Formula 1 615874 Headlight Restorer (237 ml)

This has saved me a lot of money. Headlight restoration at local shop costs anywhere between 1000 to 1500 and if you go to a professional, he will charge you in excess of 3500 for something which this product has been doing at INR 356 for the past 2 years. Just 3-4 ml of solution is enough to restore 1 headlight from opaque yellow to crystal clear. Use a micro fiber cloth and apply this in circular motion using your hands.....no power tools needed. 5 mins of circular motion, followed by a clean swipe with a clean cloth. That's it. The headlights are restored. Its as simple as that. Highly recommended.

My car headlights had issues with clear coat since long. Tiny pieces of clear coat used to peel and get caught into MF clothes while cleaning the car. It became too annoying lately so I went ahead and fixed it. Its been few months now and today I had time to post the work details and results.Formula 1 Headlight restorer alone doesn't help, atleast in my case so I have used the following items also to get the job done: Formula 1 Headlight Restorer, Polishing Foam Pad + Backing Plate, Drilling Machine, Sandpapers of different grit (1200, 2000, 2500) and Strong Shampoo.Kindly note that this will not work on headlights that are faded or hazed inside. Also not on glass lenses. So please make sure of it before doing this DIY.Here are steps:1. Wash the headlights with shampoo and mask the surround area with masking tape. You can also remove the headlights if possible, so you can work on it easily.2. For faded headlights, use headlight restorer on the polishing foam pad (5" or smaller) fitted to drill or a rotary polisher or DA polisher. Gently polish the headlight and take a break every few mins to prevent heat. Wipe using dry microfiber cloth and check the progress.3. Incase the headlights are badly faded, you have to first wet stand using 2500 grit and then continue with headlight restorer as mentioned above.4. Incase the clear coat is peeling from the headlights (Like mine), you'll need to go little more aggressive. Wet sand using 1200 grit, then 2000 and finally 2500. Once all the clearcoat is removed, polish the headlights using headlight restorer as mentioned above.WARNING: USE SHAMPOO MIXED WITH WATER FOR WET SANDING. DO NOT USE PLAIN WATER AS IT WILL CAUSE DEEP SCRATCHES.5. Atlast when the headlights look crystal clear, you'll need to protect them from fading again. There are different ways to protect the glass. You can use wax, sealant or dashboard protectant/dresser but these will not last long so you have to apply them regularly without fail. Another way is to spray clear coat but it aren't gonna be easy task and there is a chance of peeling again in future.Meanwhile, I have come across Rust-Oleum Headlight Restoration Kit which includes headlight polishing pad, clear coat wipe and etc. This one is better for those who don't have polishing pads or polishing machine. However, keep sand papers handy especially for clear coat peeling headlights because this kit alone may not help in some cases.Formula 1 Headlight Restorer is a good product for faded headlights and works efficiently with polishing machine but when done by hand, it takes lot of elbow grease. The product says that it contains sealant but I doubt its durability.Finally here are results of my headlights restoration work.

Works as advertised but product leaking before usage. Bad packaging

I own a 2012 Maruti Ritz Vxi. I noticed the right headlight fading up sometime in 2016, after which the left one followed suit as well. I asked the showroom about the reason for the fading, but all i got were vague hems and haws and smiles and "it happens sometimes, can't do much about it". I was naturally dejected, since the light from the headlights was diffusing upward so badly that almost everyone flashed their lights at me at night, even when i was in low beam, with the height adjusted to the appropriate position.I watched a few videos on YouTube regarding remedies, but most of them involved a lot of sanding with different grit sandpapers, then using rubbing compounds and sealants. The restoration kits were expensive as well. Then i found this product that promised less work and less costs. Went for it on a dime.I must say, I'm pretty impressed! Though it did take a lot of hard work, the results made the efforts worthwhile. The headlights have regained about 90% of their original transparency, and they have a well-defined cut-off now. No more blinding oncoming traffic, yay!Will do one more round maybe the next weekend and will see if it goes to 100% transparency. Fingers crossed!

If this is used on the headlight this don't work actually i have bought to clean my headlight glass , the colour of the headlight become yellow which i have face the problem in the night So i have used this product to clean but it don't work
