Question In your opinion?

Which do you assume works best at restoring a scratched/dull headlight lens?

1. http://www.noscratch.com/novus/number3.shtml

2. http://lensrenew.com/

Has anyone in here ever used any of these two products?
Post before and after pics. Thanks!

I used a similar product. Worked pretty good for the price. Unfortunately they re-oxidize quicker and are now hazey again. Not as bad but not as good as they were.

There is a product I'm been trying to find. I had a link but lost it. It was a cover you put over your headlights, like an acrylic film. You first wet sand and buff the headlights to get a great like-new finish then put these on and they bond with the plastic preventing further oxidation and scratching. If anybody know what I'm talking about speak up and let me know where those are. They were like $50-$60 I think.

A new one's best, but I've heard the lensrenew or however it's spelled, is better.

Sr. Eric "The Great" has returned

It's about freaking time. I was beginning to think that you would
never return.


Good to have you back.

One of my headlamps was very hazy and I did the wet-sand procedure. I started wetsanding with 400 grit and then moved to 600 grit and then to 1200 grit. It helps if you put some dishwashing detergent into the water when you dip the sandpaper. Also - use a good, solid sanding block (from Home Depot). After that I used the Meguiar's plastic liquid polish and the headlamp looked good as new. After a few months and it still looks good...
