Our verdict

A drill-powered headlight kit for heavily oxidized lenses that sands, then seals with a ceramic wipe. It needs a drill, and one wipe covers two headlights.

Overview

Sanding with drill-powered discs strips heavy oxidation, then a pre-saturated ceramic wipe seals the fresh lens. Rust-Oleum includes three grits, gloves and a towel for a full restoration of two headlights.

Heavily yellowed lenses that wipe-only kits cannot fix get a sanding stage here. You supply the drill, and the single wipe limits it to one pair of lights.

Who it's for

Older cars with deeply oxidized lenses suit the sanding stage. Lightly hazed lenses may need only a wipe-on product.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Three grit stages
  • Drill speeds up sanding
  • Gloves and towel included
Cons
  • Drill not included
  • One wipe covers two headlights
  • Cannot fix internal fogging

Performance notes

Progressively finer discs remove the yellowed layer and then smooth out sanding marks so the lens looks clear. The ceramic wipe lays down a protective coat that blocks UV from re-yellowing the plastic. Even drill speed and light pressure avoid heat marks on the lens.
