In the case of "Quixx QHRK1 Headlight Restoration Kit", the claims on the packaging are perhaps a little exaggerated given the contents the kit supplied, but for really badly affected headlights the method works and the results are obtainable by expanding the kit slightly. I was very encouraged having seen the before and after pictures on the packaging. The before image matched the state of the headlights of my 15 year old Honda Accord almost perfectly (see attached photos). Starting on the right hand lens I first tried using the just scratch remover paste and was disappointed to find it made the state worse. The paste had dried and exaggerated the crazing - however it did highlight the problem well! My second attempt was to use the supplied wet and dry paper as per instructions. An hour and a half later the results were better but nowhere near the clarity claimed and some obvious crazing and haze. The results of my third attempt were close enough to the after images claimed to be possible that I decided to write this review. Unfortunately after nearly five hours the light was fading, my arm was aching and I desperately needed a break. So I took the before pictures of the second headlight and started again in the morning. The following additional instructions are what I would give if your headlights are in as really bad a state. If less hazed then the kit should suffice as is; my advice would be to try it and only resort to coarser grade paper if necessary, but also to be assured that use of coarser grade paper will not result in damage (just takes a lot longer). Obtain some coarse grade wet and dry to cut through the crazing I used 600 and 1000 grit from a bundle bought through desertcart ("Wet and Dry Sandpaper Mixed Grits 240/600/1000/1500/2000 10 sheets 2 per grit 230 x 280mm Waterproof Paper Highest Quality STARCKE MATADOR"). Expect to spend about 3 hours per headlight and start with the 600 grit paper and work down through to the supplied 5000 grit using the method described in the kits instructions. Use of the 600 grit (in horizontal strokes) will take at least half the time, the 1000 grit (vertical strokes) a quarter of the time and so on. Don't rush and remember to use plenty of water. At each stage, and two or three times during use of the 600 grit, wash the headlight and dry thoroughly to inspect the state so far. The aim is to remove all crazing/haze with the 600 grit, after that the aim is to remove all marks from the previous phase. It is well worth spending time to inspect the lens closely at each phase and only move to the next grit when completely satisfied. When rubbing down using the 600 grit there will be a lot of white debris produced but this will diminish as all the crazing is removed, eventually this will reduce down to almost nothing. The result after drying will be a uniform haze over the entire lens, with no sign of any crazing. When wet the result gives a glimpse of the end result. Finally, after rubbing down and working through all grades of wet and dry, then using the scratch remover and applying the lens sealer hopefully your lens will look like mine. Indistinguishable from new! Review: It does a good job! - I had never tried this method before and read a number of reviews before deciding to give this product a try - and I'm pleased with the outcome. It took about 3 hours to do up both lamps on my Saab (but I wasn't exactly rushing either..) and the result is definitely satisfactory, especially considering it was all done by hand and no power drill or buffing wheel was involved. All the parts needed were included and there was plenty of product (polish and sealant) in the bottles for both lamps. Probably enough for two treatments. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The only reason I won't give it 5 stars is that the included sanding paper and sanding block is too tiny. As another reviewer has pointed out, they are more suited to the hands of a 5-year old and that puts a lot of strain on your fingers. The manufacturer should make things a little bit bigger and more easy to use. Most 5-year olds don't buff car headlamps and most grown men don't have such tiny fingers! I would recommend this product for lightly faded lamps - mine was somewhere 'in the middle' so to speak, which is why I had to put so much time into it too. For more yellowed/faded lamps I'd have to recommend using a power drill and buffing wheel instead, which I will be doing next time. It will shorten the time and the workload a lot. But for what it's supposed to do and how well it works, I have no problem recommending this product for a quick resoration of your headlamps. It really does a very good job if you take your time and work thoroughly! ## Features - Brightens cloudy and matte headlight lenses - Removes scratches and thus provides clear diffusers again - Improves the appearance and thus the value retention of the vehicle - Provides a durable protective layer - Superior effect thanks to PDT ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BHUPHSC | | Best Sellers Rank | 46,593 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) 177 in Vehicle Grinding & Polishing Materials Sets | | Brand | Quixx | | Compatible Material | Glass, Plastic | | Country Of Origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (2,773) | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04028778001681 | | Grit Material Type | Aluminium Oxide | | Grit Type | Set | | Included Components | restoration kit | | Item Dimensions | 5.5 x 9 x 18 centimetres | | Item Type Name | restoration kit | | Item Weight | 159 Grams | | Manufacturer | Quixx | | Material | Plastic | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Quixx - **Grit material:** Aluminium Oxide - **Grit type:** Set - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 5.5 x 9 x 18 centimetres - **Material:** Plastic ## Images ![Quixx Headlight Restoration Kit Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zo3vl8KFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the 2000 grit paper agressive enough for heavily oxidized headlights?** A: I started with 800 and 1200 wet & dry sandpaper which I bought separately, the lights on my golf were so bad it failed it’s MOT . I did 2 passes with each paper 800 , 1200 , 2000 , 3000 ,5000 Lights looked great in the end but if it’s just light oxidisation then starting with 2000 should be ok **Q: Does the repair last** A: Yes! Absolutely. I have used this kit twice on the same car with a three year gap between. I probably should have redone the lenses a year or so ago but had installed brighter headlamp bulbs so the milky acrylic glass wasn't so noticeable. **Q: How many headlights i can repair with one kit? do i have to buy one for each light? does it repairs scratches as well?** A: I bought this kit and restored my headlights. Found it really good. Did both my headlights and I recon there is enough sand paper and products left to do them again. So I would say you could do at least 4 headlights out the kit. As for scratches I assume the scratch is on the headlight. It all depends how deep the scratch is. If it's a light scratch it may polish out. Hope this is of some help. **Q: Can i use this product on my glass headlights?** A: This is for plastic headlamps ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceeded expectations - see photos *by M***T on 15 May 2015* The claims made by this type of product are so often complete fabrication that it's refreshing to find one that isn't.
