Well I bought this product today from harbour freight tools for 20 bucks. I have just recently purchased a 2001 gsr integra that had black painted tail lights. Since I'm gonna be driving this car to work and it has to pass inspection I needed the paint gone. Well I took some advice from a friend and wet sanded the lights with 220 grit sand paper then 500 grit and 1000grit, all done by hand. Well I had this renewal kit that I thought was just a polishing kit but it had sand paper in it as well so I took out the 800 grit disk and did a once over of the lights. I then took the 3000 grit disk and ran over the lights like directed. Now the lights look good but I had to use the final step with the rubbing compound and foam disk. I could not believe the shine that this left behind. These lights look brand new and I can not wait to try his product on my headlights as well. I would recommend this to anyone with dull or painted lights. On to the pics.

Before anything was done.


After hand sanding.


Back on the car after compound.


I will take more pictures when I take the "eyelids" off the headlights.

 

I decided to go ahead and do the low beams to see what it will look like before I take off the eyelid paint. This product is amazing. I followed the directions to a "T" and this is what they looked like after compared to the high beams.

 

i never really understood why ppl do that stupid crap.. i weather have ppl see me puting on my brakes day or night.. my ek hatch had dark azz black paint on the taillights and i almost got rearend the night i bought it

if i remember right i used oven cleaner

 

Just make sure you wax your headlights and tailights... because after all that sanding (or even yellowing from the elements) they lose their UV protection... so u gota protect them somehow continuously... most people get them re-cleared too

 

The kit comes with a protectant that you use as the last step. It's a rubbing compound.

 

Here is the finished product.

 

i sand mine with 600 til all the imperfections are out of them, then reclear, you can also tint the clear with a few drops of whatever color base coat youd like. or just wet sand and buff.

 

3M kit straight sucks. Wash the car a few times and let us know how you feel about their product. Best solution to fixing hazy lights is to sand and spray a new clear coat on them

 

x2 otherwize your going to be in the same position with hazy/yellow lights 3-4 months later

 

I need to do this to my 2K civic as the headlights do nothing at night. How do I know if it is external lens or internal lens issue?

 

same car, same problem... I sanded and polished them and it looked good for a few months, then the haziness came back. Then I just replaced them... but I also had a some broken tabs which is why I didnt just reclear them.
