Restore Your Headlights Without Replacing Them

Rather than using ineffective solvents – or spending big on new headlight lenses – you can choose a 3M Headlight Lens Restoration Kit. A complete system of light abrasives and polishes removes scratches, dirt and oxidization that can appear on your lenses, lowering your vehicle’s value and reducing safe driving visibility. With just a spray water bottle and a common household drill, you can use the full kit with a complete range of abrasive discs for sanding, finishing and refining to remove discoloration that can cause your headlights, tail lights, fog and directional lights to appear cloudy and yellow – for a fraction of the cost and time of buying and installing new lenses. Each kit includes enough product to restore two headlight lenses.

How Does it Work?

The 3M Headlight Restoration Kit restores clear plastic lenses in a way that standard cleaners cannot. This convenient system requires just a few simple steps. First, apply high-performance masking tape (not included) to the painted surfaces around the lens you are restoring. Use a progressive system of Trizact abrasive discs to remove yellowing, scratches, dirt, haze, and other material buildup on the plastic lens. With a common household drill (not included), Hookit attachment system makes it easy – just slap the disc onto a pad, and you’re ready to go. Also includes 3M Rubbing Compound to achieve maximum shine and clarity. Remove the masking tape, and you’re finished.

About Trizact Abrasives The abrasive in 3M Trizact abrasive discs for headlight restoration is so fine that you can sand across the plastic lenses without worrying about creating scratches or other damaging marks. 3M Trizact abrasives feature microreplication – small 3-dimensional structures are reproduced and then uniformly distributed over the surface of the disc. These patterned, precise mineral structures contain multiple layers of abrasive mineral. As the structures wear, fresh, sharp mineral is exposed. The result is that the abrasive cuts faster, stays sharper longer and allows for precise finish control – it removes the yellowing, dirt buildup and small scratches that can cause haze, without damaging the lens itself.

Awesome results!

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

I really love the results of this product! It took me 4hrs total, but it was worth it to see the end results. This 13 year old stock headlights has never received any treatment and has major oxidation build up. The car is still in mint condition and has been touched up with paint a couple times, but this cloudy headlight was an eye sore! I read reviews before purchasing and was confident I can handle the work. I followed instructions carefully and went back and forth between the 800 grit and wet trizact 3000 sand before I moved onto the buffing with rubbing compound. As soon as I buffed out the lens, it was becoming more clearer! I was so amazed at the results, and proud of it! I also purchased and used the Meguire’s headlight clear coat to help protect the lens, which is supposed to last up to a year. I would definitely buy this again.
If you have patience and time, you will get the best results from this. It took me 2 hrs per headlight. Everything you need is provided in this kit, all you need is a hand drill (corded or cordless with extra fully charged battery packs), masking tape, a spray bottle with water, and lots of paper towels. I added photos and a time lapses video of my progress. I also worked on the fog lights the following day, picture is shown.

Head 2 Head, it's all in the effort

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

Having come into possession of two different products for auto headlight restoration, I thought I would try a head to head comparison, The two products are the 3M Headlight Restoration System (PN 39008) and the Meguiar's Perfect Clarity Headlight Restoration Two Step Kit (hereafter know as Meguiar's).

The headlights on my car had started to show the telltale opaqueness characteristic of sun damage and oxidation. I started with the more involved system by 3M - the process is to use a series of disks to first sand off the opaque layer and then imperfections in the surface left by the first disk to finer and finer scratches until you get to a frosted appearance and then polish the headlight cover with polishing compound until you get a clear surface. The Meguiar's product requires less steps in that you start with a rubbing compound and then after achieving the frosted appearance spray with a clear protective coating.

Effectiveness
- the 3M product left a clear un-yellowed headlight cover
- the Meguiar's product left a clear un-yellowed headlight cover
surprise, essentially they were in my opinion equally effective at restoring the headlights

Ease of use / Effort
- the 3M product took roughly 60-90 minutes to strip and buff a single headlight, note that this was done using a cordless drill (you may need an appropriate chuck as the kit attachment is smooth and round where my drill required a hex shank) making several passes and wiping down to assess progress before advancing to the next disk [ note that the instructions caution you to mask around the headlights to prevent damage to the paint, I would suggest multiple layers in the areas where the paint is most likely to get damaged, varying by car - I suggest this because I cut right through a single layer of tape in one area and scratched the paint ]
- the Meguiar's product took roughly 15-20 minutes, this was through intense side to side rubbing of the headlight with the applicator pad, adding more buffing compound as the surface became dry and wiping down to assess progress before the final spray on step [ note that you need to mask here as well, but now to protect against overspray from the protecting coat, also, be careful in your spray technique as it is possible to end up with drips due to too much spray application ]

Overall, as you can see from the attached before and after the both systems worked well, the difference being mostly in the length of time required to achieve the effect. Overall, I like the Maguiar's product better due to the reduced time (though the manual effort was more intense). P-)

3M Worked Well But Their Are Better Ones To Go With!

