Anyone know how is this 3M Kit compare to the Meguiar's Professional Headlight and Spot Repair Kit?

I understand mequiars has been picked up by 3m likely very similar. Trizac is the best and thats what they both advertise.

I beleive so and have always used other waxes and this one and have never had any issues with my headlights clouding or yellowing. The headlights have always stayed new lookign with every wax I have used and expect this to be the same with the 3M. Excellent protection it seems and superior beading with this wax!

I used the SilverStar Ultra a few times in each of my three cars. The longevity is lacking, especially if your headlights serve as daytime running lights. I now use PIAAs. They last longer than the SilverStars.

Well on my civic and bimmer it's lasted easily over 6 months and the clarity it still awesome. Even if it was an annual thing you did I'm sure your lights would look close to factory. Adding a clear coat will extend the yellowing / haze caused by UV. The system is well worth under 20 bucks. Id say aim for once every year and just keep your eye on it. Some material could react slightly different than others.

Scratch my answer: the headlamp is the same but set up is different on the one sent to me.

I was able to restore both headlights on my 2000 Dodge Caravan. The headlights were pretty "fogged" up. I used all of the pads that were included in the kit. The headlights turned out great!! I think I refinished them about 6 months ago and they still look great.

If you want the brightest I don't recommend this kit. There is better options on eBay. I recommend purchasing a 55 watt HID kit, the brand I used is VVME 55w hid xenon kit. They are the brightestHID bulbs you can purchase for under $100. They are higher wattage than your normal HID kits for the same price. I have installed over 10 HID kits and I found this is the best for the price.my best advice after you installed the HID kit make sure that you are just the headlights this process is different on every car.I currently have them installed on a 2012 Chevy Equinox the brightness is a lease double from factory OEM. Let me know if you have any other questions. If you want the brightest I don't recommend this kit. There is better options on eBay.

Bs"d I see you've been adequately answered already and hopefully not yet made the mistake of purchasing this item. The headlight broke the first time out and the taillight kept falling off until the last time when I did not hear it land.WORTHLESS PRODUCT! Better to save time and tear up the three bucks. Better to spend a little more and get something you can count on to protect you out in the streets at night.

Hi Brenda, I think it might be a nightmare to do such a large area; takes a lot of elbow grease. Maybe try something like this instead.Wipe New HDL6PCMTRRT Headlight Restore Kit

In comparison? I can only say that I went with the Xtravision because it seemed like a reasonable trade-off between brightness and longevity. The silver star ultra is advertised as bright as is legal, which means 3 things to me; annoying blue tint that weakens depth perception, so bright that you get other peoples high beams flashed at you a lot, and a significantly shorter life span. I have the Xtravisons in my car and am well satisfied, the better improvement that I made was to replace cloudy headlight lenses, big improvement in crappy weather because light goes out in front rather than scattered UP in front of you.

I bought two different 3M tapes to apply to a motorcycle helmet visor to mask glare from the sun. The 471 has a shiny finish and is very sticky (in a not so good way). The sides of the roll of tape is sticky and will not handle hot weather. The 764 finish has a semi gloss finish (I like it). The sides of the roll is not sticky and handles hot weather very well. I can lift the already applied 764 3M tape and reapply it with no residue or excessive stretching. I say go with 3M 764.

Hello!.... Technically, none. There's no difference between those two kits. Except for the color of the strobes.Regards.

I used it on my new car headlights no problem; also used a "restore headlight" kit from seen on tv or "renew" not sure of brand but you use various grades of sand paper & using gloves apply a ketone :sweet smelling liquid which clearifies the clear plastic of the light- You have to be sure its dry - no water and no oil so wash well let dry well and cover for overnight setting( BUT SURE YOU TENT UP THE COVER SO IT DOES NOT TOUCH THE HEADLIGHT I USED NEWSPAPER DO NOT USE PLASTIC!!!. I then used the 3M 39030 as a sealer because the directions call for you to apply a wax to seal after you are done. It works - gets rid of you "headlight cataracts" anyway. Last for "a lifetime" of about one year then have to repeat. Did this on my '99 Camry; 04 Camry & 08 Prius. Hope this helps.

no experience with Klasse. Have used Meguiars products for years. own vintage and modern vehicles. Used M21 on 70 Chevelle; 2008 Cadillac; 80 Vet. Was very pleased with the outcome on all finishes. how it lasts depends on exposure to the sun and elements. generally 3-6 months. hope this assists.

I've personally tried just about everything and I end up going back to PIAA. In terms of the quality and bulb life, I believe there's no comparison. Sylvania and GE have short life cycles. In terms of brightness, I find that PIAA is best. They're more functional than just looks. Depending on whether you have projector or multi reflector type, there is very little blue hue unlike others that omit way too much blue. I use PIAA HID, halogen and fogs on all my cars and very satisfied.
