I picked it up anyhow at walmart for 20 bucks. Easy to use & a great way to maintain your headlights after restoring them. After changing out new bulbs & a quick polish its amazing how well I can see at night!

I'll try it. I tried the Turtle Wax one and it worked but It still shows a haze.

I have the Turtle Wax Headlight restoration kit. It has the 3 different pads. It works great! the powerball is a great tool to upkeep the lights after they have been properly restored NOT a way to restore them without sanding though. I dont want you to buy the powerball thinking it will be the miracle cure without sanding.

That makes sense. I am struggling with the DS light. I used the turtle wax kit twice and it still has a haze. Its better but I have a long way to go. I was hoping that when I used something on a drill it would work better.

Get yourself some Meguiar's PlastX and a foam applicator pad and microfiber to clean afterwards. May take a few coats but it works. Works even better with an 8006 Meguiar's pad on a G100.If they are so hazed as my cousins are on his MDX then I would recommend getting low grit wetsand paper and going to town to clean them up, then you can use the swirl remover and PlastX to finish them up.I've seen a lot of the Mothers PB things in the store, but they seem kinda a cheap solution instead of picking up an actual waxer. And not the kind you get for $30 that just spin and sound like a dryer on tumble.

Just look at my sig. You can even see the haze there. I only had 1 application at that point. My second attempt came out a lot better but you can still see I have a long way to go.
