Thumbs up New guy here, my headlight restoration experiences

I just did that headlight restoration thing using the 3M kit available at WalMart for $18. We bought a (2001 105k miles) PT Cruiser a couple of weeks ago, and one headlight badly needed to be polished. It looked like the other was new, replaced when crash damage was repaired I guess. Anyway, after doing the first one, the other looked old and yellow!!! So I just did the final three stages on it, starting with the p800 pad. You can see the debris that came off had a yellow tint to it (pic 8 of 9). Now they are both crystal clear. It really works, and didn't take much effort. If it wasn't so darned muggy outside, I could have taken my time and have them looking like new. As is, they look GREAT anyway.

I also "touched up" our 1997 Grand Caravan - they were only hazed near the top. Didn't give them the full treatment as I wanted to make sure I had enough materials for the PT. They still look much better than they did..
