Headlights oxidize when exposed to the sun’s UV rays. Headlight lenses come with a clear coat to help prevent this, but eventually, the coating wears off, and sunlight turns the hard plastic yellow or gives it a milky/cloudy appearance. Using a headlight restoration kit like the Turtle Wax Headlight Lens Restorer improves lens appearance and visibility for safer driving.
Designed to remove both light & heavy oxidation and yellowing to improve headlight performance.
Saves money as there is no need to spend hundreds on new headlights.
Superior results without the need for a drill or a power tool.
New and improved kit has ceramic wipes for protection lasting up to one year.
Directions:
1. Wash and dry headlights to be restored.
2. Use masking tape to protect surround areas.
3. Lightly shake the Headlight Lens Repair & Renew compound.
4. Apply the compound to a microfiber towel and spread product evenly over dull headlight surfaces with moderate pressure and slow back and forth motion for 30 seconds. Buff area dry with a dry microfiber towel. Repeat if necessary to achieve max clarity. If headlight is not evenly restored, proceed to sanding step.
5. Sanding Step: use tap water to wet headlight and sanding pad. Use finger pressure on green pad #1 and rub side to side of dull or damaged areas for 30 seconds keeping pad surface wet with water. Flip over to #2 side and rub in the opposite direction and only on damaged area. Wipe lens with a dry microfiber towel.
6. Reapply the compound for 30 seconds over the entire lens with more pressure on sanded areas. 7. Wipe dry. Repeat to achieve max lens clarity. Restore both headlights before applying Ceramic Acrylic Wipe.
8. Open one Ceramic Acrylic Wipe wearing enclosed glove and apply quickly over both headlights using even back and forth strokes. Let headlights dry about 3 to 5 minutes. Coating will fully cure in 24hrs.

Pan TheOrganizer thank you so much Pan
I didn’t mean to call you Alan !!
Incidentally TW Ceramic Wet Wax is the same price over here
Hi Pan Thank you for your video clips. What do you recommend / what are your tips in removing the streaks on the side windows? Do you think soft claying/ clay cloth / polish would do the job? Thanks for all your help and efforts.

Thank you so much for this. I was just looking at my headlights last night and hoping to restore them. This video just motivated me to do it.
You can do it!
Pan, thank you so much for this recommendation, I went out today and purchased the kit for around ten dollars and can home to my garage and started on my headlights and to my surprise I only had to use the polishing cream to clean off my lens followed by the spray lubricant and the Base Coat and Lens Sealing wipes. My SUV is ten years old so it looks like I got some new headlights.
This a real great product and so so easy to you.
Thanks for the feedback. Except one note. You got the old kit (the new kit doesn’t have a spray lubricant and the new wipes are ceramic wipes). The new kit was litterally just released and is currently only available in USA.
Pan, really enjoy these how to videos you do. Very helpful to a lot of inexperienced people.
Glad to hear it!
Does a great job for negligible price. Oncoming drivers now occasionally flip headlights, thinking I’m on high beams. Did have to redo application of protectant, but well worth it. Thanks for the help. I’m a regular watcher now.
I restored my 1999 Chrysler Sebring conv. headlights with the older kit. Stunning results!
Thanks Pan you save me money with this information and I love trying to do it at home in Australia.
Happy to help!
I still love the into. Paaaaaaaaaan the organizer. Never ever let that go. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey 👋... yes im vry fan to !! :)
Thanks!
Really? You like the intro? I'm hoping for an English, French and intro-less version. Seems cheesy. But, thats me.
@@timkinley1779 No, I made the comment because I didn't like it. What kind of question is that? You can hope for whatever you want however it's not your channel. You do have the option to make your own version though. Please post a link when it's finished. :-D
Flash Garcia you’re not a fan then, don’t belong here and you must be so much fun at parties. Set up a go fund me account so I can send you a sense of humor.
Thanks Pan for helping people. I always enjoy helping my customers with their headlights providing them the full headlights details
Cheers from France
Glad to help :)
Another great video!.. keep it up!!.. love the education!!.. you have taken me from knowing nothing about detailing to having a good basic understanding and I thank you!!
I appreciate that!
Hi Pan, I get excellent results using my DA with an orange pad and some Menzerna FG500. It comes up brilliantly. Then I seal it with any sealant I use on the paint. 6 months later and the headlights still look great.
Hand polishing does work, I've tried it, but the DA makes the work so much lighter and quicker.
Of course. If you have the tooks and experience, proper machine polishing is always best. 👍🏻
Yes, I have purchased that same kit(20 of them) and have restored about headlights for about 10 cars that had then heavily oxidized. Lots of my clients have requested their headlights to be properly restored and this Turtle Wax product has been my only choice of product because of the excellent results. Doing detailing as a side job for 6 years I have also used for the last 10 years on my cars their 2 in 1 headlights cleaner and sealant, unbeatable product and price. Love when family companies remain and step up their products at giant steps like Turtle Wax has done. My grandfather from my mother's side died at 98 2 years ago and he always used Turtle Wax since the day it started and still at 95 he used Turtle Wax products to wash and wax his car.
Xoxo from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
Thanks for sharing your experience Humberto. You probably tried the previous version, as this new kit with ceramic wipes uses less products, less sanding discs and is quicker to use. It was just released. You would like this even more I'm sure. ;)
@@PanTheOrganizer Well, the headligth lens restorers that I have purchased, I purchased in November 2019 and looked exactly like the one you have shown on the box. My boxes have the 2 polishing pads in green and blue with #1 and #2 instead of green and tan or brownish color like yours, as well it has as spray lubricant, a lens clarifying compound and base coat & lens sealing wipes. How do we know if the one I have is Ceramic or not? I have a serial number of one of them 0 74660 00240 7, also has another number printed like in a dot matrix letter type that says 2002100001CR DOM210120
The new product comes with more sanding steps and a base coat. In 2022 I was still able to follow along and definitely saw an improvement in my headlights. Thanks Pan!
Thanks for the feedback Kate! And for the update. :)

