Wipe New HDL6PCMTRRT Headlight Restore Kit

CUSTOMER REVIEW



If this didn't advertise itself as "Crystal Clear Headlights in Just Seconds," I would rate it higher. In fact, it is a product that works, just not the way you would expect.



You begin by washing your headlights to make certain they are clean.



Next, after wetting the headlights, you take the tiny sponge (about 1 1/2 inches square) and use it to "rub the haze off of your headlights." The instructions call it "wetsanding." The green side of the pad is actually 2000 grit sand surface.



You know if you need to wetsand if you wet your headlight and it still looks hazy. If it is clear when wet, there isn't a need. Depending on the size of your headlights, this could take a bit of time, remember, the sponge is tiny.



Once you have completed this step, you use the other side of the pad to polish the part you have just sanded. The gray side of the pad has 3000 grit sand surface.



You dry the lens using the included towel (about the size of a washcloth). Then you inspect your lens. If it still has hazy spots, you need to repeat the sanding and polishing till it is clear.



Now you really need to wait. Before you go forward, not only do your headlights need to be sanded and polished, but they also need to be completely dry. ALL HEADLIGHTS NEED TO BE DONE BEFORE YOU GO ON. THERE IS ONLY ONE WIPE FOR ALL AND THE CHEMICAL WILL CURE QUICKLY.



Put on the "nitrile gloves" that are included (they seem to be large enough for most people to wear), and open the applicator. Instructions are to :carefully wipe the lens ONE TIME, being careful not to get any Wipe New onto the surrounding paint. Treat all lenses before the Wipe-it dries out.



After you finish, you need to put the applicator cloth up and allow it to dry completely before disposing of it - which could take a few hours.



Things to know:

Gloves and eye protection (not included) are recommended when using.



You need to apply this in the shade, not the sun, and in a well-ventilated area



You can't touch the surface for one hour after applying, and you need 24 hours before water touches the surface. They recommend keeping your car in the garage for 24 hours after applying.



While there is a product guarantee, it only covers the cost of the product, not the damage done by the product. In order to receive a refund, you need not only to have your original receipt but before and after photos plus proof you applied it correctly.



So, I would qualify that this works, with a lot of caveats. Nowhere near as easy as described, nowhere near as fast as it describes.
