Product Description
The SYLVANIA Headlight Restoration Kit will restore your lenses to a like-new appearance at a fraction of the cost of replacing all new lenses on your vehicle.
Restore original clarity and vision to sun-damaged plastic headlight lenses in three easy steps. Remove haze and lessen road glare allowing you to improve your down-road vision.
The SYLVANIA Headlight Restoration Kit also includes a proprietary UVB Clear Coat application designed to preserve your lens clarity for long-lasting results.

|
---|---|---|
Wash the headlight lenses and then spray Surface Activator -- a proprietary surface corrosion softener only from Sylvania, generously onto each headlight lens until they are completely covered. Let this liquid sit on each lens for about 50 seconds. Immediately, you’ll see the yellow gunk start to break down. Wash completely with water to remove loosened corrosion. |
Use the wet sanding technique described in your instruction sheet, using the 400, 1000 and 2000 grits and paper included in the box. This will remove corrosion. Apply the clarifying compound using even circular motions. Rinse and dry. Reapply the Surface Activator for 30 seconds and rinse with water. You’ll be amazed at how clear the lenses will already be. |
Ensure all moisture is removed from on and around the headlight lens. You’ll then apply the UV Block Clear Coat. It’s simple. Just apply as instructed in smooth, even applications. This UV Block Clear coat is a specially formulated polymer coating with active and passive UV blockers. This is the component that gives you long-lasting results. |
BEFORE AND AFTER RESULTS
The left side of the headlight lens is hazy and sun-damaged, inhibiting your headlight from functioning properly. The right side of the headlight lens has been treated with the SYLVANIA Headlight Restoration Kit. The headlight lens is restored close to its original condition, allowing your headlight system to function at top performance.
*Actual results will depend on the severity of UV degradation. Greater existing UV damage will allow for greater performance improvements.

I read positive reviews on Amazon and looked at the customer’s images before I purchased the kit, but I’m always still slightly skeptical until I see it for myself, or personally know someone who has tried a product from online. But after seeing it for myself, I am now a believer!
I buffed the outside of my headlights. You do not buff the inside, if anyone is curious. I can’t imagine buffing the outside would help if you had condensation build-up on the inside (although I’m sure you could apply to the inside of a clear lense?...just make sure you’re not buffing the tint or colored screen of a light. However, I’m sure the product wouldn’t advertise/recommend using on the interior of the lense due to possible damage it could cause). Most cloudy headlights seem to have sun/weather damage, though. This product will most certainly work great on that kind of wear and tear!
For anyone saying toothpaste does the same thing, that is not correct. I’ve tried toothpaste. It helps but it doesn’t deliver the same results as this. This product has a pumice similar to the texture of toothpaste (but thicker and slightly grittier). But in addition to that, it provides lightly abrasive sandpaper, a stain remover, and a clear coat. So overall, it’s much more adept to ensuring as clean of a result as possible. It puts the toothpaste method to shame.
I have not actually tried this product before, so I honestly have no idea how the durability/lifespan will be. However, if I’m going off how well this product worked, I would hope it holds up for a decent amount of time (months) before requiring another attempt. So I rated that aspect 5 stars until something proves otherwise, and I will update if that changes.
The instruction manual was well-written and easy to read, as well as being intuitive and preempting you to get your other supplies ready and pre-reading the instructions before starting the project. It was written in perfect, fluent English; it was not overly verbose so the directions were easy to follow; and it was three simple steps on three small pages so it didn’t take a lot of time to read through the instructions.
Things you will need in addition to the kit:
- Water source (I used a hose, but you could use a large pitcher of water. You just need to be able to keep your sandpaper and lights consistently wet while sanding, and be able to rinse the lenses when the directions call for it).
- Masking tape is optional though I’d recommend it. (The kit says the products will not strip the clear coat or ruin your paint job, but it suggests taping off your lights out of precaution. As long as the paint on someone’s car isn’t stripped of the clear coat or rusting/chipping before taping, then I’d definitely suggest taping off the lights with masking tape.)
- Extra non-latex glove (if you want to wear one on both hands — because the box only includes one glove... I didn’t want anything on my hands, especially the chemicals, so I wore gloves the whole time).
- Have a garbage can, nearby, for waste
- Extra paper towels and/or a shammy for drying (I would have used a car shammy, but I had some soft, blue car-paper towels and those worked well.)
The kit includes:
-A spray that strips stains off the lenses
- 3 soft paper towels that are used for drying, for rubbing pumice, and for applying the clear coat
- 3 different sandpaper strips that you split in half and use one-half on each light (400 grit, 1000 grit, and 2000 grit— you work your way up from coarsest to smoothest grit).
- Gritty pumice to polish the lenses after wet-sanding
- And a UV Protectant Clear Coat to use at the last step (this step is essential because the lights dramatically shine and are exceptionally clear after applying this clear coat.)
- I also kept my phone nearby so I could time my sanding/buffing. It recommends 5 minutes for each step, per light.
Here’s what you need to know:
- This particular kit is only good for 2 lights. My headlights were the main problem, but now that I see how well this works, I’ll probably do this to my taillights as well.
- You need to set aside at least 1 hour for this project. Even 2 hours would be ideal but more than that isn’t needed. And you need to be willing to put some elbow grease into it with all of the sanding. (I’m sure you could use a small sanding buffer too...but people tend to buff too hard with a buffer if they’re not familiar with using one, so I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone. The product does not suggest to use one, but if you’re familiar with a buffer and have one on-hand, I could see how it could expedite the process. Just make sure to keep your headlights and the sandpaper wet while sanding.)
- You are not to touch the headlights for at least one hour after applying the clear coat
- You are advised not to drive the car or leave it in rainy conditions for 4-6 hours after applying the clear coat until the coating cures. (So set aside time to do this when you don’t have to drive somewhere; and make sure to do it on a sunny and/or dry cloudy day, although avoid direct sunlight and freezing cold temperatures).
Seriously though, for $20, it makes it look like you basically have a brand new pair of lights! It is *so* worth the purchase. I’d highly recommend it, and whenever it wears off, I will certainly be purchasing another kit and doing this again.

Simple application. Although used some sandpaper I had as the provided was small and wore away.
Has held up with the UV coat and not reverted to its previously worn state.
