This stuff works
And I was just going to say none of these work. Once the sun's UV rays do a number on the plastic lens cover it is very hard to fix for any length of time. The best thing to do is simply replace your lens covers. Many times they are pretty reasonably priced and will last much longer.
Just use white toothpaste mix with some baking soda to restore the headlights. Last as long as long some of the restorers.
just replace the plastic with saran wrap
red rouge and a buffing wheel works the best. any metal polish will work like mothers, but not near as fast as red rouge.
The 3M kit works the best. Doing this bleep by hand, forget it. Be sure to seal the headlights when you are done. If you have the old adjustment nubs, just replace the headlights.
Back in 2005 I priced replacing my 1998 Caravan lenses and dealer quotes were > $100 per lens plus labor. I paid $50 per lens to a company who specializes in this work and watched what they did. Used a thick paste, felt like it had very fine abrasives, and he used a power grinder looking tool with a buffing cover. He looked like he pressed down hard. I asked him how long it would last. He said as long as it took to get that condition in the first place. Recommended I apply wax to the lenses to extend the life of the cleaning. He does this work for used car dealers and he said about 95% of cars in this condition were domestic brands. The cleaning lasted for a few years and I sold the van so I do not know if it is still clear.
to make it painless, buy a tube of autosol squeeze out 3 pea-size paste using a latex glove to spread it. it will dry in seconds then wipe it off with an old t-shirt. don't follow the BS video direction. it's not permanent. you can do on every car wax. it takes no more than 3 minutes. i have used blue magic but it is actually black magic.
$100 per lens is pretty cheap these days, automakers are realizing the profit in gouging on replacement parts. Both imports and domestics have the problem, anything with plastic (polycarbonate) lens instead of the old rectangular glass type which is going back a couple decades or more.
