    Headlight Restoration

    My headlights on my 06 MR were yellowing and had a couple of stain looking things on them. I went ahead did my research and decided to go with the Mother's head light restoration kit. after a couple hours of following step by step by step, my headlight came out looking WORSE than before.Â*

    Can anyone point me to someone (or some shop) that can restore my headlights? i'm hoping that the mother's kit didnt do more damage than repairable.Â* Â*

    I learned that doing it by hand is too much work and sometimes end up horrible. So I redid mines with a porter cable, and it's awesome :D

    Honestly man use a buffer ( porter cable if possible) and some wax.
    It will leave them good as new. Left mine spotless.

    Buff on buff off lol

    I'll be away this week . You should hit up the car wash place across from Toshi's Sushi. They do headlight restoration for cheap :D hence I got the idea to buff the shit out of mines :P

    many people have different techniques and favor certain products/brands. Ive lost count how many headlights ive restored to new with lasting results. im sure there's a hand full of people on the forum that would vouch for my work. depending on where your located lmk if your interested O0

    Do it once, get a film protection, done... it's a matter of the person waxing the headlights monthly to maintain it's condition.
