Usage Guide for Meguiar's Headlight Restoration Kits

Meguiar's offers various headlight restoration kits to help restore your headlights. Depending on their severity and level of oxidation of your headlights, you can choose the headlight restoration kit that is right for you.

For moderately oxidized headlights, Meguiar’s headlight lens correction kit is an easy do-it-yourself kit that requires nothing more than a little elbow grease and contains everything needed to beautify the headlights of any car.

If you are more inclined to use a drill-operated system, then Meguiar’s 1-Step headlight restoration kit and the drill-operated “easy buff” wool pad will help you in restoring your headlights to like-new clarity.

To restore clarity to severely neglected, oxidized and yellowed headlights, then Meguiar’s recommends you use its heavy duty headlight restoration kit. The kit’s sanding pads and finishing discs, along with the “easy buff” wool pad will restore the even the most oxidized headlights.

    99+% Restoration of totally fogged headlights

    99+% Restoration of totally fogged headlights
    My wife’s Kia Sorento’s plastic headlights were so scratched, oxidized, and fogged over – we drove with the high-beams on most of the time, and no oncoming traffic flashed us. After getting a quote of nearly $1,500 from the dealer to replace both light assemblies – I decided to try restoring them myself. I watched a lot of videos and reviewed a lot of products before I made my decision and acted. Here is what I did: I purchased (on Amazon) a kit of 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000, 2500, and 3000 grit wet/dry silicon carbide sandpaper. Using a high-speed orbital finishing sander, I stepped through each grade of paper while constantly keeping the surface wet with a spray bottle of water with a few drops of dishwashing detergent. I used the most time with the 1000, 2500, and 3000 grits – first to really get the deep scratches and oxidation out, and lastly to remove any scratches from the sandpaper.After sanding, I used the same orbital sander with a terry-cloth pad and the Meguiar’s PlastX Polish. I used two pads per headlight, and this polished the lenes to near perfection. I then used a soft cotton pad to dry polish the lenes and remove any traces of the PlastX. After taping off the bumper and grill, I applied the Meguiar’s Headlight Coating per the instructions.All told, this process took about 5 ½ hours total, including taping, water bottle refills, etc. The results are simply amazing! I regret not taking “before” photos… but I assure you, one could NOT see the actual lights behind the lenses. The after photo shows the “like new” results. I hope it lasts at least a few years…

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing product, works incredibly well
    Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2023
    See my before and after photos. I used Plastx on our very old 2009 Honda CRV. The headlight assemblies were yellowed and cloudy like you typically see on old cars that have been outside a lot. However, with a simple application of this product, the cloudiness and yellowing have basically disappeared! The clarity of the headlights is incredible to see.

    To be fair, it isn’t a perfect restoration. It won’t touch deep scratches and pitting like from rocks and debris that have left marks in the plastic, and it appears that there is some cloudiness to the INTERIOR surface of the plastic headlight assembly, so of course this won’t fix that. Even so, this product performs as described, and I’m quite impressed. For such a small time and money investment, you get mega improvement for your old headlamps. 100% worth it; 100% recommended. The look of the car is much nicer, and the effect on road illumination while driving with the lights on is better too.

    Note: this is not a long term fix on its own. I have done this twice now, once about 16 months ago, and again now in 3/2023. Since my initial use, the cloudiness and yellowing have returned. Still, another application of the product clears it right up. To preserve the clarity, you do need the clear coat spray, also offered by Maguire’s. I got the clear coat protector this time around, which will maintain the restored look for about a year according to the label.
