So I decided to restore my headlamps today but didn't have a drill to buff as most kits require, went to my neighbor to ask to borrow his, no prob and off I was to buy a kit at advance autoparts.


First reaction was to buy a 3m kit as a previous poster suggested. (after reading his post, I was inspired) when I got to the counter, I asked the gent if he thought this was a good product, he said it's good but not the best. I asked what was the best and he said CV headlamp restore. It came in a chrome shiny box and at first glance wouldn't have been my first choice. Well here's the results!
Before



after





Best part is that it comes with this crazy sealant so it's supposed to last a lifetime...... We'll see. Comes with sand paper, small microfiber cloths, polish, sealant and glove for $25 bucks. And I didn't need a drill!!!!!!!

 

gonna use lamin-x and will last forever
I used drill and it took minutes...
nice to see someone using elbow grease

 

the results look great

did u have to take the lights apart or did u just buff and polish the outside?

 

How Many threads are we gonna have of this????????????????????...?

you've been a member since '06, so u must know this type of fix has been posted over a zillion times on this forum.

meh..

 

It looks good!

 

that turned out pretty good...can u post up a pic of the stuff you bought? if you haven't already thrown it away?

 

LMAO he just showin his work you know how many noobs we've had since 06 i dont but i bet theres a crap ton

 

Looks better!

 

Im more or less highlighting this specific brand. I guess I could have thread jacked someone and said "hey, I used this stuff and it works good" but then where's the fun in not having forum ***** come after you. And being a member since 06 doesn't mean I've been on this website every day since then.
But thank you sir for your positive feedback.

 

Just buffed and polished, only took about 10 mins a headlight

 

Looks good man I need to do mine soon...

 

interesting

my problem lies on the inside if im not mistaken but im sure a good buff wouldnt hurt either.

thanks
