OK but...
...this works well on minor problems but on the whole didn't do much for my lenses even with hand sanding (1500 & 2000 grit). Try the 3M kit instead as it works faster and does a much better job. The 3M kit restored my '03 Audi TT lenses to about 85% of their original clarity. If you do buy the Meguiar's there are several videos and step by steps online that can help you to get better results. Just search "Plastx"
Simple and it works but could last longer
I couldn't find any reviews on how long this product's effect last when I was considering buying it. So this may help some of you on the fence. My cars are not garaged and sit in the sun & elements 24x7.
The product is simple to install on my power drill. I had to be very careful about the speed & angle of the drill because even though the pad is soft, the plastic backing of the pad can scuff up the plastic headlight. I had to keep it perfectly perpendicular to the lens's surface. Secondly, the pad quickly becomes matted but simply rinse with water and spin it dry to clean it.
The result is almost instantaneous and makes my headlights look between 90% to 99% new. It made cloudy headlights crystal clear again; fine small scratches disappeared too. The large chips and deep cracks won't go away since this is only a polishing and not sanding "restoration". It doesn't leave a slick or oily residue...just a smooth finish.
Importantly for me though was how long my headlights would keep its like-new look. About a month after my first treatment, and the headlight is beginning to cloud up again and looks about 80% new/clear. This isn't a permanent fix but a less expensive alternative to completely replacing your headlights. It is easy and quick to use and if it only requires reapplying once a month then it works for me.
Works as advertised
Used the kit on a 2000 Subaru with hazy plastic headlight covers. Took my time and buffed a small section at a time. Polished up the headlights as good as new. There are still little dings in the headlight, but now nice and clear. If the headlight is cracked and has moisture and stuff on the inside, this will clearly not fix that so don't expect it to. Follow directions and it works. Use a plug in grill unless you have a couple of batteries for your cordless.
