How to polish auto headlight lenses that are clouded and yellowing.
You will need:
1.) Chair
2.) Towel
3.) a couple rags
4.) 1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper ($4.49 at AutoZone)
5.) 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper ($4.49 at AutoZone)
6.) Turtle Wax Headlight Lens Restoration Kit ($8.99 at AutoZone) optional
7.) Ryobi 8 piece Buffing Kit ($9.97 at Home Depot)
8.) cordless drill
9.) spray bottle with water
10.) blue painters masking tape
11.) car wax
From masking the headlight to unmasking, the process should take 10-15 minutes per headlight. They will look nearly new.
1.) Mask the paint around the headlight to prevent damage.
2.) Wet sand with 1000 grit for less than a minute. You will know you’re done when the lens feels slippery. Wipe off with towel.
3.) Wet sand with 2000 grit for less than a minute. Wipe off with towel.
4.) Use large buffing wheel with Tripoli red compound, keep wheel moving about the surface to prevent heat buildup. Spray and wipe off.
5.) Use medium buffing wheel with white compound. Spray and wipe off.
6.) Use small amount of Turtle Wax Lens Clarifying Compound on rag, rub on , let haze, wipe off.
7.) Use small amount of car wax to protect the lens, wipe on, let haze, wipe off.
8.) Remove tape.
If you want to save a little money, skip 6. You probably can’t tell the difference. You can do everything without the cordless drill and buffing wheels but you will spend much more time and effort doing it.

For under $10, you can’t beat the Turtle Wax T-240KT kit. I just used the kit on a 2001 Honda with original headlamps with 132,000 miles on them. The kit includes a chemical and mild abrasive polish, as well as three levels of polishing pad to be used with the included lubricating spray. The spray is basically a super light soap solution for mild lubrication. The results were dramatic. I couldn’t be happier.
The instructions couldn’t be clearer. Key to success when using this kit is to understand what you are doing and then let the different products do their job. This is a multi-step process designed to polish away surface imperfections and oxidation.
I had good results just using the liquid polish with a soft cloth. I had suspected that the polish was just like a cleaning car wax, but it isn’t. It contains some sort of chemical that acts with the abrasive to quickly break down the oxidation. Be sure to mask of any painted areas, as this chemical could etch the paint permanently.
A good rule of thumb when using car care products, especially polishes, is to use the gentlest first, and then work your way down to the stronger levels only as needed. You usually can’t undo damage inflicted by being too aggressive, but you can always work your way up slowly. Working slowly, the milder levels work fine. I never used the #1 pad included. The #2, then #3, then finally #4 worked brilliantly.
I still have to take care of some fogging inside the headlamp, but the exterior of the housing is almost like new. For under $10, the Turtle Wax T-240KT Lens Restoration kit can’t be beat. It has definitely added value to my vehicle. Recommended!

Simply put…. Best bang for your buck! Worked very well on a 2000 Ford Focus with dismal looking lights. If your lights are more than just a little cloudy, you will need to use the sanding pads. I would recomend highly.
