    Customers like the ease of use and quality of the vehicle light assembly. For example they mention it's easy to do and produces a great result in less than 30 minutes.

    Works really well
    I was surprised, took about 20 min per light, make sure the lens stays wet, I used a squirt bottle full of water and kept it soaked, stop after about 2 passes and rinse it with the water to see where you are at in the process, #1 use for 3 passes, #2 for 2 passes and 3 & 4 one pass each, then polish, came out nice, hope it lasts

    4.0 out of 5 stars It works but the Meguiar's Clear coat is needed too!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2018
    The Basic kit works but for the almost like new look I suggest you also purchase the Meguiar's Clear Coat Protection Spray. The results looked so patchy before I sprayed my headlights with the Meguiar's clear coat spray. The Basic kit takes time and if you don't have 2 hours to dedicate to the hand sanding it won't be worth it. I didn't sand enough so I had what looked a mess when I got to the polish part. The Basic kit does not come with the Meguiar's Clear Coat Spray so go to Autozone (cheaper there) if you decide to get this kit. The picture is after I sanded, polished and sprayed with the clear coat. 2008 BMW 328i headlights pictured.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2017
    20 minutes of work with this did improved my headlight clarity overall, but it was still quite hazy.
    I did one side, then decided to replace them both with new headlights, which I found here on Amazon for $40 per pair with bulbs! ('98 F150)
    Depending on your make and model, it might be worth it to just replace them as I did.
    Photo shows, before, after and replacement. While the kit helped, you can see what a difference the new lights made.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Requires 'elbow grease', but well worth it!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2021
    The headlight lenses on my daily driver have been cloudy since I bought it in May 2020. A friend recommended MEGUIAR'S G2960 Basic Headlight Restoration Kit. It took me about an hour or so to go through the process to restore the headlights, but the difference was substantial & I was quite impressed! I did not want to have to deal with the kit that requires a power drill, concerned that I might damage the car & paint, so my expectations were kind of low. The G2960 kit well exceeded my expectations & then some. I would give this kit 6 stars, if I could.

    El producto es bueno! Sin embargo, no queda a la primera. Cual es razonable debido a que es un kit BÁSICO. Dependiendo qué tan mal estén tus faros dependerá el resultado que notes a la primera. Los míos por ejemplos llevan muchos años en mal estado y el resultado es notable después de la primera pulida. Con una segunda mano quedan. No te desesperes!

    Las fotos lo dicen todo, son los faros de un jetta 2005 que nunca habían sido pulidos. Obviamente se necesita paciencia, la lija no. 1 es la que prácticamente quita todo lo quemado, hay que lijar y lijar hasta que la espuma pase de un color amarillo a uno crema, las otras lijas van puliendo el faro para suavizar el trabajo rudo de la primera, y la crema completa el trabajo. Quien diga que no le funcionó es porque no siguió las instrucciones o no le dedicó el tiempo suficiente para que el kit haga su trabajo.
