I spent at least 30 mins per headlight that was not even heavily oxidized and to me that was not enough time

Follow the instructions and take your time foe good results.

Make sure that you take the time to tape and protect the surrounding car parts!

Take your time prepping its worth the effort

Durability at this time unknown!!!

The total time it took for each head lamp was well under 30 minutes, including the time it took tape them off.

The issue was that I did not spend enough time using each grit pad and that I did not apply any sealer/clear coat after using the kit

Well worth the time and effort.

Make sure you have a decent drill and some time.

Product works great, take extra time and do it right .

Just take your time and don't panic when you first start

Keep moving back and forth with very light pressure as you work your way down the lens, then start at the top and work your way down again to give the surface enough time to cool before your next pass.3

Amazing product, yes, it does take some time to clear the headlight, but after its all done

It turns out not enough time had been spent reading the instructions

First time ever using one of these but worked really well and wasn't too difficult with the exception of hand cramps

My results were pretty good, not perfect, I can see some small scratching on the lenses where I didn't spend enough time with the last sanding pad

I used my corded drill the 2nd time and worked much better.

Takes a little time but works great

Works every time

Take the time to tape things off, or you will scratch your paint

Take your time and the results will not disappoint!

The first time I used this my results were decent

Zero complaints, just take your time and follow the directions.

it's only supposed to do one pair, but they were thrilled with the results all three times.

(Your time may vary, I just took my sweet time)Things you need to provide:• Masking tape to protect auto body paint around headlight• Spray bottle (fill it with water)• Microfiber cloths (get some cheap ones you can throw away after use)• UV headlight protectant spray- apply as last step (or buy the more expensive kit that includes the headlight wax)I've used other Headlight Restoration Kits (Turtle Wax & Meguiar's)

I used about three times as much and smeared it directly on the buffing pad

I've seen it time and time again and have been rewarded each and every time with headlights (relatively) suddenly made young.

It takes a lot more time than other products but well worth it if you have heavily "fogged over" lenses.

times faster and better then a human hand ever will.

People who say it ruined there head lights probably didn't spend enough time and rushed the process you have to move the sander constenly and spend a good 15 buffing the living crap out of the light it works!!

This product definitely takes some time and elbow grease, but it works pretty effectively

Not worth the time.

This is the second time I have used this kit and the results have been good both times

After watching a couple of tutorials online by various people, I finally carved out enough time to give it a try

It takes some time and patience to do right, but it's totally worth it

The first time I tried I did not spend enough time with the final sanding pad and did not use enough water

Take you time and it will work great.

Took my time and did not rush the process, and it really cleared the yellow haze from my lights.

Really worth the time and moderate expense!

Total time from I went out to clean the headlights, till I was all done, 2 protective coats, cleanup etc: 1 hour 45 minutes.

When used by following the instructions and taking the time - WOW just WOW!I took my time, I would recommend getting a strong cordless drill to actually get all the scratches out

Up close I can still see some fine circular scratches, but that’s probably because I didn’t spend enough time with the 3000 grit sandpaper

This was ideal timing to avoid the water / moisture evaporating

Spend enough time sanding each round before moving forward

I'll know next time not to worry about it

It is a time consuming project (1 - 2 hours), however well worth it once you see the before and after results.

and I trust their products 100% every time

Also when you do the 3000 grit or polishing stage....make sure you take your time and not miss any areas of the headlight

this thing legit worked really well just takes some time

Wow, I waited a long time to try this because I was afraid I would mess something up

I recommend major improvement however it takes some time but definitely worth it

Not worth the time or money.

Wasted time and money, so a 1.

I will still recommend even though not enough time has passed.

Takes some time, but works great!

I use this product many times to clean up customers lenses at my job and havent had any complaints yet.

As for longevity, it looks that you can use the pads a good several times afterwards, as long as you're mindful of usage

I was surprised how well it worked, especially since this was first time ever doing this

Takes time, just like every other headlight cleaner

Was easy to use, very effective, just time consuming

Just a note go light on the polishing compound at the end or you will spend more time cleaning that up than the project

Easy for first time use and alot cheaper.

Works great, time of job probably depends on experience with this type of product.

This is the 2nd time I've restored them, really happy.

I used painters blue tape and double taped (as recommended) around the headlamp *meticulously* (time spent now, saves time later)

All of the discs are waterproof to a certain degree and a disc that 'is no longer sanding' can be refreshed several times by washing it in water

My first time trying to clear up headlight lenses, so If I ever do it again, I would probably get even better results

It took some time, but dramatically cleared up some very foggylenses I had on a Honda

Took a little time and elbow grease to get them looking good, but this works.

Easy, just time consuming.

Definitely worth the time and effort.

Great results both times with this restore kit

but otherwise I’d recommend it 10/10 times.

Takes some time but works fantastic

Love this product, this is the 2nd time I've bought it

Easy to use, just take your time and it will work great

Easy to use, just take your time and it will work great

Don't waste your time using other products, 3M has the highest reputation and this product really works, my headlights are like new, very impressed with this product.

