3M Headlight Lens Restoration System, 39008, 1 Kit

I used this product and some other off the shelf liquid compounds and got a great result. This is necessary because of the sanding steps.

This kit works extremely well and I was able to do 4 headlights with it. I wish I would have found this 2 years earlier than I did. HIGHLY recommended if your headlights embarrass you. Plenty of YouTube videos showing how to do it.

Recommended!!

Perfect kit with everything . Would have been better if final protection spray or liquid is included.

From the second I opened it it feels like a cheep product, I regret using it as I will need a new lens now, very light duty drill pads, I couldn't finish even 1 properly.

Muito bom e chegou rápido. Recomendo.

The instructions are very clear and the product works very well. There is a learning curve and it will only be as good as the effort you are willing to put in. It is a little time consuming but it makes a huge difference. This is the first time in 7 years that I have restored the headlights and it made a big difference in clarity. The picture has the left headlight not done and the right one finished and you can tell the difference easily. I just kept my drill on speed 1 and controlling the sanding was really easy. When using the 3000grit pad use a lot of water and it does a great job making it almost clear, then the compound finished it up to almost like new. I am very pleased with this kit. I do wish it came with a sealing wax for when you finish but that’s not a big deal.

It took me awhile to get around to using this, but I finally got it done last weekend. This exceeded my expectations. Took me about 40 minutes to do both headlights on my SUV. Final results are excellent. They look brand new, bright and crystal clear. I had my doubts as I was doing it, but sure enough in the final step they buffed out clear. It has been a week since I completed it, so I can't comment on how they hold up over time, but I can't see why they wouldn't. The lenses on my SUV were half fogged up, mainly the upper half that gets exposed to the sun, so they weren't horrible from the start. But the headlight lenses are over 13 years old. The SUV has 220,000 miles on it, so I didn't feel like buying a whole new headlight housing. The housings are actually pretty cheap ($40 each if I recall), but sometimes the installation of the housing is a pain in the butt if you can't easily access every bolt. Thus, I wanted to give this a try. In this kit they give you multiple disks of the 500 and 800 grit. Then one of 3000 and one buffer pad. I only used one of the 500 and 800, which did both headlights. I wiped off the lens and pad every couple minutes to avoid build-up. I also didn't go full speed with the drill to avoid having the plastic head up (maybe half speed). I bet there's enough disks left over to do another 5 sets of headlights. So I wouldn't worry about running out. I used my electric drill at home, which didn't even use up a full charge on the battery. I took my time, mostly to be careful. The instructions say to go over the lens 6-8 times with each grit paper, but I bet I only did 4. Seemed like plenty. Also, it recommends to put masking tape around the molding surrounding the light to protect it. I put two layers and due to being sloppy I went off the lens and hit the tape. It sanded right through it and put a small scratch in the molding. After that I put a layer of duck tape on top of the masking tape. It was much more durable and didn't lead to any more scratches. It was so easy and the results so go, I'll probably go do my mother's car for her. Her car is newer than mine, yet for some reason more fogged up than my own.

J’ai acheté le kit 3M 39008 de restoration d’optiques de phares et Le résultat est excellent. Les optiques de phares de ma voiture avaient mal vieillis, et après recherche, le kit 3M est apparu comme le meilleur produit. La seule différence est que j’ai commencé à poncer manuellement les optiques avec du papier de verre « carrossier » de grain 400 et à l’eau avant la procédure préconisée par 3M dans son tuto sur YouTube, astuce trouvée sur un forum. Le résultat est bluffant, les optiques paraissent neuves, ça rajeunit la voiture, j’y gagne en sécurité et je suis serein pour le contrôle technique. Le seule défaut que je note est l’absence du ruban adhésif de protection, qui doit être acheté à part.

Premetto che non avevo mai usato prodotti simili, non è stato difficile capire il sistema per riportare i fari dell'auto in condizioni quasi nuovi, a patto che essi non siano rovinati dall'interno. Anche perché le istruzioni in italiano non ci sono, ma nessun problema, all'interno c'è l'indirizzo per un video che vi spiega come fare bene i passaggi. Comprato per sistemare la mia auto, a fine lavorazione, c'ho fatto anche i fari di un'altra auto e la mascherina di un altro automezzo, essendo anch'essa dello stesso materiale dei fari. Nella lavorazione sono stato molto cauto e, se come me non siete del mestiere, conviene prendervi tutto il tempo necessario per capire il procedimento. Siccome la mia auto ha delle cornici cromate intorno ai fari, ho dovuto smontare gli stessi per rimuoverle, ma se la vostra auto non ha le cornici cromate, vi consiglio di non smontarli dall'auto, in quanto la lavorazione è più facile. Dopo aver finito la mia auto, che sono tornati come nuovi, mi erano avanzati altri dischetti, c'ho fatto anche i fari dell'auto di mia zia, con sorprendente risultato anche su questi, che erano nella stessa condizione dei miei. Consiglio per la lavorazione di usare un trapano a corrente di bassa potenza in quanto è leggero e molto manovrabile. Tanto non bisogna fare troppa forza sennò si rischia di rovinare il faro. Uno spruzzino con acqua, per la terza parte della lavorazione e dei panni dismessi da usare come stracci per pulire durante le varie fasi. I miei fari non erano in condizioni pessime, ma iniziavano ad avere le fastidiose macchie opacizzanti, così come l'altra auto. Prodotto buono e a basso costo, con risultati eccezionali!
