Turtle Wax 53435 Speed Headlight Lens Restorer Kit with Ceramic Acrylic Protection Wipes 2 fl. oz

This worked surprisingly well on older headlights that had developed noticeable oxidation, cloudiness, and yellowing from years of outdoor exposure and harsh weather conditions. The difference afterward was immediately visible and made the entire vehicle look significantly newer and better maintained. The process does take some patience and preparation, especially on headlights that are heavily weathered or have spent years exposed to stronger environmental conditions, but the overall improvement was absolutely worth the effort. Visibility also improved noticeably afterward, particularly during nighttime driving. The kit itself arrived complete, properly sealed, and well packaged with everything intact. Instructions were straightforward, and the included materials felt organized and easy enough to use for someone without professional detailing experience. What I appreciated most is that the restoration looked much cleaner and more even than many quick temporary “wipe-on” style products that tend to fade very quickly afterward. This actually felt like a more substantial correction process rather than a short-lived cosmetic cover-up. For the price, this is an excellent alternative to prematurely replacing expensive headlight assemblies and definitely one of the more worthwhile automotive maintenance products to keep on hand. #AmazonFinds #HeadlightRestoration #TurtleWax #CarDetailing #AutoDetailing #CarCare #Automotive #GarageEssentials #VehicleMaintenance #PaintCorrection #EverydayEssentials #LuxeLife

I have to say I am wildly impressed with this Turtle Wax Headlight Lens Restorer Kit. My car is 14 years old - and so are my headlamps. I recently did some research on the price of new ones, and aftermarket no-name lights run around $90 per light. Brand new headlamps from the dealer would run $600. Geez. So I decided to take this big huge risk and plunk down the $10 or so for this Turtle Wax kit to help save my ailing 14-year-old lights (by the way, that's 98 years old in dog years!). The change that this kit made on my lights is remarkable. They are definitely in a "like-new" state right now, since the kit of course can't take out any big scratches or pits or anything like that. It's really only for yellowing and oxidizing. The biggest thing that makes this product worthy of your $$ is the incredible ease of use. If you can sand something (without sanding your bumper) and have 20 minutes to spare (ok, 40 if you are slow and read every single word of the directions like me), you can be successful with this kit and save yourself a ton of dough on new headlamps. There are other kits for sale, both here on Amazon and elsewhere, with varying prices. I even saw one for $100 or so. I haven't tried any of those but I honestly don't see why the higher costs would be justified. The Turtle Wax Headlight Lens Restorer Kit comes with 4 sanding pads, a lens sealing wipe, and most importantly, two bottles of "stuff": one is a lubricant for wet-sanding, and the other is a pasty abrasive waxy liquid (Lens Clarifying Compound) used before and after the entire sanding process. You're supposed to apply the waxy liquid, then let it dry and buff off, and then start wet sanding with the #1 sanding pad until you see a noticeable improvement in your lights. For me, longer was better, especially since my lights were pretty bad. After that, you use the #'s 2-4 pads sanding in the opposite direction (e.g. up/down vs left/right) at one minute each. I probably went two minutes with each of those pads just to be sure. Next, you dry the lights, then re-apply the Lens Clarifying Compound and buff off, and finally, use the glove to wipe on a lens sealant (it felt almost like a runny gel) to seal the lens. Here are some pros to this kit, as I see it: -It was so easy! It took me about 40 minutes in total, from start to finish, and that's both lights too. Along the way you can definitely see improvement so it's not like you are left wondering if it will make your lights better. -The price was extremely reasonable -My lights are now "like-new"; the only thing that you can still see is areas where a rock hit the lens on the highway, or a crack inside the plastic (not on the surface). But it sure beats paying $180 for no-name aftermarket lights and upwards of $600 for lights from the dealer. -They give you way more than you need with this kit. I was extremely liberal with the lubricant spray for sanding and I still have a half a bottle left after doing the procedure TWICE on both lights. Same with the Lens Clarifying Compound. The sanding pads also seem like they are still in decent shape, too. -It seems like ANYONE could do this kit successfully; male or female, young or old, handy or not. It's that easy. Here are some cons, however: -I wasn't satisfied with the results the first time around. I wondered if I did enough with the #1 pad, the most abrasive (and therefore removes the most) pad. So I went out the next day and did the whole kit again (the first night I did not put the sealing wipe, so if you plan to do it twice, don't use that wipe). After another go I was really impressed with the results. -The lens sealing wipe was the only hard thing to use. They give you this slippery, extra extra large glove to use when you apply the wipe. That, combined with the fact that the sealant is gel-like/oily made it hard to get a good grip on the little wipe. It fell out of my hand and onto the driveway once but didn't pick up any sand or anything, thankfully. I think if I had to do it again I'd try a different glove for better grip. -I am not confident that this little wipe and sealant will actually seal the lens long-term, so I'm going to wax my lights twice once the sealant cures. They say it takes 24 hours to do so. I think waxing the lights will provide another level of protection from scratches, oxidation, etc. A couple tips: -When you're sanding, make sure to use the lubricant liberally. They give you enough to do so and I think it makes the results better. -Be sure to apply a lot of pressure when sanding. The sandpaper is very fine grit so light sanding may not give you the kind of results you are looking for. -Don't be afraid to go longer than the directions say (only 1 minute for the #2-4 pads). The second time I did the kit I really took my time and got a lot of sanding in. I think the results were much better because of that. -Try to use a microfiber cloth to wipe your lenses and for the Lens Clarifying Compound, rather than an old rag which may scratch the lenses further. Microfiber also soak up a lot of liquid and help things dry fast. I bought a big box on here a few months ago and use them for practically everything car-related: Zwipes Microfiber Cleaning Cloths, 36-Pack -Do the kit once without using the sealing wipe, then wait some time and see if you like the results. If you do, apply the sealant wipe. If you don't, don't be afraid to do the kit again. All in all, despite the minor "cons", I still give this price 5 stars because of the huge and impressive results, and of course the cost. Good luck!

