3M Headlight Restoration Kit
Details
- Kits contain masking tape, light sanding discs, wax protectant and more
- For use on plastic lenses – headlights, taillights, fog lights, directional lights and more
- 3M abrasive technology removes yellowing and buildup without damaging plastic lens surface
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. Kits use a system of light abrasives to keep vehicles looking great and save money vs. replacing expensive lenses. They include complete directions, 3M Trizact sanding discs, pads, tape and polishes.
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.

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!

If you have smooth, exterior surfaces to polish, this will work. If you are after the other areas, apply this money to replacements on CARiD or similar vendor.
In the past tried other companies products. Looked ok but had to repeat every 6 months.
This product has several steps to go thru.
All steps were easy, after reading tge directions a few times before stating I felt this seems to easy.
As I was doing each step it looked like I made it worse. But the 4th and 5th step left the lense looking new.
Applied 3m headlight clear coat, a separate purchase, headlights look even better.
Excellent product
