CERAKOTE® Ceramic Headlight Restoration Kit – Guaranteed To Last As Long As You Own Your Vehicle – Brings Headlights Back to Like New Condition - No Power Tools Required - 10 Wipe Kit

I just used this product today on the headlights of my 2013 F150. The top two inches of each was heavily oxidized and rough to the touch. I looked into purchasing new headlight housings but wanting to stay with OEM, they are extremely expensive. Decided to give this product a try and am so glad I did. I’ve used other headlight restoration products in the past and while they worked on, they were time consuming and required power tools. This product is fast and easy to use with no power tools required. Took me about an hour to do both headlights and the results are amazing. The headlights look almost new. If you look real hard, you can still find some blemishes, but you do have to look real hard. The difference is night and day! Before you go spend a ton of money on new headlights, I highly recommend you give this product a try. An hour of my time, the quality of the results, and the low cost of the product make this a no brainer.Will see how they hold up on the long run but my initial response is WOW!

This product works so well, the amount of effort and time you spend on it is far exceeded by the results, it's almost like magic. Look at my before and after pictures and see for yourself.The headlights I used this on were oxidized, I normally use headlight polish on it every month or so to clear it up but it takes a lot of effort, the results aren't amazing and it only lasts a few months. The before pictures show the extent of it after a complete wash and wipe down with isopropyl alcohol. The instructions were clear, though I did notice one typo, it mentions to use a red sanding pad followed by gray, but my kit came with red and green, I just assumed green for gray and it was fine.After washing the headlights you must dry it thoroughly and if you sprayed water all around, dry or soak up as much water from the surrounding area as possible. This is important, you don't want wind to move standing water so that it sprays onto the headlight at the worst time (like the clear coat step), take no chances. If you have an electric duster, an 18V job site blower, or an air compressor, use those to blow all standing water away.If you get water into the hood while washing, don't lower the hood until the headlights are fully done and you waited for the clear coat to dry/cure completely according to instructions. The hood in the up position can hold water in it, it has drain holes to drain water out when it's laying down flat, if you lower the hood before the clear coat is dry the water will run out of the drain holes right onto your uncured headlights, leave the hood up.Most of the time and effort you spend will be on the sanding step and that depends on the size of your headlight and how intricate it is, headlights with intricate designs and reliefs will be annoying, you'll have to use the sandpaper by itself without the foam grip and fold it and spend a lot of time on edges and corners. In addition to the instructions I highly recommend you mask off the entire surrounding area with painter's tape, make sure you fold the painter's tape over and into the gap between the headlight and the bumper or fender.The nail biting part is at the end when you're applying the clear coat, you obviously don't want to mess it up, you're undoubtedly going to notice you missed a tiny spot, despite the directions saying not to go over it in multiple passes, I did it anyway and it turned out fine, you just want to do it quickly before it has time to set. The clear coat is sorcery, it self levels, I even saw a few tiny air bubbles and those all disappeared, after an hour it was dry and the finish not only looked 100% clear, it was completely free of defects and texturing, it literally (I can't emphasize this enough) looked like a brand new headlight. I expected a clear coat applied with a small gauze pad to be uneven, have visible strokes and texturing (like brush strokes), instead it's completely level with no marks and has no texture whatsoever, when I rub my fingers over it the surface feels shiny, reflective, slippery, like a new headlight. The result was so good I kept staring at it for over ten minutes at all angles.The whole job probably took me roughly one and a half hours from start to finish including masking, washing and drying the headlights. The sanding steps take the longest, the clear coat step is done in a minute or two. Time will tell how long it will last, if it even lasts a year I'll be happy.The pictures show driver's side "before" (I didn't take a picture of passenger side "before" but it looked the same), then an after shot for both driver and passenger side.Some things about the "before" shot:1. It may look like light oxidation because you can still see through it, that oxidation is lighter than it normally would be, it hasn't been that long since I last polished it with headlight polish. Had I left it for a few more months it would have become totally opaque.2. If you're wondering why there's a sharp line where it becomes completely transparent, that's where the hood sits and blocks the UV (like a farmer's tan).

I was honestly skeptical about trying another headlight restoration kit, but the Cerakote kit exceeded all expectations. For just $18, it made a night-and-day difference on my hazy, yellowed headlights. The instructions were super clear, everything you need is included, and the results were immediate.What really impressed me was the ceramic coating step—it left a long-lasting, crystal-clear finish that looks like I just installed new headlights. No drills or complicated tools required. Just follow the steps and watch the transformation happen.If you're tired of dull headlights and don’t want to drop hundreds on replacements or professional restoration, this kit is the way to go. Highly recommended!

Very impressive product that arrived very quickly after I ordered it on Amazon. I watched the "how to" video on the product's web site before trying the kit on one fairly clouded headlight on a 13-year old Lexus - the other headlight was replaced about 3 months ago, so I had a good comparison test. Followed the video's steps as carefully as I could, and waited until the following day to compare visually the two headlights in bright sunlight. It was hard to tell any difference in clarity between the two. I rarely drive at night, but a simple comparison test in a dark garage at night showed little, if any, difference between the two headlights. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I can't speak to the durability of the result, having done this only 4 days ago.

Love this product! Worked like a dream on my car, so I bought it again to treat some old headlights on a family member’s suv too! For someone with low to moderate levels of experience with detailing cars, I found this to be pretty straightforward.Anyone who claims to have had issues with swirl marks, scratches, fogginess, etc, may not have read the instructions thoroughly. It also says in the tutorial that it will not fix headlights with damage internally, such as cracks or “webbing”.Easy to use (as long as you take your time and follow instructions precisely). The video instructions from the QR code are a MUST! Did my own headlights back in December 2024. In April 2025, they still look great!Photos included are the before/after.Cleaner look and slightly brighter headlights. I would definitely recommend this!