Couldn't agree more!
Another fantastic product from Turtle Wax! I appreciate the excellent step-by-step method in the application of this product.
Super good video pan!!

What a coincidence! I'm doing my daughter Honda Civic 2010 I've successfully used the Sylvania product. I might try this one out. Thanks Pan. It's a nice DIY project that give a great sense of accomplishment.
My pleasure Raul. It's always fun when you can do a DIY project at home and be satisfied of the results without having to spend much.
another amazing Saturday upload from pan. it's so nice to see your face!!!! hang in there!!!
Thank you!!
I have to say thanks Pan for the video. My mother's car headlights were awful but the Turtle Wax restoration kit worked like a charm. Had great results!
Thanks for watching! How did you discover my channel?
I was looking at different car detailing videos and came across yours. Watched and had to subscribe! You give very good advice and info for DIY guys and I have learned a lot from your videos.
Thanks for the positive feedback! Since you subscribed to my channel, let me officially welcome you to the Pan TheOrganizer family!
What’s your favourite video on my channel so far?
@@PanTheOrganizer I enjoy all of your videos. The videos I enjoy the most are are the ones where you demonstrate how to detail, outside & inside, properly and your product videos and how to use them.
I’ve used this kit. It worked well for mildly oxidized headlights, not as good on more heavily oxidized headlights that required a heavier sanding.
Correct. For heavy oxidation, the only solution is a full water sanding, machine polishing, IPA wipe and ceramic coating application.
Another really good video. I can see this working for a headlight that doesn't have much "tint". I've found that it is way easier to use a kit and a drill in the event there is heavy oxidation.
Thanks Mike! Yes this is good for a light to medium restoration. If the lights are beyond oxidized and yellowed, then the full blown restoration with water sanding, different grits of sand paper, followed by heavy machine polishing and ending with a ceramic coating is a good avenue.
Well done; clear explanation - thanks for the links. I’ll be giving it a try soon and post my results as well.
Thanks for watching Walter!
Greetings from Singapore. I don’t usually subscribe to many channels but yours is one that I feel that I should. Good job for your reviews, very detailed and easy to comprehend. You deserve way more subs than this👍🏻 keep it coming
Thanks! Since you subscribed to my channel, let me officially welcome you to the Pan TheOrganizer family!
How did you discover my channel?
Pan TheOrganizer Like many viewers here I have always been buying car stuffs to DIY and before buying anything I would do my homework by searching CZcams. After watching countless videos, I find your comparison the most comprehensive, easiest to comprehend and sincere. Your videos are also not too lengthy. Maybe you can do more comparisons between Soft99 products (smooth egg platinum, King of Gloss etc) with some American products as I personally find Soft99 products really good and inexpensive. I layer them on my Carpro Cquartz cos their waterbeading is insane.
I took 20 years off my headlights with this; I'm happy I didn't pay double the price for the higher-end packages. With patience and elbow grease, the Turtle Wax kit gave me beautiful results.
How has it faired?
@@FlyingSpaghettiMonster2000 for the price it's definitely worth it; I got more than half the clarity back for under $15
I'm glad i watched this video. Im detailing my friends car for her in a couple weeks and her headlights definitely need to be restored! Thank you, sir for being so in depth and informative in your videos!
Glad I could help. How did you discover my channel by the way Evan?
@@PanTheOrganizer I believe I was searching for a match up video of mega foaming shampoos to see which company's product I'd use and I stumbled upon your channel.

