MOTHERS 7251 NuLens Headlight Renewal Kit

CUSTOMER REVIEW



So... 2 years ago I bought this ten year old Jeep. Headlights were a little yellowed and they had some sort of coating on them, like maybe just clear lacquer - but it had ugly edges. Whatever the previous owner had done.



I went to the auto parts store and asked the clerk what the best headlight renewal kit was, reached for an orange box ( I don't even remember the brand anymore, doesn't matter) and I paid about 22 bucks and went home. 3 hours later, sore fingers and wrists, sweaty and frustrated my headlights still pretty much looked like crap... I did the best I could with that kit but gave up.



About 3 months ago I was in another auto parts store and saw a Mothers brand kit (not this one) and asked the clerk what he thought of it, he said it's great - ok, I told him about my previous experience and I asked him implicitly, "Am I going to buy this, get home and use it, and be pissed off at it and at you for endorsing it?" - he said no it works very easily and it's the kit to buy. I dropped another 20 bucks on that kit. I spent another hour on that one - it wasn't any better than the previous one. The little squares of sandpaper were annoying to hold and move back and forth, the most coarse one wasn't aggressive enough to actually cut away the flaws in my lens and the finer ones didn't do anything to cut down the scratches from the coarsest one - so again my lenses ended up looking crappy.



I was shopping for replacement headlight assemblies when I saw this kit and figured I'd give it a try - at least with the fully powered sanding process I wouldn't get more sore fingers this time. I have to say, this kit REALLY WORKS. The coarse pad was plenty coarse to get my lenses down to an even surface and the speed at which it works made it easy to keep the assembly wet (this is important, to keep the sandpaper from melting the plastic instead of cutting it away) and the next two stages (800, 1500, 3000, liquid polish) were appropriate to bring the coarse cuts down efficiently to the "new" crystal clear surface.



So in summary, not only did this kit work, it was also the first kit that actually effing worked and didn't infuriate me.
