3M headlight restoration kit

mininuts · 26th August 2015, 22:26

I know there's a lot of talk about headlight restoration and the different methods and kits that people use.
Just wanted to say that the 3M kit is the dogs danglies! Did mine today with ease and the results are fantastic. Easy to use and guaranteed to sort your lights.

A highly recommended purchase if you're in the market for restoring your headlamps.
Thanks to Rick-sta as it was you who first brought the kit to my attention

That is what I use too.
Takes time to do properly but results are very good indeed.

I spent about an hour on each light and they do look like they are new. Superb!

One before. And one after.

Gave a dam good washing and pre buff treatment.

And started into them.

End result.

Did the Dizzle again yesterday with my 3m kit, its getting a bit tired now as its 3 years old and done a few cars, managed with just the 800/3000 and then the sponge and T-Cut as i've run out of the 3m polish.

Going to try some Dynaglaze sealant on top of the polish to see if it seals any better, as my last session lasted about 2.5 years. before going cloudy again.
