This was very easy and so far so good. Been about 3-4 weeks and these headlights look like new. Took me less than an hour following the instructions and the results are great. Wish I could attach before and after pics. Explanation does not do this product justice. Give it a shot. I was skeptical at first.

The end result looks great - I did the headlight project as a surprise for my husband, and he was impressed! The headlights now look new. Be sure to read and follow the enclosed instructions twice, and also helpful to watch the video. I did the project outside since there isn't a garage I could use, and it is pretty messy. I broke the project into two days because there was quite a bit of time involved in washing, prep, gathering materials for cleaning, setting up a work station, and drying time before evening dew set in, etc. First day was washing, prep, sanding coarse and medium grit. The second day was sanding the fine grit, clear coat and drying time. The more you work on the sanding, the better the headlights look - it is a lot of rubbing, and though not hard, my arms were sore! Things I appreciated- having the clear instructions and video, the correct amount of sandpaper, the grit numbers on the sandpaper, the special paper towels, the glove to protect hand from clear coat, and plenty of cleaner and clear coat. Things wished for - giving a realistic sense of how long the project would take. It seems like it would be a snap, but actually took me around three to four hours to accomplish. I should have started in the morning, not afternoon. There was not enough time to allow for clear coat drying before evening dew fall (freshly applied clear coat can't get wet) so breaking project into two days worked best for me. Thanks Sylvania, for making such a nice, complete kit for car owners to use. The headlights are so much brighter and safer now, I'm very glad I used the kit.

My 2007 VW Rabbit has crystal clear headlights again! They look like they're brand new. The kit wasn't difficult to use - the instructions were good. Took me several hours only because I'm slow. Recommend highly!
I would recommend this to a friend!

One of my 2014 Acadia headlights gets full sun every day and was truly opaque with haze. The other is mostly shaded and was about 50% hazed. Nighttime driving was really getting murky. Followed the directions. Spent some extra time with each of the grit papers, especially on the worst light. Everything went as the online Sylvania depicted. After the final sanding and rinse and dry, each clear coat swipe transformed BOTH headlights to an equally glorious unbelievable clarity!

I have used this particular product at least three times over the last five years or so. Latest was September 17, 2022. Great results! But I must say you must work up a sweat to smooth out those headlights with the three different grit sandpapers. Good thing my son was around to smooth out one of the headlights. Haha. My tip is to cut each sandpaper in half and use one half for each headlight. I also restored the fog lights at the same time! Use a spray bottle with water during the sanding. So much easier. In the last step I always wonder why the instructions state to apply a thick coating of the clear coat; the liquid is just rather thin ....can't really make a thick coat especially when instructions say not to repeat the coating. Maybe that's why I need to repeat this entire process about every 18 months or less with another purchase of the kit. I have not taken advantage of their guarantee. I definitely will next time. I purchased the kit directly from Sylvania and uploaded the receipt from them.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had a friend do the restoration for me. He viewed the video several times to make sure he understood the process. Did not take long to complete at all. Came out well. And I still have extra product sans sandpaper to do it again if necessary. I hope it holds up!
