The clear coat finish is very durable, and the two together are a great solution.

Rich, clear finish when I was all through with the steps.

It is more work but the end result is a near perfect finish

So when I was finished, that portion was clear but the rest of light now looks a bit hazy.

Head lights were yellow at start, when finished were Crystal clear

will do fineI did the polishing twice too to give it a nice smooth shiny finish and again, it turned out sooooooo good!!

Works great, just follow directions and remember to tape off the area around lights with paint tape and rinse car off when finished, looks like new and really makes a difference

Oh, use light pressure while sanding and finishing and take your time for a great finish.

Make sure you use Meguiar's G17804 Keep Clear Headlight spray to help protect the finish, you would see big results

and I did not like the final finish

Follow instructions and you will be amazed how clear your headlight lens are when finished

That fixer/protectant gives a clearer finish

Works great, headlights look like new when finished.

It doesn't give that clean finished look.

Flawless finished product

I also bought the 3M UV protectant wipe for treatment afterwards - a definite must to give it a consistent, shiny finish and protection after polishing

Ended up giving up on the idea as i could not get the proper finish described in the instructions provided, with the quantity of sanding discs provided

After it was finished, looks like a brand new lens.

Used clear coat from a different conpany for a cleaner finish.

After I cleaned the headlights (sand and buffed per other 3M headlight kit, I used this to protect the finish.

3M's kit comes with a lens UV and oxidation protection solution which you apply at the end of the process where the Macguire comes with PLASTIX which is a version of rubbing compound intended for plastic which gives you a cleaner finish than the 3M as PLASTIX is the equivalent of a ultra fine sandpaper thus giving a clearer lens look but without the oxidation protection.

After i was finished, i didn't get the clarity i wanted, so i went over it with rubbing compound a few more times.

If you want a clearer finish you will need a few finer sanding pads then what is provided in the kit

In this "ultra" product, you then wipe a clear coat pad which spreads a clear finish over the lenses which effectively hides any remaining scratches and is supposed to protect the lens.

The haze were gone but couldnt get a clear finish

Other:- BUY clear coat to finish

Basically you will work your way up increased grit sizes until you have a super smooth finish

To get a really perfect finish a couple more of each grit would do the trick

I had Zona sanding paper left over that I used to go up to a much finer finish

The headlight became pitted over the last 13 years, which resulted in a massively dull finish

The sandpaper and combined compound and protectant offer an excellent professional finish when all is said and done

The rotary and foam pad gives it a nice finished look.

They contain a much needed layer of uv protection and will give you the perfect finishing touch.

and I still didn’t get that nice, clear finish

This process involved several steps but when I was finished, the headlights looked like new!

It does do the job but after you’re finished pretty much all of the parts are broken or worn out

The Maguire is truly a better finish but fails to provide last protection from UV and oxidation

I clean and polish a wide range of objects as I am an antique restorer, so I am familiar with the processes and time involved with polishing to a perfect finish

After you've finished removing the damage with this kit, I recommend Sylvania's UV sealant to keep the headlights looking great and prevent future UV damage to the plastic lenses

The finish the 3M kit leaves is very nice and clear

I recommend skipping this product altogether due to the scratchy finish.

My lenses were not horrible but I had to scrape by to get a good finish

Like-new clear finish.

Masking tape may be needed to protect painted finishes.

and they just didn't create a lasting clear finish.

Buff twice for a better finish.

The Maguire is truly a better finish but fails to provide last protection from UV and oxidation

Had to sand it down twice to get the shiny clear finish

An excellent product, very easy to use and gives a good finish

headlights absolutely look like brand new the plastic finish is back to factory quality very much worth the money

If you have never polished, buffed or sanded plastic or metal using a power tool then I strongly recommend not only using the instructions exactly as shown or practicing on a different piece of plastic.

If you take your time, your headlights will be a s good as new.
