a garage be preferable?

    Small portion of only the right headlight of 2019 Acura MDX is showing oxygenation. Would you recommend completing the process on the entire surfaces of both right and left headlights, even though no visible oxygenation on most of light's surfaces?

    • @nickmcgoober5164
      @nickmcgoober5164 5 місяців тому +4

      Not to assume, but rather a confident guess, the headlight wasn't dry enough before the coating, or too much pressure was used in the coating step. It may be worth it for you to try again - you'll find it's expensive to have this done professionally, or worst case, replace the housing all together. I bet it will be well worth it to do it again. Or get an experienced buddy to do it :)

      You’re welcome. I was so tempted to use a more aggressive sand paper here but I refrained from doing that because what this kit could do on its own. The results were far from perfect but also far better than where we started. Plus, the owner was very happy

      I should’ve worded it differently. Where I live, cloudy headlamps can be failed but it’s up to the inspector to make a judgement call. I’ve heard stories of shops failing lamps for oxidation where that expense could’ve easily been avoided with half an hour worth of work

    • @ncooty

      @TheCarDetailingChannel Fair enough, though I think I'd take issue with any inspector failing a car for _that_ level of haze. Glad it was just a wording issue and not that you were trying to scare-monger over it. Thanks for explaining.