The results look PAAANNNNtastic for the value. That CX 5 is a lucky car. I’m definitely gonna have to try this for our Subaru that sits outside 24/7 in the baking California sun. Thank you for another awesome video Pan!!
Thanks!
Pan's the type of guy to pillow restore before going to bed
LOL

:)
Used the Sylvania kit and really impressed with results.
Crazy, I just got asked today if I do head light restoration. Thanks for another great vid Pan 👍🏼
Any time!
Another good one Pan . Took another big step in building up my Detailing arsenal today. Picked up the new MTM foam cannon and spray gun . Got the 50 ft cobra jet hose as well .
:)
Thank you Pan! I'm needing to restore my Avalon's headlamps, same condition as the demo Mazda, and wondering how I wanted to approach it. This kit looks awesome. 👍 I'll be picking this up this weekend. Turtle Wax certainly has upped their game. Take care. 👍👍👍
You are welcome!
Thanks for the review, I was just thinking of doing that. Will look for that kit.
The new kit is currently only available in the USA. Link in the description under the video.
Loved the review as usual Alan
Thank you!
I went to my favourite auto parts store over here
They had it on the shelf!!
However it was $A40 which is $US 27 or $CN 37!!!
It was probably the old version. The new version with ceramic wipes has just been released and is currently only available in USA.
Luv the way u explain each and every aspect... respect..Pan the legend 🇨🇦
Thanks Kunal!
Hey bud. I personally have restored hundreds of headlights. The kit you used is ok for mildly oxidized headlight. I recommend the 3M kit with a 3 step dry/wet sand method and finishing compound. I always use a good ceramic coating after the compound and so far I've never had a headlight that I couldn't render back to ORIGINAL clarity and shine. Love your videos. You're the man Pan!
Yes Steven, this kit is meant for light to moderate oxidation levels. It's simply meant for a DIY application, for someone who doesn't have the tools, time or experience, to dramatically improve the appearance of their headlights in a matter of minutes. But of course, for heavily oxidized headlights, I always recommend a full water sanding, machine compound and polish, IPA, and then a ceramic coat application.
@@PanTheOrganizer do either of you guys recommend ever using a UV/yellowing resistant clear coat spray on headlights after wet sand/compound/polish? Then ceramic on top of the clear coat? ChrisFix has a popular headlight restoration video on here from almost a decade ago where he uses a Rustoleum 2K clear gloss, and I was wondering what your thoughts are. Thanks for the great videos!
I’m finding a lot of video gems of yours I’ve missed. Great content. 👍Ive used the cerakote recently with good results. Would you say there are perhaps 3 levels of lens degradation? 1) scratched and fully frosted needing fairly aggressive sandpaper stepped down to 2000-3000. 2) heavy oxidation but less scratching so simply a cut compound then a Polish plus sealer at the end. 1) fairly clean but swirled lenses using an all in one like your video on Rupes Uno Advanced. I used a Cerakote ceramic wipe but I’m wondering In future about using a Two part 2k actual clear coat spray assuming that would be even more durable?
Nice product. Just placed my order on Amazon. Thank you Pan.
👍🏻
Great review Pan!! Product looks good!
Thanks Mike!
