What's this?

Since this one was in really bad shape, I bought...

...the Mother's NuLens Headlight Renewal Kit. I was on the fence between this and the Meguiar's kit (wanted one that used a polishing pad that mounts to a drill). This kit had three different grit sandpaper pads to use before applying the polish with the polishing pad.

If your headlights aren't this bad, you probably don't need to use sandpaper. Just polishing should work just fine.

I think they're sealed. Deteriation was on the outside. -- EDGEMAN 12/19/2017 7:03PM