If your plastic headlight lenses look like a smoker's teeth, chances are no amount of buffing and shining is really going to return them to factory new shape. But if they are mild to moderately faded or hazy then this may be worth a try. My car is eight years old and has spent all its life outside, so the headlamps are pretty heavily faded and scatched. I've actually used this product twice now, about a year apart, and each time it's restored quite a bit of shine and clarity to the plastic covers. One issue to be aware of is that while this lens restorer does a fine job, if you have a lot of fade on the *inside* of the lens, you won't be able to fix that. Still, clearing what you can on the outside is a worthwhile endeavour when you consider the improvement you'll see at night while driving. There is enough lubricant and polishing compound to do four or more moderately dull lenses, but the pads in my experience will be really worn by the time you get that far. The most important part of the process, the sealant, is just a single wipe and I found it dried out before I got both headlamps fully wiped. Once that sealant wears off, your lenses will quickly fade again. In fact they'll probably fade quicker since you've now sanded off what little UV protection your lenses had left. Still, if you're having trouble seeing at night because of faded lenses, this is a reasonably priced solution that should work for many people. It only requires a small amount of "elbow grease" to see results, too. You can do two lenses in less than hour if you're quick.

I tested this product out on my car's heavily fogged headlamps. They were so scratched that the plastic looked frosted rather than clear. While the scrubbing liquid itself didn't clear up the plastic, tackling the lenses with the included sandpaper/scrub pads worked like a charm (with some elbow grease). The difference was amazing - it's not like they were like new again, but they were actually clear again! I next used just the liquid on lightly scratched lenses and they came out shiny like new. It's pretty impressive stuff. It's been several weeks and the headlamps still look great. I highly recommend this product! Updates: After a little over a month, the hazing started coming back. The sealant that comes with the kit works for a short period of time, but not for long. I've since tried the Meguiar brand kit, which I liked better, but primarily because it came with a buffing pad I attached to my drill rather than having to do all the work by hand. Even with that kit, however, the results don't last more than about 6 months. It's better than nothing, however, and better than spending $250 on new headlamps.

The headlights on my new “used” truck were very cloudy. I looked at the reviews before making the purchase and it truly does all that is stated!! I made sure to read all instructions hoping this would make a difference AND it most definitely did!! I’m so happy with the results!! I posted the before and after!!

I was surprised by how well this worked, and how far the compound went. I managed to do my headlights, my dad's work van, my husband's, and my roommate's, and I still have the cleaning compound left. This stuff worked really well, no scratch pads needed. Just a few passes of the cleaner, then the wipes and they're like brand new.

