Ultra Headlight Restoration Kit
Progressive abrasive lens-restoration systemAdvanced DIY
A complete, logical system for oxidized polycarbonate lenses. The risk is sanding adjacent paint or leaving the lens without durable UV protection.
The chemistry
Progressively finer abrasives remove the degraded outer polymer layer and refine sanding marks; a final coating restores clarity and slows renewed UV oxidation.
Use it when
- Cloudy or yellowed polycarbonate headlight lenses
- Oxidation is on the outer lens surface
- The lens is structurally sound and can be fully masked
Compatible surfaces
- Polycarbonate headlight lenses
- Other plastic lenses only when the kit directions permit
Avoid or verify first
- Cracked lenses, internal condensation or failed internal reflectors
- Unmasked adjacent paint
- Skipping grits, edge control or the final protective step
How to use Ultra Headlight Restoration Kit safely
- 1Clean the lens and mask adjacent paint with two protective tape layers.
- 2Follow the kit's abrasive sequence without skipping steps; keep the tool controlled and the surface even.
- 3Remove residue, apply the specified clear protection and observe its cure instructions.