It looked like a lot of the scratches were left over on the headlights at the end. RainX sells a product very similar to this but it comes with 4 different sanding surfaces, the last two are a much finer grit. I think it does a much better job of smoothing the clear down so you don't get those visible scratches. But they both have similar results in any case. Great video Pan!
Thanks! Again, these DIY kits aren't meant (in my opinion) to achieve perfection. There's so much a $10 kit and spending less than 20 minutes can do. For perfection, you need more tools, products and need to spend more money obviously. This is a good solution for those who don't have too much experience, and who simply are looking for a quick and inexpensive way to enhance the look of their headlights without the use of tools.
Nice job pan!! Thanks for the demonstration i need to do my sister honda fit!!! And man her head lights need bad!! Thanks again 👍😎😁!!
Thanks Vince!
Turtle Wax is really knocking it out of the park with their new product offerings. Thanks for sharing this new product with us Pan.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this tip, corrected my friend's headlights on his Lexus RX and he's super happy because he thought he had to get rid of his headlights.
Glad I could help! How did you discover my channel Daniel?
I used the original Turtle Wax product on my Mk5 Rabbit years ago and loved it. I did go beyond what the direction said and ended up machine wet sanding w/600 grit sandpaper, then the clear coat. Headlights came out “perfect”. As new. I think if you’re going to go to the trouble to do it at all, spend a little more time and wet sand with really fine sandpaper.
👍🏻
Great video! My wife drives a 14 Subaru with the same issue in this video. I’m going to get that Turtle wax kit
Thanks for watching James!
Thanks for the video and the link to the kit. I'm glad to see that restoring the headlights is so easy, but I have a question and a suggestion. Question: why do you use a polish and then sand. The sanding completely negates all the polishing, since the polish is a much finer abrasive than the sandpaper. Why not just skip the first polish step and do the polishing after the sanding? Suggestion:when sanding, I have always added a drop or 2 of dish soap to a spray bottle of water. The soap helps lubricate the sandpaper just a little bit more than plain water withoutstopping the sandpaper from working and helps keep it from loading up from the particulates that you are sanding off.
Thanks a lot for Your professional Tutorials! Could this be also used to restore/refurbish worn-out partially intransparent Scale Model Aircraft Canopies? Best Regards from Germany
A word for your sponsors: I liked the video and the mode of application so i went out to Walmart today and got a pack for my car before i put it on sale.
Thanks Pan for another great video.
Normand , Rive-Nord de Montréal
Thanks for sharing!!
Got this from Canadian tire today on sale under 15 bucks,don't think it was the new and improved one but still worked great on my wife's 08 Odyssey. Like night and day.can I put a layer of carpro quartz as a protective layer?
Hey Pan, you do the best videos and your garage rocks thanks for all your help
Thanks!

Don’t forget, this headlights kit is meant for light to moderate oxidation. For very oxidized headlights, that are super milky white or yellow, you might need to use the traditional method of water sanding, machine polishing, IPA wipe and ceramic coating.