Make sure you put enough time on 3000 grits and polishing, result is amazing!

It starts at 500 grit, which is excessively high and results in wildly inefficient time spent.

It took some time but it worked

The two kits worked out nicely, time will tell how long the clear coat works.

The two kits worked out nicely, time will tell how long the clear coat works.

I didn’t spend enough time on the first lens with the rougher discs, although this car was difficult due to the curvature of the lens

Take time to operate patiently and the results will amaze

Oh, and I recommend buffing several times over

It takes a little time and elbow grease, but it works.

It took a little under 2 hours to complete but the time and work was worth it

I had previously used a different kit that involved manual wet sanding and the results were not that great (probably because I didn't spend enough time sanding.)

I only spent about $25-30, plus a little free time on the weekend

I probably would have scuffed my paint a few times if I didn't

just follow the instructions and put the hard work in to it, take your time, make sure no rain that day, and you will love the end result.

Well worth the time and cost since new lights for my car go for around $350.00 each!

Just take your time and trust the process.

I set on a little foot stool out in the shade and had actually a pleasant time on this chore.

I took my time, followed the directions, and I really like the

It took me about an hour to do, but I do wish I would have taken a little more time and slowed down

Just take your time and don’t freak out when your headlights look worse after the first two applications of the sanding disks on the lens

For me, I had a spot that I didn’t spend enough time sanding

Works fantastic, just make sure you spend enough time getting the micro scratches buffed out.

Not really worth the time and money it took to get mine half yellow

This product takes some time to do it right, but worth the results

Second time around the results were AMAZING!!

As instructed the right time put in here will ensure great results

but once I looked at the before and after pictures I definitely felt the time was worth it

Make sure you don't spend too much time in one spot or you may burn the plastic, which makes for extra work to clean up

Works great just takes time

Well worth the time and money

Time will tell how long these last with the lens' hard facing damaged and now ground and polished to perfection.

My only regret is not taking more time while doing it.

Take your time and keep the pad moving to prevent burning the plastic.

Worked great the 2nd time

However, I was having such a hard time seeing at

Be sure to use lots of tape around the headlights, at least 3 layers - you'll be glad you did, the first time your drill skips of the lense.

Worked pretty well - didn't take that much time - well worth the money

Each time you use it gets easier

Take your time and follow the instructions step by step and you'll love the end results

n’t go wrong.

The rubbing compound seems like T-Cut so could use that with the product in the future

Does what it says,a t a good price

didn,t work well at all

n’t think they’d clear up

Lenses were clouded by original factory coating which was chipping off and clear in some spots, sanded down entire lens with provided pads, I frequently beat dust out of sanding pads and wiped lense surfaces down with clean t-shirt rags because build-up of dust in grit happens quickly and will mar the work.

n’t regret it.

n’t work I would go for something that has buffing compound and buff

n’t b disappointed

n’t believe how well this product worked

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.

3M is the best

I did purchase the 3M clear coat kit in addition to this kit

I've used it on 5 cars now, over the past ten years, and am very impressed by the fact that 3M continues to improve it

I had purchased other products like this before, but I think 3M has done its homework the best.

3M is the best!

Great job, 3M.

I've tried almost every other headlight restoration system out there, and 3M's is absolutely the best.

Get the 3M UV Protection part number 39173 to apply at the end....or you will be doing this dance again within 2-3 months.

Couldn't thank 3M enough for this product

I've attached photos of my headlights - before, after the restoration kit, and after applying 3M clear coat wipes

This 3M kit worked like a charm to restore my Evo headlights

If you have already purchased the 'better' 3M kit, you will already have the drill attachment with the velcro backing

I used this on my truck but also used the "3M Quick Headlight Clear Coat"

Couldn't thank 3M enough for this product

thanks 3M!

Get the 3M UV Protection part number 39173 to apply at the end....or you will be doing this dance again within 2-3 months.

3M obviously has this whole abrasive thing down to a science, and their science works extremely well

I trust 3M.

Great job 3M!!!

After sanding and buffing the headlight is like new again, and the 3M

But I trusted 3M and by the 4 and final step the lights looked like brand new.

The headlights were turning hazy on my 2004 Honda Accord and found this kit on sale and ordered it along with the 3M clear coat wipes (ASIN - B079QL8BYK).

Highly recommend sealing it with the 3M clear coat kit after it looks great and was very easy to apply.

Do yourself a favor and buy a separate box of 3M Hookit Gold Disk 00912 pads (50 discs) which is more than enough to do the job.

Used the 3M Clear Coat after the Restoration Kit

I also purchased the 3M clear coat to apply on the headlights after polishing for protection against UV.

After using this kit the headlights did not look much better than they did, however, after using the 3M Quick Headlight Clear Coat there was a massive difference

3M came highly recommended to use for headlight restoration

Repeat on the next headlight and admire your work!!Follow up with the Recommended 3M clear coating
