Autoglym Headlight Restoration Complete Kit, Quickly Restore Cloudy And Discoloured Headlights, Designed For Use With An Electric Drill, Includes Sanding Discs, Restoring Compound And Microfibre Cloth

Worth every penny. Follow the instructions and don’t cut corners and your headlights will look like new. It took longer to mask up the body work round the lights than it did to do the job. About 20 mins per light. Fantastic product, I’m amazed how good the lights look.

This kit is brilliant. Quick and simple to use. I have done 2 headlights so far that have failed an MOT. On the last one the garage quoted £35 to sort it. So this kit has paid for itself and some. Plenty of bits left to do a good few more headlights in the future.

Before I start this review, I have assigned this product 5 starts for what Amazon references as Sheerness. I have interpreted 'Sheerness' as the ability of the product to do what it claims. My reference for this is the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, 11th Edition.This product was purchased to undertake a repair to the headlights on my wife's vehicle that were starting to show early signs of 'lens bloom', external clouding on the top of the perspex main lights. I selected Auto Glym based on product reputation and 40+years of using Auto Glym products on all of our vehicles. I felt that £30.00 was an acceptable risk before purchasing 2 x new lights if this did not work. I need have had no such fears. Clear simple instructions, a supporting Auto Glym video, watched 2-3 times prior to undertaking the task were excellent training tools and gave me confidence to effectively destroy the surface of each headlight. I was able to easily remove the lights on our Volvo XC-60 and was able to perform this repairs off the vehicle. This helped me considerably and I felt gave me a better quality finish. It took me around 30-40 minutes per headlight working on a bench next to the car and providing you follow the instructions to the letter in terms of drill speed, use of water and the various grades of discs the end results were outstanding and much better than I anticipated. Overall a very professional crystal clear finish was obtained on each headlight. The headlights have been on the vehicle around 4 weeks and no signs of any bloom returning. Following the task I found I was able to recover the very fine grit discs and have reused them undertaking a headlight repair on a Mercedes due to a stone chip. I was able to remove the scratch completely that was in the middle of the headlight lens. It took around 20 minutes to complete while the headlight was left on the car. I don't have any before photos but in the attached images, on the white car the bloom extended from the top of the headlight lens over its complete length and down to 20% of the lens surface. On the grey car the chip and scratch damage was in the centre of the lens. As you can see, more than 4 weeks on the finish on both sets of lights has been exceptional. A great saving over a set of replacement lights. What a great product that even the least able DIYer will be able to obtain first class results. I have been looking for replacement fine grit discs but have managed to clean, wash and reuse the original sets of discs. The instructions from Auto Glym and clear simple and work but I recommend you also look at the video if you have never done this previously. Very highly recommended, an excellent product.

It does what it claims and is well thought out - just follow the instructions carefully, it's not complicated. Headlamp surfaces are much, much better now - if not looking brand new but that would be asking too much.Only observation: the paper discs can clog very quickly, so it's handy to have available some of your own wet and dry paper in stock to use once the discs are past it, particularly in 800 grade and 1500 grade - just a sheet of each. If you wanted to really go to town you could also start with some 600 grade to get the process started.Be patient - it only really starts to look good and clear with the final stage where you put the wet polish on the sponge and shine it all up.

Worth every penny! Takes some time, but the results really are worth it. I've used other non-drill based products in the past and they didn't work as well, so decided to go for this and it's like I have a new set of lights.If you have the ability to remove the lights from the car, I would recommend this as it saves a lot of time taping and you can get right to the edges without worrying about paintwork.

I have a 20-year-old Mazda with headlights that had seen better days, scratched, chipped, yellowed, and cloudy. Honestly, I was pretty sceptical about whether a restoration kit could make a real difference. But what a pleasant surprise! The Autoglym Headlight Restoration Kit did a fantastic job. The headlights now look almost like new, clear and fresh, which really lifts the whole appearance of the car and increases safety at dark. A quick tip for anyone using this kit: if you're using a battery-powered drill, make sure the battery is fully charged and strong. Even better, use a corded electric drill for consistent power. Be mindful of the drill speed, especially during polishing. If you go too fast, you'll end up with white polishing compound splattered everywhere. Ideally, your drill should have adjustable speed control. All in all, I'm very pleased with the results. The difference is night and day. Check out the photos, they really do say more than a thousand words.Highly recommended for anyone looking to bring their old headlights back to life!

I would easily give 10 stars, this is by far the best headlight restoration kit I have ever used,All you need is a good drill and a bit of patience whilst do the job, do exactly what the instructions tell you to do and you’ll get a perfect result it’s as if a new light fixture is fitted, to do my headlights it took me about a little over an hour, there’s no hard rubbing because your drill does the hard bit

Worked really well until the drill attachment/pad thingy disintegrated. Just as well I had a spare from another product I had used last year.
