Tell us how long it lasts, I give it a few days before it starts to haze over again.
I find most of the quick fixes and kits don't give great or long lasting results. I recently spent $30 for a headlight renewal service at Sam's, similar to the kits but they use heat to bake on the chemicals. 5 year warranty, including against chemicals (adhesive removed damaged it on our van).

This is what professionals use on aircraft canopies and windscreens.

Spraying chemicals won't do a thing. They need yo be polished and given a new UV coat. I did my MINIs lights a year ago and they turned out OK but they are back to crap again. It's weird how som e lights go crusty and others dont.

Never said this was a permanent fix. Took me three minutes to do an Audi A4. If it last a few months, how much time are you hoping to save...and why all the negativity ?
Any of you nay sayers tried it yet? .

It's all about the plastic's chemistry. Some break down in UV, some don't.

I've got a lot of scratches on mine, no uv issues though. I imagine a good polish will shine em up

Seems to me that this would be a great way to clean up the headlights to sell a car. They'll start noticably hazing again after a week or so.

A friend has a 1997 Honda Accord wagon. He has had it since new.
The lenses are as clear today as they were in 1997 and this thing has never been in a garage. Maybe everyone is waiting for Honda's patent to expire before copying their formula? |
