Bought this with a sanding kit after watching videos saying both work well. Sanded one light and polished at end. Decided to forgo sanding on second headlight, took care of heavily yellowed plastic and looked better than sanded headlight. Well worth the money. Also great to polish watches.

Great for final buffing headlights via drill after wet sanding them with 2500 grit.

I drive about 1500 miles per month, so I buff out my headlights (and spray them with Meguiars headlight sealant) a minimum of once a year (usually twice a year) and this stuff works great. The healdight spray sealant is also great stuff. Follow the instructions. Don't use in cold weathter.

My headlights were very yellow and fogged up. I applied it 3 times and now very clear.

Average, says "do not use on coated plastic" on the bottle. Did not do a good job on my cars black plastic trim. Headlights ok though.

I used this on 24 year old yellowed headlights. It's real easy to use, basically you wipe it on and wipe it off. It brought the headlights back to clear, which kind of surprised me. They're not perfect, because of age, but they're clean looking now and better than I expected. Give it a shot.
