Anyone Ever Used this Kit on their Headlights?

Looks too good to be true, but much easier than cooking and replacing the lenses!

I have never used it, but it looks interesting.

You know what they always say about something that is too good to be true.

Again

Again--if your headlight is just yellowed use some Brasso and then Rain-X after. If it is extremely bad you might use some 2000 grit wet sandpaper first. This is about the cheapest solution I know and is quite effective. There are other plastic polishes but they usually cost significantly more.

I've never used it but Permatex is a reputable company, it's probably similar to Novus plastic polish.
The brasso route works pretty good, gonna have to do mine again before Reading.....

I've used it. It works pretty good. Yellows back to where it was in about 3 or 4 months depending on how hot it is. Summertime kills it faster. But then... just do it again.

It's plastic polish with it's own rag under a kewler name and an even kewler box.

It must be a reflection of your inner evilness

Looks too good to be true, but much easier than cooking and replacing the lenses!

I have a 1994 SVX, and my lens are not yellow. But I also put Carnauba wax on my head light lens and wax my head lights when I wax my whole car. I also wax my turn signal, tail lights etc... My reasoning is that since car wax fights oxcidation and weathering, it might protect the plastic lenses from yellowing. I also use a polishing machine to take the wax off. At least I don't have to go back in and put Armour All on the plastic parts over the areas. Just my theory on the matter.