Very easy to use and does a pretty good job on older headlights

Wow!!! I was skeptical; after having read several reviews and looked at so many before/after pics, I was sure my headlights were worse and could not be brought back to life. Both were yellow and very cloudy, they were so dim it was getting unsafe at night. One was quite a bit worse than the other. But having seen it would cost several hundred dollars to replace them (that's for EACH ONE!), I decided to try this $8 fix. And I am just blown away by the results. My before pics look much more clear than the actual headlights did outside; somehow my camera 'fixed' some of the cloudiness and yellowing, and so I guess other pics here had the same issue: they didn't really show how bad the lights were. Amazing how the camera couldn't really show how bad they were. But the after pics show they are very clear. They look almost new, they've got to be at least 90% - 95% as clear as they were when brand new on my used 2009 Toyota Yaris. So here is what I did (the entire process was 1.5 hours): 1) Ordered the Turtle Wax Headlight Lens Restorer kit from Amazon. 2) Purchased some very cheap terry cloths, plus the cheapest blue painter's tape I could find at Wal-Mart (for under $2.50 - Clean Release Painter's Tape from DuckBrand) 3) Checked the weather to make sure it would be clear, dry, and little-to-no wind for the day. Read all the instructions on the Restorer Kit thee times. 4) Step 1 (on the back of the box): Cleaned the headlights with Windex (I'm sure any method would work; I cleaned them twice to remove all dirt from the headlights and from the car body around the where I would tape). 5) The instructions say to work on one lense at a time (up to Step 3; I did that, although I taped the second headlight while waiting for the clarifying compound on the first to dry) 6) Taped all around the first headlight, making sure the tape covered the car body close to and under the edges of the headlight lens. During the process some of the chemicals dripped onto parts of the car body, but it was easy to wipe off and didn't appear to do any damage. So taping is good, but I don't think it absolutely has to be done perfectly. 7) Step 2 (back of the box): Applied the Lens Clarifying Compound as instructed, was amazed at how quickly the yellowing was removed, but there was still some cloudiness and some portions I was sure couldn't be fixed (but I was surprised after the last step!!). 8) The lens wasn't totally clear, so I followed Steps 2a, 2b, and 2c (from the back of the box). I was concerned about part of the lens being too cloudy (there was an edge that separated the clear part of the lens from the cloudy), but the lens was at least 70% to 75% clear, so I was mostly excited. But I repeated steps 2a - 2c to see if it would help, and I afterward I thought it actually looked slightly worse; some of the cloudiness was still there, with the partially-cloudly portion still there. But I wasn't finished, so I kept hoping. 9) On to the second lens; I finished taping it and followed 6), 7), and 8). I only did 8) once, and this lens (which was more yellow and cloudy than the other) actually looked pretty good, but I could still see a cloudy portion. It was maybe 80% clear, though, so I figured that should be good enough. 10) Now the miracle in Step 3 (back of the box)! I put on the flimsy plastic glove (it served its purpose) and wiped both lenses with the pad in the Lens Base Coat Wipe packet. I wasn't sure how to wipe it, and the chemical seemed just a tad thicker than I expected, but hoped maybe the last pad would fix things. Before opening the next packet (the Lens Sealing Wipe), I noticed the instructions on the back to wipe each lens back and forth... and I couldn't believe the results! Everything became crystal clear, the cloudy area and the edge that separated it from the rest of the lens just disappeared. I couldn't be happier with the results!! So as others said before, the headlights will look a bit worse before you are finished, but they look almost new, except for some deeper scratches and wear and tear from 7 years of use. Follow the instructions and this should work for you, too!!

Easy to use, no need the sanding Good value

Não foi o que eu esperava, mas melhorou o farol.

Initially I thought of changing my car’s headlight but this product is awesome Restores my car’s headlight and saves my money 24k.

Mis faros no estaban tan amarillos pero si tenía a manchas y estaban opacos. Quedaron muy bien, solo hay que ser cuidadoso son la aplicación de la toalla con acrílico porque puede hacer grumos si se aplica demasiado

كما الوصف، رجعت الشمعات صافيه كأنها جديده