I appreciate that! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Pan! Stay awesome!!
Thanks, you too!
I have a drill and I’m looking for 3inch attachments ie the different grit sandpaper, cutting pads, polish pads, compound/ headlight protection chemicals to fully restore headlights from their worse.
I valet and don’t want to keep buying all in one kits like in this video. I’m asking for your advise before I buy, because I feel you are one of the best out there when it comes to Valeting.
Great video! Keep it up! We need moaaaaar!!
More to come!
Thanks for the review. These products are OK. The important thing is not to expect results lasting for years. Usually these are for 6 months+. Maybe because of the ceramic, this could go up to 12 months in this case. And I suppose, kept in the garage, could ladt even more. So expectation management is the key :)
I did a DIY job on the headlights of my Mums mk5 golf which are nutorious for yellowing and fogging and removed almost all of the yellowing and most of the fogging and nearly 2 years later the headlights still remain the same with little fogging at all and very little yellowness. This was done as a boredom experiment during lockdown and remain my only headlight restoration so I highly doubt that some amatuer like me did the perfect job which makes me believe you 6-12 months theory is nonsense.
Thanks Pan. This was a kit I was interested in. I'm going out to buy.have an awesome day.
Thanks, you too!
I will definitely be trying the new speed version thanks
Great video thank you for the information I love that finish on the floor on your garage what is that
Thanks David! It’s a specialized floor coating from a company called Beton Surface. I talk about it in my full garage tour video here: czcams.com/video/gyehNOd44SY/video.html

Another great post by the superstar!!
😎👍🏻
Just restored my headlights with this kit. Does a good job! So far so clear 👌
Great to hear!
Can this be done with tw PRO1 and done followed up with the wax to the max and then graphene FLEX or even just skip the 2nd and straight to third ?
Pick either Max Wax or Flex Wax. No need to apply both.
Excellent! I will try this👍
😁👍🏻
I use the 3m version of this and it works pretty well too
How this product compares to plasticx from meguiars? Thx!
will this method work if my headlights have minor scratches on them? They aren't faded at all but just some minor scratches on them!
going to give it a try.
Great video, Pan! Did anyone else notice Lexus GX470 headlight pictured on the kit’s package? I own one and that’s why I’m here checking out this video, my headlights are getting foggy looking. Thanks Pan!
Thanks!
Good video! You remind me of Dan Aykroyd from Ghostbusters
Your tutorials are great! Could you tell us what type of finish that you have on your garage floor because my concrete floor is as slippery as wet ice.
Thanks Dentici!! I talk about the flooring coating in my full garage tour video here: czcams.com/video/gyehNOd44SY/video.html
Yes, will be using.
Great demo - Thanks, Pan!!
One thing, though: In addition to providing lubrication, using water with sandpaper also keeps the sandpaper grit from getting clogged with waste material.
👍🏻
After sanding can you use a ceramic hybrid spray like McGuire's or even graphene instead of ceramic coating for similar effect?
The TSX finally had a bath today! the first thing I had noticed was the lousy appearance of the headlights. I just bought this kit. Thanks for a thorough video,helping demonstrate what's involved. How has the clarity held up on this vehicle? Thank You for sharing this. It felt so good to wash a car again! have a good week.
It was good for about 8-9 months. This is meant for a quick improvement on light to moderate levels of oxidation. Super easy to use, no tools. If headlights are super yellow and oxidized and cloudy, I would recommend the full water sanding, machine polishing and ceramic coating route, which obviously takes more time and tools.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks! I have the 3m kit that I bought from work. Maybe I will give that a try.... appreciate the feedback as always!
My pleasure Jay!
Hi Pan! I really enjoy watching your videos, to learn and get knoledge about the detailing world. Everytime I get motivated to do more stuffs on my car. So, with this in mind, will this product result in my tailights too? I have a 2011 Mazda 3 with clear plastic tailligths similar to your video headlights. Will I be able to do the same thing on the back of my car with this method of restoring headlights using the new Turtle Wax Headlight Lens Restorer kit?

And yes you can restore headlights and tail lights with a kit like this. Keep in mind this simple DIY kit is made for very light to moderate oxidation. If you have heavily oxidized and yellowed headlights, it's best to use a traditional restoration method of water sanding, machine polishing, etc.
Thank you for the tips :D

