Used: BlueMagic Headlight Restorer.
No Sandpaper needed.
I only used a rough wash cloth.
I only had to put a dime size of BlueMagic on the cloth and rubbed it on the headlight lens for a couple of minutes. I then Washed it off. I applied it one more time only using about a dime size and washed it off again. Now looks like a new headlight.
The pictures dont give the product justice!
Good work!!!!
I guess those are nice headlights but some of us were looking for something different.:drool:
Just kidding!!!! Or maybe not!!!
Do I really want these guys looking at your headlights? Even those? Mmmm, nope like these guys, just not that much!!!!
Looks nice.... But to be fair those wasn't bad enough to need sand paper either!!! I used the same stuff on my bonneville and wow.. it made it 200x's worst and showed all of the areas that needed to be sanded. But after a light 2000/3000 grit sanding and more blue stuff it looked great...
I just used some of that Blue Magic on the '03 ES I just picked up. I was impressed to say the least. I thought I was going to have to pull out the 3M headlight restorer and there is no need to now!
I saw the videos on Youtube and thought it was a hoax for sure. But then I bought some of the Crest whitening toothpaste, and used is on each headlight and after rinsing off the lights, I was amazed they were clear. I understand this is only temporary and will need to be done again, but I am still shocked it worked.

I used one of those fancy kits, had to re-do it, and then put regular wax on it... makes it last longer, and then use Ultimate compound whenever things start to fog again.
I've tried several of the kits, as well as the blue stuff with 2000g sandpaper, and it lasted for about a year each time...Now the headlights are back to being foggy, and it may be worse than it was before.
I always just used 800 grit wetsanded then move up to 2000 grit wetsanding and then using plastic restoring and then onto rubbing compound. Still under $10
Not bad at all... I use Megs heavy duty headlight restoration kit which is more expensive, but needs some sanding. Will try this product soon and hope to get the same result.
Do you mean Rubbing Compound or Polishing Compound? Both are commonly available at many stores. Rubbing compound would be very course compared to the polishing compound.
I could imagine rubbing than polishing might be real good.
the 3m headlight restoration kit finishes off with rubbing compound.
the lights look factory new (or friggin close to it) in my experience.
some people make the mistake of spraying clear-coat and other crap that makes them look horrible.
You can find both in cans like this at many Auto Parts stores and more....
Here's some examples..in this case Turtle wax....
Polishing compound
And the same manufacturer for rubbing compound
Like i said the polishing Compound will be a finer abrasive than Rubbing compound. It might not cut heavy oxidation as fast as the rubbing compound.
If the Rubbing compound works for you, I'd be curious to see if following it with polishing compound makes it look even better.
I'll be experimenting with Polishing compound on my original MSRT8 headlights which have developed a case of the creeping crud...aka oxidation on them.
I'll check into the 3M Rubbing Liquid stuff. I'm guessing it's somewhere between the Rubbing and Polishing pastes.
