    Has anyone tried Rain X headlight restoring kit, it comes with everything you need to sand, clean, and seal your lights, and i was thinking of trying it.
    If no one has tried it, i will get it and post a review

    Or you can try acetone, but just be VERY CAREFUL not to get on anything but the lense itself. It will eat the paint off your car in a second

    Now a days its almost cheaper to get a new set of headlights if your lens are becoming that jacked up anyways.

    I restored my headlights last summer. After about 2 months they looked like ass again. So I bought new ones.

    Wetsanding and Plastix has the same result and is probably cheaper. Wax them to keep them looking new.

    I just put a new pair of headlights on my 98 GP Daytona. I got them from a seller down in Texas via Ebay for $60.00. I'm very happy with them for the price and they made a big difference from the old, yellowed and sandblasted originals.

    There is a 3M headlight resotration kit that you can buy at autozone and there is even a video on youtube showing how to use the kit and the results it comes with sanding discs that you attach to a drill and then some plastic polish and a pad for the final step. Its abou 20 bucks i think but it may be just what your looking for.

    Please, anyone concerned in restoring headlights. Watch any youtube video on it and you'll figure it out.
