Headlight Lens Restorer

1. Wash headlight lens to remove surface dirt.
2. If lens to be restored is next to painted surfaces, use masking tape to protect the paint.
3. Apply Lens Clarifying Compound to a cotton cloth. Rub compound over entire lens using firm pressure. Buff with clean terry cloth. Restore only one lens at a time. If lens does not come clean with Lens Clarifying Compound, proceed to Step 4.
4. Apply Spray Lube to Level 1 pad (green pad) and to lens to be restored. Use pads on only those areas requiring restoration. Begin rubbing the Level 1 pad, using firm finger pressure, in a back and forth motion over the lens, continuing until much of the oxidation is removed. Use the Spray Lube as necessary to keep the lens and pad wet. The green Level 1 pad will require the longest use.
5. Immediately switch to the Level 2 pad (brown). Rub back and forth in the opposite direction (90 degrees) of the Level 1 pad for about 1 minute, keeping the pad and lens surface wet using the Spray Lube. Switch to the Level 3 side of the final pad (purple) and repeat the process for 1 minute. Flip to the Level 4 side of the final pad (blue) and repeat the process for 1 minute.
6. Dry the lens with a cotton towel. Lens Clarifying Compound and rub thoroughly back and forth until the lens clarifies. Let compound dry to a haze and buff with a cotton cloth. Lens Clarifying Compound can be applied by machine with a foam pad at 1500 RPMs.
7. Apply a high-quality vehicle wax, such as Turtle Wax® Super Hard Shell® paste or liquid wax, to seal and protect the lens.

I have an 04 Santa Fe myself and my headlights have that oxidized but not quite yellowed look, especially across the middle where it's really obvious when the lights are on. I have tried Blue Magic headlight restorer and it only got rid of the surface stains. How long did it take to do both lights? I was worried that using this kit would make my headlights worse because of the sanding but you did a great job on yours. I'll definitely invest the $10 bucks to try it on my headlights. Great video.

@ea0529 Thanks for the kind words. The process took about 45 minutes a light including me talking to the camera.
