Turtle Wax 51768 Headlight Restorer Kit Headlamp Cleaning Restores Brightness Kit, (Old Version)

I've tried a couple of other headlight restoration kits, including the one from 3M, and the results were "OK". Better than originally, but not great. I've also replaced headlight assemblies with new ones. That's a big pain. You have to remove the front bumper among other things. I saw a video review of the Turtle Wax 51768 Headlight Restorer Kit and decided to give it a try on a moderately cloudy pair of 2013 CRV headlights. I followed the directions - initial clean, 4 levels of finer grit, polish - and I'd say the results were 75% perfect. But then I wiped on the "Lens Base Coat Wipe." I don't know what's on it, but that took the headlights from uneven looking and foggy when you shone a light in the right direction, to 95%-100% as good as new. Something about the Lens Base Coat Wipe did it. And it STAYED perfect / near perfect through the next day. (Often, if you pour water over a cloudy headlight, the water fills in the "valleys" that create the cloudiness, but as soon as you dry off the headlight, it looks just as bad. Not the case with this Turtle Wax kit.) I recommend NOT bothering with other headlight restorer kits. My experience is that they're a lot of work with disappointing results. The Turtle Wax 51768 Headlight Restorer Kit made my old headlights look 95% to 100% perfect. Amazing!

I used this kit to restore some lightly oxidized headlights. The pictures with the tape are the headlights before using the kit. I used both the clarifying compound and sanding pads, but even without the sanding they cleared up very well. In my case, the clarifying compound removed about 90% of the oxidation and the sanding pads cleared up the last 10%. In my opinion, the clarifying compound could be used on its own for regular maintenance depending on how oxidized your headlights are. I really took my time with the buffing and sanding and probably spent an hour on each headlight. There is more than half of each bottle left after doing this. As long as you get more basecoat and lens sealing wipes, you could probably get 2-4 uses out of each kit. I'm very happy with how they turned out and would highly recommend this kit.

This is an honest review. This will not restore headlights to 100%. This will not restore headlights to 90%. I had medium to medium heavy oxidation. I achieved about a 75% to new results. Which is not bad and much better than what they were. I did however complete the entire process as described in the instructions about 3 times, using only towels and the provided materials with the kit. Overall abot 1 hours time. I do believe it's worth the money,we shall see how long it lasts. However it beats buying 200$ assemblies. But like "new" not even close. It will improve a daily driver or the appearance of a used car you are trying to sell for sure. Was I a little wowed, yes, but very little WOW factor and more of an ok,well that's for sure better. About a 70% improvement. Good enough for a daily driver for sure...but perfect, not even close. It is good product and worth the price. I highly recommend reserving judgement until applying the base coat and the sealing wipe,as they do actually make a big difference, however,there is nothing earth shattering here. It's a good value and a good product,but it's just that...it's just good,not great.

I used this headlight restoration kit to clear up some light fog and yellowing on my car’s headlights before a long night drive — and I was really impressed by the results. My headlights weren’t severely oxidized, so I didn’t need to use the sanding discs. Just the first two steps (the included liquid cleaner and polish) were enough to noticeably brighten the lenses and improve visibility. That said, the kit does include sanding pads if your headlights need more intensive restoration, which makes it a well-rounded and affordable solution. The instructions were clear, the process was quick, and I didn’t need any special tools or skills to get a good result. If you’re looking for an effective, budget-friendly headlight cleaner that delivers visible results in minutes, this one is Sincerely Approved. Highly recommend for anyone doing basic car maintenance at home.

I think the components to renew headlights may be in the kit, but the information is somewhat lacking. I did the process, but one headlight was still foggy. So I was left with questions about whether I could start anew, repeat certain processes, continually use the wax/buff product (perhaps with a slightly abrasive sponge). There are some skeletal directions on the back of the box (nothing inside!) so I think the manufacturer could give you some more information about the process, what your are doing, which steps to repeat and more contingencies. I rather felt from the start to the very end that I was not using the abrasive right or putting the final sealer on too soon (even though it says immediately but only after base is dry). Possibility it was some user error or I should have watched some videos, but I think providing the information is the manufacturer's job. Also, provider one time use packets of the final sealer is a cheapskate move, meaning you purchase is all for not if you have an error and also making the product a one time use. There may even be home remedies that are as useful here. I think I got a bit more clarity in my headlights but lots of fog on the process and instructions.

I had been dealing with cloudy, yellowed headlights on my 12 year old Honda for quite a while. I had wet sanded the lenses once before and used compound to polish them, but after only a few weeks they were getting yellow again. So, after reading some reviews I decided to try the Turtle Wax kit, and I am so happy that I did! This kit works and the results last! Everything you need is included and the instructions are clear. The wet sanding takes a while. Spend some extra time on the wet sanding steps, and the results you get will be dramatically better. The sanding pads and lubricant included in the kit are great. The polishing paste also works well and can be applied by hand. The key to long-lasting results is the primer/sealant though. It protects the plastic and has kept my headlights looking crystal clear. It's amazing how much clear headlights improve the look of an older car, and most importantly improve the safety of driving at night. If your headlights are yellowed/cloudy, get this kit!

I have a 1997 that had yellowed lights so badly I could not see at night. The lights were not coming through. Really bad lighting in my car. This hopefully will help! It did make a huge difference but I had a hard time getting alll the cream wax off. Boy it took a while. Finally I had to use some windex to get it off. But it looks better and I watched the YouTube video on exactly how to use this product. I wonder how long this will last?!?! We will see.

It did quite a good job on my old cars headlights.

I rarely comment and review products but this one although very skeptical the product worked as advertised in a short time of application for both headlights about total 30 minutes a distinct improvement. Great development product!

Lätt att använda och gjorde sitt jobb! Bilen gick igenom besiktningen efter att fått anmärkning på diffus ljusbild!

I wasnt sure about whether this would be as good as the reviews so i took a before photo. I was amazed by the results and it totally justified the positive reviews. Quick, easy and does a great job. Would highly recommend for heavily oxide/yellow headlights.

Abbastanza facile da usare, non un kit completo al 100% considerando che va fatto un primo lavaggio con sapone e servono degli stracci asciutti dopo le applicazioni. Io l ho comprato in previsione della revisione visto che anni fa per l'appannamento non me la fecero passare e mi fecero pagare il servizio sui 50-70 euro ora nn ricordo bene. Be revisione passata e a distanza di 3 mesi sono ancora abbastanza trasparenti anche se non come appena fatti ( vedi foto). Alla fine avanza pure prodotto ma le non le salviette finali essendo monouso che sono quelle poi che fanno risplendere i fari.
