Overview

This 3M Headlight Lens Restoration Kit is a collection of professional-grade products assembled specifically for removing the cloudy, yellowed haze that builds up on automotive headlight lenses.

They include complete directions, 3M Trizact sanding discs, pads, tape and polishes.

Collision Repair, Headlight Restoration, Automotive
How Does it Work?

The 3M Headlight Restoration Kit restores clear plastic lenses in a way that standard cleaners cannot. This convenient system requires just four simple steps. First, apply high-performance masking tape to the painted surfaces around the lens you are restoring (some kits include 3M Automotive Masking Tape). Use a progressive system of Trizact abrasive discs to remove yellowing, scratches, dirt, haze, and other material buildup on the plastic lens. With or without a common household drill, Hookit attachment system makes it easy – just slap the disc onto a pad, and you’re ready to go. A choice of Headlight Restoration Kits features 3M Scratch Remover or 3M Rubbing Compound to achieve maximum shine and clarity. Then, using a soft cloth, apply a light coating of 3M Synthetic Wax Protectant. Remove the masking tape, and you’re finished.

Easy to Use

  • Choose a kit with no tools required, or for use with a common household drill
  • Simple 4-step process lets you restore lenses in under an hour
  • Save hundreds over replacing headlight lenses

Restore Your Headlights Without Replacing Them

Rather than using ineffective solvents – or spending big on new headlight lenses – you can choose a 3M Headlight Lens Restoration Kit. A complete system of light abrasives, polishes and protectants removes scratches, dirt and oxidization that can appear on your lenses, lowering your vehicle’s value and reducing safe driving visibility. You can choose a kit that lets you restore headlight lenses without tools. Or, with just a spray water bottle and a common household drill, you can use the full kit with a complete range of abrasive discs for sanding, finishing and refining to remove discoloration that can cause your headlights, tail lights, fog and directional lights to appear cloudy and yellow – for a fraction of the cost and time of buying and installing new lenses. Each kit includes everything you need to restore two headlight lenses.

About Trizact Abrasives

The abrasive in 3M Trizact abrasive discs for headlight restoration is so fine that you can sand across the plastic lenses without worrying about creating scratches or other damaging marks. 3M Trizact abrasives feature microreplication – small 3-dimensional structures are reproduced and then uniformly distributed over the surface of the disc. These patterned, precise mineral structures contain multiple layers of abrasive mineral. As the structures wear, fresh, sharp mineral is exposed. The result is that the abrasive cuts faster, stays sharper longer and allows for precise finish control – it removes the yellowing, dirt buildup and small scratches that can cause haze, without damaging the lens itself.

Why Do You Need Headlight Restoration?

Today's vehicles have a greater number of plastic components, from plastic headlight lenses to motorcycle windshields, plastic tail lights, trailer lights and more. Plastic components are great for durability and reducing overall weight, but they can yellow and haze with weather, sun and sand, limiting visibility and diminishing the appearance and value of the vehicle. While the impact on a vehicle's value varies, the dangers in terms of limited visibility are clear: It is a factor in 2.8 million accidents, 23,000 fatal crashes and 2,300 pedestrian deaths each year, according to the Motor Vehicle Lighting Council. Dim headlight bulbs and hazy plastic headlight lenses or surfaces may lead to this reduced visibility, putting you, your passengers and other cars at risk. The AAIA Car Care Council found that 26 percent of the cars it inspected had issues with their lighting system. Millions of cars on the road today have plastic headlight lenses. The problem increases with the age of the lens, and with the average age of cars on the road about 10 years old, the problem is growing. That is why it is important to correct hazy, dull headlights.

Product Description

A 5 step process that restores the clarity of yellowed, hazy, or dull headlight lenses. 3M Headlight Restoration Kit contains sanding discs and polishing pad with compound. No tools required. This kit can be used on trailers, snowmobiles, emergency vehicle light bars, plastic motorcycle light and other plastic lenses. It will help to improve nighttime visibility and appearance of vehicle.

Customers are mixed about the color of the vehicle light assembly.

"...you probably don't need the kit but the kit has everything you need and the instructions are spot on...." Read more

"...it is a cheap kit, so of course it comes with cheap wax. and sanding, even with an electric tool, is a lot of work...." Read more

"...The major shortcoming of this kit is that it does not include clear coat for sealing...." Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Way better option than replacing the whole headlight! Looks fantastic, worked exactly as described.
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2019
As you can see in the pictures, my headlights were in rough shape! The ones with the blue painters tape are the before shots. This is my company work truck, has over 325k miles, I drive it a minimum 35k a year. Many of these trips are fully coast to coast (Maine to California) and the front end gets so beat by the big trucks on I-80 kicking up crap, all the bugs, salt and sand in the winter... you get the picture. I didn’t want to have to spend a few hundred bucks to have Toyota replace the lights with how many miles it has now, but they were pathetically dim due to the scratches and other wear on the outer lenses. Figured it couldn’t possibly hurt to give this a shot for a fraction of the cost of replacing them. As you can clearly see in the pictures, they look amazing. And honestly the pictures don’t do it justice, the amount of light now coming through is like I switched on the high beams. Highly recommend this product. Instructions are easy to follow and everything you actually need to do it is in the package. Only things not provided are some decent soft towels, a spray bottle of water, and painters tape (my trucks paint is a joke but figured I’d keep it from looking any worse!) Opening the hood makes them much easier to get to. I didn’t need all the sanding pads and my headlights were ROUGH, like actually rough. Kept front end out of the sun, it was probably 75 degrees out and for once not super humid. I’m sure you don’t want them being really hot from the sun or freezing, as keeping them consistently wet in the last few steps is really important. Took a good amount of work and it clearly states in the instructions the time you put in sanding and smoothing them out is ultimately what will make the difference between them coming out just ok or really good. Will definitely get this again if I need it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Such an Easy Kit to Use! My First Time Trying and It Works Great!
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2020
I thought I bought the kit with the drill attachment and I was bummed at first because the yellow build up was so bad on my Mom's car. Since I wanted her to see better at night and for others to see her car, I decided to try it anyway.

This is a hand only, no tool required kit. After following the steps and spending about 20 minutes per headlight, I am AMAZED with the results! It actually removed all of the yellow crud! I still have some discs and solution for another set of headlights too!

This kit is $15. A professional detailer will cost you around $25-$50 per headlight. You even save hundreds because you don't have to buy new headlights! I love the fact that we did this for a YouTube video on our channel "The Sinister Camaro." Feel free to check it out in our car care maintenance playlist to see how incredible it looks. We will be getting another kit for sure!

Things to note:
- This comes with the instructions, different sand paper pads, polish, and Velcro/squeegee pad.
- This does NOT include masking tape, newspaper, wax sealant, or headlight renew.
- Wax will be needed every so often to protect the headlight from the elements, so it will not happen again (I recommend wax on headlights even when it is new, so this is not an added step just to keep the yellow off).
- If you do start to see the yellow buildup again after a few months, all you need is an easy spray solution of headlight renew. Easy spray on and wipe off instead of this sandpaper process.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day!
