cheapest 3m headlight resoration kit
currently the cheapest I have seen the 3M headlight restoration kit
https://www.amazon.co.uk/3M-39073-Re...estoration+kit I have used it once and got great results. As I had a £10 voucher for Halfords I got a Meguiars One Step Headlight Restoration Kit for £7.60. First thing I notice is the Meguiars kit does not have "wet and dry discs" for a drill attachment. They are small double sided wet and dry squares that require elbow grease. I have 5 sets of Face Lift head lights to do with another set that will need doing in due course. I thought I had 3 spare sets then found a forth... opps I think I'll rig up some form of mounting jig for the lights. macafee2 Last edited by macafee2; 8th December 2018 at 09:11.. |

Ive used this product before with excellent results.
Beware the tape is not sufficient enough to stop the discs from cutting through and damaging your paintwork around the lamps. I would use cardboard or much thicker tape next time. Otherwise its great!

Dont forget if you want to do the job properly, to spray 2pac UV resistent laquer back over the surface.

I agree, the green tape is useless, but it still managed to peel my lacquer off when peeling back the tape.
