Just a bit of a tip: if you don't want to have to restore your headlights every few months, you can use a sealant or wax (Meguiar's M21 or Ultimate Wax work well) after restoring (or before the lights ever get cloudy) to protect them. Doing this to the headlights will protect them just like wax protects your paint. I have found the Meguiar's headlight protectant to be near-worthless, and using the aforementioned sealants, I have yet to need to re-restore any headlight, even on cars that are parked outside in the Arizona sun on a daily basis.

Sounds good, how do you apply it? Is it just with a cloth or do you buff it up with a machine after? Cheers.

I tried that cuz I watch a video like you post a long time ago I just did it within this week and my headlights look amazing your brand-new no I was going to have to spend $200 on headlights for my car and now I spent $7 and now they got brand new headlights

One of my closest friends uses this as a paint cleaner on his Z06 Corvette. This works well with a lot of his trim pieces which are carbon fiber too

i just this afternoon used this on a 2012 Camry that sits in the sun every day and the headlights were trash. this literally took less than 5 minutes and next to no effort and the headlights look like new. i was shocked how well it worked. ten i bought the 3M headlight sealer (like moist towelettes), rubbed the towelettes over the lenses and now supposedly sealed the deal. i am very satisfied with this product.

Nice to see how many steps it takes. I was disappointed with single application on my car, but clearly I need to keep going.

i just finished using this stuff it's amazing it clean all the haze on my headlights they practically look brand new definitely pleased!.

Chris Fix has a nice You Tube video with some good info and some hints on techniques for getting the best results.

You should clean the headlight with isopropyl alcohol prior to polish

You do not use the UV protectant? Why not. Seems it would keep you from having to clean the yellow off so often.

If you use 1000 grit sandpaper and water and sand your headlights before you put on the McGuire's headlights cleaner it will be done in no time and the lights will new.☺️

I used this product on a 2011 infinity g37x. I wasn't that impressed because I thought it would work better. Maybe I have to give it a third hand or so. I'm going to wash headlights and try again.

I can't believe people still use toothpaste and toothbrush or go and pay $50 for restorations instead of using this one for $6. That UV rays stuff doesn't work though, it has zero effect for longevity. I might try using a car paint sealant like c-quartz or sonax polymer netshield next time. I apply the Meguiars Plastx by squeezing a line horizontally over the headlight, spread it with the finger and cover entire headlight with it, let it soak in for 2-3 minutes than buff it with microfiber towel. This stuff is just as good as the restoration kits for 1/5 the price and 1/10 the effort.
