Instructions are too small to read.
on November 14, 2024

Verified Purchase:No
The instructions are printed on a postage stamp-sized paper insert. There is a website where they say directions/instructions exist that can be read. Unfortunately, the website is written in an even smaller type and is italicized.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

o Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate your feedback as we strive to be the go-to for customers' automotive needs. If you go online to sylvania-automotive.com, click on the option at the top of the page that says "Accessories and kits", when you click on the Headlight Restoration Kit and scroll down, there is a How-To video to watch if you prefer that to trying to read the fine print. I apologize for any inconvenience.

it worked well. But I had to work well too.

I researched, and found a lot of comparison videos on YouTube with regards to headlight restoration. I realized that you have to put the effort and care into using Sylvania Headlight Restorer. I preferred that tools were not required. It was a lot of effort to hand wet sand my yellowed headlight lenses. But, the result was really great. When you apply the UV sealer-protector at the end of the process you just get blown away by the result. Virtually like new, clear.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The headlamp appears to be very foggy after the treatment

The headlamp is very foggy after the treatment. It does not reflect to what it is describing in the kit. The lense is very unclear after the application. I am not satisfied with the product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I would not buy again

I spent a lot of time wet sanding the lenses. I wish I would have bought a kit that was used using a drill attachment to sand more. Probably because my lenses were very oxidized.My lenses are better than when I started but did not meet my expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Time consuming but looks like new when done properly

The first lens didn't come out good because I didn't sand it enough, so I started over, but I used all of the compound, which means I had to go buy a new lens cleaner kit from 3m.

Made our headlights worse!
on December 16, 2024
Posted by: Douglas
from San Diego, CA, USA
Verified Purchase:No
After spending ~2 hours on two vehicles following the instructions (both written and video) from the company, the results of the effort can be seen in my photos. The lenses of the headlights are cloudy; but what's worse is that the cloudiness is inconsistent across the lenses. This product made the situation worse! I shudder to find out what terrible effect this result has on the light beam of my headlights. DO NOT PURCHASE!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
