Rust-Oleum HDLCAL Wipe New Headlight Restore, 0.5 FL OZ

This is on a 2015 Subaru Crosstrek. I had tried another product a year or 2 ago to treat just the yellow and it did make a difference, but nothing like this. I was taking my time and so this probably took about 30min for both lights. pics are before and after on one side. Do all prep first then do the wipe. It does take a long time to dry to the touch, more than an hour for me.

After seeing what a good restoration can do I have gotten in the habit of doing them about once a year. The first time I used the 3M kit that attaches to the drill. I bought this kit to do refreshes and was able to take care of all 3 of our cars and they look good in less than 4 minutes sanding per car. I am not super picky because they are 10-20 year old vehicles, nevertheless they look great. If your car just sort of glows instead of projecting light down the street, you will be amazed with what a difference these make.If you do it frequently, the process goes really fast. If they are really bad I would go with one of the drill bit attachment kits.

Giving this 4 stars because I don't know how long it will last. Many reviews claim the "sponge" should be larger, I totally agree.Your fingers will be sore after using this product.My headlights look great compared to what they looked like before I started. The job didn't take too long just prepare everything before you use the coating its in the directions.As a bonus I did my rear back up camera lens and that worked out really well!

I have tried all the usual headlight cleaning products and they were not affective. This product worked! Very happy with the results.

When they say, "use product in a ventilated area," you may want to just leave your garage door open - this product is STRONG on the inhalation side of products. I did not have much hazy or smokiness to the outside lens of my headlight, and I wanted to try this product after seeing some positive reviews. I however use it on a cool day, in my garage, with the door open, the smell stuck for hours - wicked. I followed the steps as directed on the instruction sheet included in the kit, I decided to go with the oxidation and polish pad (which I got many finger cramps because how small it was. After I dried the lens off completely I went over it with the wipe cloth and it started to make a difference. Where I found the problem was after the "drying" process when I found streaks on my headlight. See my two attached photos for the results before and after. You can tell a difference, but I really wish I did not have streaks. The other concern I have is it seems there's now a frothy coat on the lens that when I look at it, I can tell something has been wiped on.What I recommend to user - USE PAINTERS TAPE around the edges of your headlights on the paint side, so you don't risk scratching or getting product on the paint. It does say that you can wipe it off, but why redo or go back over work that you just did.What recommended to company - Where are your demonstration videos, I went to the website and could not find any... all you have is product and social media links - no HOW TO or TIPS/TRICKS video.*UPDATE, 6/21 - Rust-Oleum reached back out regarding the streaking and looking to try product one more time. Stated you can use the polish pad to remove the layer if streaked. 6/26 - Received new kit to attempt to retry the product, customer service has pleasantly been great to work with (3 stars to 4 stars).

This actually works! We were going to replace our headlights due to them being so foggy. I had tried every home remedy from toothpaste to baking soda and bug spray to get the foggy lights to clear up and the baking soda did a little but not much. This product completely cleared it up and hasn’t changed after many days later. Highly recommend! Before and after pics attached

This product damaged one of two lens of my headlights and all they want to do is refund product cost. They should replace headlight assembly since their product damaged it.

I don’t have any long term testing yet but the initial results were fantastic!
