I just tried it on my 2003 Carvan's headlights. The sanding pads removed the yellow but could not smooth out all the pitting. Still, it was an improvement making the van safer because the headlights shine out better.

Seen a few people blown away by the Turtle Wax kit. The results seem to speak for themselves. Great to have these independent product testing videos. Thanks for making it.

In my case, after the lens sealing wipe stage, it's not drying out totally even after 24 hours - is that normal and supposed to be wiped off with a cloth or something later? Some areas (close to the perimeters and curves) seem to be absolutely wet even after 24 hours