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

This kit worked very well in getting my granddaughter's headlight back to being clear instead of frosted and the only drawback I found was even though I taped around it since I was using a drill with their sanding attachments when it veered off the lens ever so slightly it would cut into the painter's tape and scuff the paint surrounding the headlight lens. I had used the Meguiar's 2-Step Headlight Restoration Kit Sanding and Polishing System G3000 that has a hand sanding head and uses water for wet sanding and although I had to exert more effort their system was much easier to control since I wasn't using my drill to sand with and their sanding pads which were using water weren't as aggressive as the dry sanding was with the 3M kit. If I use the 3M kit again I will definitely go with more layers of tape to try and protect the car's paint finish. I believe they stated to use 2 layers but I would probably add 3 or 4 next time. One other note is that with the 3M kit you are lucky to get one set of headlights cleaned with it but with the Meguiar's kit I was able to clean 2 headlight sets and still had quite a bit of polish and protective solution left in their bottles. 3M only provided a small pouch of their rubbing compound (but it was sufficient to work on 2 headlights) and you must buy their protective solution if you want to maintain the clarity for a while. I actually used some of the Meguiar's protective solution after using the 3M kit.

Easy fix for foggy headlights.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

Brilliant kit.
Easy to follow instructions, disc pad holder, gradients of sandpaper, foam buffer disc and rubbing compound.
Sand with lowest gradient, then higher gradient, then foam pad and water and finally foam buffer with compound.
I followed this with a separate purchase of a UV protectant cream, but looking to buy a clear film to cover the headlights.
Really pleased with results, from beginning to end it took me about 40 minutes, but that was me going back and redoing as I saw sanding marks. It is a bit of a shock at first when you first sand as you think “ I’m ruining this plastic ”, but once the yellowed plastic is sanded away and buffed they look like new headlights, as you can see in the photos.

I bought this after another headlight restoration kit failed. I ordered this on the strength of its reviews but unfortunately it did not work for me. The instructions were clear and there is a video to watch as well. Most of what you need is included apart from the automotive masking tape. I did the best I could and read and followed every instruction carefully but this product failed miserably for me and if anything made it worse.

Not perfect but not far off

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 31, 2016

Verified Purchase

Now this is worth the money as I used it on a 10 year old Astra plastic headlamp shield which had gone quite a nasty clouded colour. Follow the instructions closely as if you used a corded drill, it will probably rotate too fast, melt the plastic shield and gum up the sanding disc. I found that a cordless drill rotated at an acceptable speed.

It really works just follow instructions and it makes it much better. But ensure you have a good spot to be in as all the bending gave my knees some problems. Would have been excellent with a few more sanding pads and a long-lasting UV protectant but it looks great and passed the inspection for the lights.

Certainly did the trick, our headlights were very cloudy and aged the look of our car, but this brought them back to how they should look. Pack comes with a small roll of masking tape and plenty of sand paper for both lights. Can't say if it is going to last but the signs are promising. Highly recommend.

Best headlight restoration kit!

Reviewed in Canada on September 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

I'm a weekend warrior detailer and I've done over 20+ sets of headlight restorations. I've tried everything the market has to offer for headlight restorations, turtle wax, mother, meguiars, etc. I've even all the DIY methods like tooth paste, big spray, literally everything. But the 3M restoration kit blows them all out of the water! I use these sanding discs on my 3inch polisher, but it does come with a drill attachment which also works good. The headlights come out looking brand new every time. The only tip I would have is looking into a couple more grits to add to it, it comes with 500grit, 800grit and 3000grit I found I was getting even better results if I used a 1500grit in between the 800 and 3000. But aside from that, this is the best headlight restoration kit on the market!
Remember to always apply a sealant to headlights that you restored or they will fog up again.

This does an excellent job at cleaning headlights

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 13, 2017

Verified Purchase

This does an excellent job at cleaning headlights, but does not include any clear coat wipes, which seal and protect headlights from UV rays after having cleaned them. This does nor make sense other than they intend to let your headlights go misty and foggy again so that you have to keep buying the product. Would advise you get some separately or buy a kit with it already included!

Had the kit for a while and finally got round to using it. Very pleased with the results, the lens was particularly hazy so i am not surprised it didn't manage to restore it back to 'like new'. The issues that remain appear to be on the inside of the glass. The instructions and included items are very clearly labelled and laid out. Would use the kit again.