I saw a few videos on CZcams by other detailers and took their advice; all good. But one day I searched for the right way to clean wheels and tyres and I was greeted by you and so amazed by your enthusiasm. Since that video, I have always been looking to you to learn about essentially anything related to detailing and washing. The only challenge I have had was getting the right products to work with to get the incredible results I see that you get. I now order them from Amazon. Most recently, I got the Double Twistress which you recommended from The Rag Company, in another one of your great videos.
Thanks for the positive feedback!
You discovered one of the biggest and fastest growing detailing channels on CZcams as we’re about to surpass 750,000 subscribers and 100 million views. I have been detailing for 25 years and I love sharing my passion and knowledge with my viewers.
Note that I have a popular yearly car detailing products awards video where I pick my top three products in each category. Here’s the most recent awards: czcams.com/video/LkD22UGujmw/video.html
What country are you watching from?
@@PanTheOrganizer Trinidad and Tobago. It is the most southerly island of the Caribbean. Two islands, but one republic.
Cool! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦!
I like 3m's kit you use a drill with for more severe cases. Like a Mercede lights where the clear is yellowed and pealing
I recently restored the headlight lenses of a VW Toureg that were, if Pan said it, "baaaaaaad"!
Using a soap and water solution as a lube (1 ounce of Meguai's Hyperwash to 32 ounces of water) as a lube, I wet sanded with 800, 1200, 1500, 2000 and finally with a 3000 grit sanding pad to restore the clarity, compounded and polished them, then ceramic coated the lenses for protection.
great video once again pan , I am in the UK I just placed an order on amazon UK
Thanks Paul! Just keep in mind, this brand new version of the kit with ceramic wipes has just now been released in the USA, and is not available in the UK yet. So you ordered the older version.
I just bought Meguiars headlight restore it seemed to work all right
Pan your videos are amazing can you do a video about meguiars good class exterior trim restorer please for all the black plastic trim parts on the outside would greatly appreciate it
Can clearly see majority of the oxidation is still visible on the headights. Thanx for sharing but keep us updated on how long it actually lasts. Love your content all the way from 🇿🇦🇿🇦
As I clearly mentioned in the video, this kit is not to get absolute perfection. What it does is give a dramatic difference and good results with no power tools, very quick to do, visible difference, and super inexpensive. DIY solution that many will appreciate. Of course for ultimate results, a full restoration with sanding blocks, power tools, polisher, and more intense labor will always be perfection. ;)
@@PanTheOrganizer Hello Pan! Do you have a video of the professional way to do it, it will be very helpful
Project farm have tested a lot of headlights kit, the best was the 3M.
hellsing56666 - I believe the best kit was Sylvania.
Its a hand kit mate...
Your videos are good do you have one full Indepth on headlight restoration if so could you please direct me to it, and what do you recommend as a ceramic coating, easy to apply and will last more than a year . Thank you .
Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on CZcams as we surpassed 760,000 subscribers and are getting close to 100 million views! I have been detailing for 25 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.
You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
I do not have a more advanced headlight restoration tutorial yet, but will look into it in the future.
If you want the easiest to apply consumer grade ceramic coating that can last 1+ years, I recommend the one in my video here: czcams.com/video/Rgli6VNLsK4/video.html
Hey pan! Thanks for your videos! Just a question. I can restore my headlights with compounding and polishing my headlights with a DA Polisher? If not can you make a extensive tutorial about it?
With a D/A polisher and water sanding you can of course achieve near perfect results. I don’t have an advanced headlights restoration video yet.
Thank you Pan for your awesome channel, i have a question, instead of the wipes that come with these kit can i use ceramic coating (Wolfgang) since I’m about to do the whole car this coming weekend, thanks buddy stay well
I would do an IPA wipe before applying the ceramic coating.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Not bad for minimum effort. For light work that's probably a good option for most people. The garage I work in we use kits that require tools. Those aren't perfect either XD. I've found (for me) 800, 1200, 3000 grit sanding paper followed by rubbing compound then polish compound gives a really great result. Then end with a coating you like for protection. Tools are required and it does take about 2 hours to do. For less or no experience, no shop tools, and in less than 30 minutes, that's a good kit for people to follow and use.
your channel is awesome. Thank you sir
Thanks Jason!
If my car the light is really yellow wish is that gonna make it clear like that or I have to do something different
Great video Pan!! Which little brush are you using to clean the interior vents, etc? I don’t see the same one on your Amazon link from a previous video. Keep up the great work, you make it easy for us to take care of our precious vehicles.
Thanks John! Here's a link to the brush I like using: amzn.to/2CobQ3P
