Deciding between the hundreds of headlight restoration kits on the market shouldn’t be as difficult of a task as it is. All of the big automotive companies have produced a headlight restoration kit and some have even produced multiple “upgrades” of their previous version.
When it comes down to deciding, you should narrow it down to three things — Brand, Tool Requirement, and Reviews.
Brands
While we would recommend looking at reviews of each product that you may be deciding to purchase, we understand brand affiliation. Many people have heard of companies like 3M, Meguiars, Mothers, and Turtle Wax. Some other lesser known names in the headlight restoration business include: Wipe New, Sylvania, and even Rain-X!
Companies like 3M and Meguiars are huge and are very well known among the consumer market and their marketing helps when choosing a headlight restoration kit.
Tool Requirements
We understand that consumers sometimes don’t have the necessary power tools to complete a project. That’s why we reviewed a bunch of tool-less headlight restoration kits and described their strengths and weaknesses.
For the consumer that does have a drill, we recommend checking our list of Drill-Based Headlight Restoration Kits. Typically, power tools give consumers the muscle power required to achieve better results. Utilizing a drill with a headlight restoration kit will cut down on time and help with the removal of stubborn oxidation.
Reviews
Reviews are the best way to know if a product actually performs to the manufactures specifications. There have been plenty of times that a manufacture claims that you can restore you headlights in one easy swipe of some mystery product. By not being affiliated with any one brand in particular, we can provide honest reviews and point out faults.
