Default Amazing Headlight restoration product

Some of you may remember I posted a photo of my headlights after restoration a couple of years ago. I used various drill mounted abrasives and each light took about an hour. Result was great but over the last two years they got bad again.
I decided to try this new product even though I felt its claims unlikely for such apparent little effort. It's called 'Headlight Restore.us
Both lights like new in only two minutes! I was going to post a photo but that facility seems to have disappeared.

Hope it works, just purchased 2 sets on line. Saves taking bumpers off.
Will post my results once purchase arrives!

I'm back!
Here is finished result after just two minutes !

It's quite amazing. There are three sealed sachets. You just open the first one , unfold the little wet paper (like restaurant hand wipes) and literally just wipe the first headlight, then dry it with a paper towel. Repeat for other headlight. Then open the third sachet, this time don't unfold the moist paper , just wipe over both lights and allow to dry.
Stand back and admire the results!

Looks great. I just ordered a double pack (2 cars) for $25 USD delivered to Canada. Thanks.

Interesting - I wonder how it works?

20 min polishing (just by hand with a cloth) yesterday using PlastX polish got us from this...



to this...



but there's still room for further improvement. Not sure if the photos show the difference but it was quite significant... ;-)
