Last night I attempted to clean up the left headlight which had some haze on the top surface. I used this kit, based on recommendations here.
3M Headlight Restoration Kit, Simple Process to Restore Cloudy & Dull Headlights, Hand Application, 1 Kit (39084)
Amazon product ASIN B006VB8JTQ
The kit is fine, although I assumed it would work with a drill but it’s meant to be used by hand. After a few passes of the lower grit sanding I retrofitted it to be used with a drill, which definitely sped up the process. Anyway, the results looked excellent for about 10 minutes, until I sprayed some headlight sealant from Superwrap on it to protect it from UV. I must’ve sprayed it too thick because it immediately developed spider cracks all over.
Back to the drill and sandpaper tomorrow for another try...
