I've done a similar process on my truck this year and the results were great. Some elbow grease west sanding from 600 up to 1200grit, and then buffed to wonderful polish, 2 hours or so. But those headlights are pretty expensive, and with a pair of new E46 lenses costing $70, I recently just installed new lenses, and that took me about 15 minutes. I guess it depends on how you value yoru time, but even if you value it low, I'd rather put that time into another higher value project on the ZHP etc........

So these were OEM lenses for $70 total for the pair? That's not bad. For a sedan, it sounds like an easy fix/decent trade-off. Where did you get yours? For coupes/verts, we'd have to bake the lights to get the lenses off, they don't snap on like sedan, so cleaning is likely the better way to go.

Curious how this is holding up on the OP's Jeep? My wife's Jeep looks just as bad. But I have done other kits to some friends cars and they always get bad really fast due to the UV coating being removed in the restoration process. Just wondering if 3M holds up well?
