My experience refurbishing headlights on a Mercedes C180. 1.Masking tape not enough. Cover a foot around headlights with newspaper. When using paste as it can spray and stain paintwork when you use a drill to apply. 2. Use drill on lowest speed when sanding and pasting to prevent slippage. Drill works best on flat headlights. If your headlight cluster has convex and concave shapes results are poorer. 3. Your headlight will look worse after sanding. 4. It will look even dill after pasting. 5 The magic happens when you use the polish. Not as good as new but definitely better than when you started. 6 Polish is like clear nail polish and takes as long to dry. Keep out of wind and rain. Better done in a garage. I would use it again. Best to practice on someone else's car before doing yours!

Works well, but not as many grades and the included drill attachment is slightly lower quality than my other one from the (more expensive) Autoglym kit and tends to vibrate/bounce making it difficult to sand evenly. I finished my headlight off with a 3000 disc from said Autoglym kit, before the polish and sealant, so I cannot comment on the full effectiveness of this kit alone, and I only did one headlight for the time being because my drill battery ran out. Overall and for the price, I'm happy to recommend. Be warned though, it makes a mess.

I very rarely write reviews but this was worth it, do take your time, do not rush, I spend about 45minutes on each headlight, mine are Range Rover lights so big and the kit was enough. Pretty amazed at the cleaning results. I did find the wet and dry pads disintegrated quickly but that may have been me having the drill too fast or the pads too wet. The finest grade was 2000 but I also had some sheets of 3000, 5000 and 7000 so used this too and had the results as pictured. I also ensured I used the whole sachet of polishing paste on each lens. That is where I got to when I took the images here. Where I was disappointed was the final stage applying the seal, it is a pretty thin liquid which I didn’t expect so most of it came out onto the pad in one go. Wear latex gloves for this bit too. I found the liquid dried with lines in it so has ruined the final finish. I will be polishing again with some car polish to the use the Turtlewax seal I also purchased at the same time to hopefully get the crystal clarity back that I had at one stage. Also, it does splash a lot from the drill if too fast so I now need to wash my sons car for him! How long it lasts like this only time will tell but for sure if you are gong to sell your car, this is well worth the few quid, just do t use the liquid seal in the pack!Read full review

I can’t believe how amazing this stuff is, once you apply the final sealer coat they come up like brand new. Very impressed, wished I taken a before and after picture

Can’t believe the result. After sanding lense still looked cloudy but better. It was not until I put the last finish on that the mirical happened. A crystal clear finish. Well impressed, full marks for this one, hope it lasts!!
