Is it good to clean/restore auto headlight/headlamp covers?

I have not used it in that way. I have a hot tub cover and the cover for the truck bed. Also used it on the rubber gasgets and step for the truck. It's a good product. Many uses.

Although I haven't used it for this purpose, i would expect if to perform well. I've only used it on my vinyl spa cover that bakes in the AZ sun. I've also used it on the vinyl strips on the hot tub steps to keep them from drying out. This product has many uses and so far is the best for vinyl

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.

I didn't try it on the headlights, just the interior door trim. I just received and applied Klasse Vinyl, leather, rubber and plastic cleaner and conditioner and it works great. Went on uniform and leaves a satin (non-glossy) finish. I would recommend that product instead.

This will make your headlight look much clearer. It takes the dullness from the headlight, it makes it shine and look new.

I bought it to replace fog lights and I do satisfy with the result. I would not buy this to replace the headlight if i were you.

Yes. I have washed mine by hand and also been thru several car washes. No problems whatsoever. Love this light. Looks real good especially at night time

I did it an hour and a half. Looks great. Search 3m headlight restoration on youtube to see how the pros do it. I may go that route next time.

You can remove it and check to make sure all connections are tight. I would not try to clean it with any kind of spray or liquid cleaner as it could damage electrical components. My lights were acting crazy, dome light would go off and on by itself while driving and even when the truck was parked with no key in ignition, replacing this module took care of my problems and is very easy to do. Hope this helps.

I am not a scientific expert. My headlight cover had cataracts. The outside lens had a film which diffused the light and stopped a lot of the light lightening up the road for me. The outside lens cover was no longer clear. The product vastly removed most of the film. The outside lens cover is not 100% clear. I followed the directions and tried to get the outside lens back to its original perfect condition. But I got about 95% of the film off and the headlights do a lot better for me.

I had one headlight replaced and the new one became cloudy after only 3 years.This cleaner worked great. I don't think the age of the light is the issue. If the lens is cloudy this will work well.

I have not used Deft to restore auto headlights. I used a Sylvania Headlight Restoration Kit and am very please with the results.

You can re-use the sand paper and wax but the headlight sealer wich is like a clearcoat is for one use only

It's good at cleaning anything plastic, and leaves a reasonable, temporary, coating. It will not restore care headlights, if that's what you're looking for, but it will, if used regularly, slow down the normal UV decay and crazing. It's a good plastic cleaner.

Never have used for such. Many specific kits exist, but have know many to use a grainy toothpaste and light buffer for headlight cleaning.

I would not recommend this product, it only removes partial oxidation. You have to careful with any chemical that removes haze on your headlights. Wash your hands and have plenty of ventilation. Crest or Colgate toothpaste works just as good, google it or youtube -how to restore headlights with ordinary toothpaste.

Yes, but instead of elbow grease use a hand drill to renovate the surface with the kit materials unless you like the exercise. My 22 year old pickup had more issues with surface damage to the headlights than yellowing. Johnny

I suppose it would be as it doesn't take much power to do so; you can restore headlights by hand or electric drill pretty easy too (the polish does most of the work). If the car is of value I personally would remove and work on the headlamp off the vehicle - removing it will minimize risk and give you a better quality/more uniform resurfacing. If you are removing the headlamp the pad size isn't really an issue anymore either. The Meguiars Headlight Restoration product (which should be available locally to most) comes with a drill chuck/buffing wheel insert & works extremely well for consumer level uses.
