Title: Product Review :Crystal View Headlight Restoration Kit Post by: clapton924 on June 16, 2010, 11:59:04 PM I've been meaning to post this. I bought this headlight restoration kit a few months ago and was pretty pleased with the results. Kit costs $20 and is easy to do. I bought this one because it included a UV resistant plastic sealant as the final step.
Kit includes 2 grades of sandpaper, polish and a sealant. Here are some pics during and final results.

Was it easy to use? A little more info could be really benefical to someone looking to clean up there lights. My impressions were very good. Product was easy to use and provided the claimed results. The product is basically a wet sanding kit with some plastic polish and sealant. It took me about an hour to do both lights. Its been several months and the lights still look very good. I should point out that similar results can be achieved with a DA polisher and compound...but most folks dont own one.

Might want to hold off on this product until I hear more from the company.
Title: Re: Product Review :Crystal View Headlight Restoration Kit Post by: MTsixspeed on October 08, 2010, 09:54:25 PM Mine are looking pretty bad. The OP looked promising. I don't necessarily believe that any of the restore kits actually provide lasting results and that is discouraging. I'm just going to replace the entire lens itself. (I'd replace the whole headlight, but then I'd have to repaint the housings black.)
