headlight restoration tips and tricks

[DieselMan]

I recently did a headlight restoration on the headlights and was not pleased. I used 1 pack for the left and right and this style required attaching the pieces to a drill. Would you recommend using 1 pack for each side? Any other tips to get this to what the ads are showing or is this some kind of snake oil product like the stop leak products? Thanks.

which kit did you use? Restoring badly oxidized headlights requires that you remove as completely as possible, the oxidation on the surface of the light – if you can’t grind through that, you won’t have a clear lens when you are done. Also – if there is any damage, dirt, debris, etc. on the inside, that will still be there after you finish the outside of the lens. Can you post a picture of the result you achieved?
