Best Headlight restoration kit

Post by benben » Mon Sep 01, 2014 3:37 am

Post which headlight restoration kit is the best in your opinion.

E.g. 3M kit (39045)? or maybe this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASI ... os_product

Thanks for the reply, I purchased the 3M (39045) one and it says It comes with a protectant that helps against uv protection, is this as good as the uv protector that maguiars has?
Obiously I don't want to do it again in a few months...

Maguires didn't have a sealant but was easy to do as you had a drill attachment to buff with

Wet and dry, gradually getting finer before polishing and a coat of wax to protect against UV.
