The Autoglym Headlight Restoration Complete Kit is a game changer that easily restores your vehicle's headlights to a factory fresh clarity, saving you hundreds compared to replacing oxidised or yellowed lenses. This comprehensive kit includes everything you need, drill adaptable backing plates, a complete range of sanding and foam discs (from P800 to P3000), a high-performance restoration compound, and a microfiber cloth. It eliminates the guesswork involved in removing years of UV damage and surface pitting. By using the speed of a standard electric drill, this kit significantly reduces the manual labour required for the restoration process. It restores crystal-clear optical transparency, giving your vehicle an instant cosmetic refresh while dramatically improving driving safety at night. This cost-effective, prosumer grade solution earns a well-deserved five-star rating.

Before I start this review, I have assigned this product 5 starts for what Amazon references as Sheerness. I have interpreted 'Sheerness' as the ability of the product to do what it claims. My reference for this is the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, 11th Edition. This product was purchased to undertake a repair to the headlights on my wife's vehicle that were starting to show early signs of 'lens bloom', external clouding on the top of the perspex main lights. I selected Auto Glym based on product reputation and 40+years of using Auto Glym products on all of our vehicles. I felt that £30.00 was an acceptable risk before purchasing 2 x new lights if this did not work. I need have had no such fears. Clear simple instructions, a supporting Auto Glym video, watched 2-3 times prior to undertaking the task were excellent training tools and gave me confidence to effectively destroy the surface of each headlight. I was able to easily remove the lights on our Volvo XC-60 and was able to perform this repairs off the vehicle. This helped me considerably and I felt gave me a better quality finish. It took me around 30-40 minutes per headlight working on a bench next to the car and providing you follow the instructions to the letter in terms of drill speed, use of water and the various grades of discs the end results were outstanding and much better than I anticipated. Overall a very professional crystal clear finish was obtained on each headlight. The headlights have been on the vehicle around 4 weeks and no signs of any bloom returning. Following the task I found I was able to recover the very fine grit discs and have reused them undertaking a headlight repair on a Mercedes due to a stone chip. I was able to remove the scratch completely that was in the middle of the headlight lens. It took around 20 minutes to complete while the headlight was left on the car. I don't have any before photos but in the attached images, on the white car the bloom extended from the top of the headlight lens over its complete length and down to 20% of the lens surface. On the grey car the chip and scratch damage was in the centre of the lens. As you can see, more than 4 weeks on the finish on both sets of lights has been exceptional. A great saving over a set of replacement lights. What a great product that even the least able DIYer will be able to obtain first class results. I have been looking for replacement fine grit discs but have managed to clean, wash and reuse the original sets of discs. The instructions from Auto Glym and clear simple and work but I recommend you also look at the video if you have never done this previously. Very highly recommended, an excellent product.

Simple straightforward and with clear instructions. I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome.. definitely a must buy item

Excellent product, used it to restore two headlights on a 15 year old Focus ST, not enough sanding pads to also restore the taillights also.

I had begun to notice my headlights were ‘clouding’ and having seen others I decided it best to fix rather than wait. I got this pack on offer for a few pence over £20. In all honesty I didn’t expect much and was even slightly dubious, I needn’t have been. I watched the video so knew what to expect, although the enclosed instructions were very easy to follow also. Again, when it came to the sanding I was still apprehensive about performing such on plastic. Again, I needn’t have worried. I have attached a photo to show the difference and honestly, the photo doesn’t do justice to how it looks in reality, they have cleaned up great. Autoglym is a brand I’ve used before and this time they’ve hit the spot. The car was new to me but is 15 years old so ageing is expected. To be able to revive the headlights for £20 is impressive. There’s enough material left over to do both headlights again, great value for money.

This was awkward due to the shape of the light I was restoration but the final results where very good. Highly recommended.

Yes I know it’s an excitable title but I have tried many products that have been shocking. This product does a great job, being able to use a drill takes all the pain out of it. My old headlights came up beaming as you’ll see from the images. This is maybe more expensive than some other products, don’t waste your money just buy this!

It’s okey, did not match my expectation as usually does with other Autu Glym products

Solid. Watch the youtube video.

The instructions tell you to use a high-speed drill, my lights have a plastic type surface so I opted to use arm power as wet and dry paper can remove a fair amount of surface material, the procedure with out the drill took about an hour per lens, using water different grades of wet and dry in circular motion and the fine paste. The kit did remove most of the light scratches and did bring back some clarity , but not perfect by any means even when using the fine paste and hard surface rubbing still looked a bit dull, it should be noted there is no clarifier final coat sealer with this kit , it’s basically keep sanding and polishing until it gets to the point that its acceptable , but I wasn’t keen on the drill idea so used a clarifier sealer from another product that supplied 2 sealer packs , this did the job for me and would pass an MOT or NCT. I have restored several head lights on several vehicles and it would appear to me if you don’t use a clarifying liquid for the final coat it could take quite a bit of rubbing and polishing to get a good result, admittedly you may have to do the restoration as a yearly or 2 yearly thing but its reasonably easy to do

Det är värt varje krona. Vilken skillnad. Jag är helt imponerat.. Väldigt lätt använda också.. Rekommenderas varmt.. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Funciona genial siguiendo todos los pasos. En casos de grandes daños abra que lijar con un grado menor al que incluye el kit.

Wow, de koplamen van een wat oudere Honda Civic zijn weer helemaal als nieuw geworden. Echt als nieuw!! Het eindresultaat gaf echt een wow gevoel. Zorg wel voor een goed opgeladen accu voor de schroefboormachine. Ik heb twee volle accu's gebruikt voor al het schuurwerk. Maar je resultaat wordt rijkelijk beloond!
