Probably better suited for the "Detailing" forum, but what the hey....
In the aviation field, dealing with acrylic windscreen deterioration is a battle, with the consequences being much more expensive than a headlamp lens.
This company makes a great line of plastic restoration products, including a automobile headlamp kit.
The package directions are very straight forward. It takes around 20 minutes to do a headlamp. Very easy job, and really "spiffs" up the look of your car, all for a whopping 20 bucks. I think the kit should do at least 10 lenses (my estimate).
throw in four H7 65watt rally bulbs from Daniel Stern Lighting Consultancy and Supply and you are all set.
Once again thanks for the write up
my method is a home made kit and starts with much finer wet paper.It appears the kit you found does a very nice job.
Thanks for another entry to the DIY thread, G-AMG. I was lucky enough to get mine done for free by some kind folks at a body shop while they were fixing some other stuff. But yours is almost that easy.
Take care and enjoy the better-lit ride,
Greg

I just did mine, no kit, just 800, 1000, 1500 and 2000 grits sand papers. For buffing, I use the scratch off (from Wally World) and a rotary buffer. I was not expecting it to turn out so good as my lenses were hazing and quite yellowish. Any how, here's the result:
Thanks, just follow the diyer's footstep. Since I was on a roll, I actually spent a few more hours to wash and hand wax my car for the 1st time in years. And now it does look a lot shinier overall. Maybe Leatherique will be next but time is tight for me with these beautification projects.
