NAPA sells the same 3M refinishing kit, did my Camry last week and worked like a charm.

Thats the kit Ron. Glad it's still on sale. Like I told you a little while ago. It took me a while to do mine, because the more Miller Lite I drank the blurrier the lens looked, so I kept pollishing.

I used a kit from Advance Auto about 2 years ago and one lense has started fogging again a little more than the other.

The question is: Has anyone ever used one of the polishing kits like, or similar to, the one from Harbor Freight after they have had the water sanding & sealer kit used on them?

The reason I ask is because I had rather have a polished lense than one with all the sealer on it.

Just wondering if the polishing kit will remove the hard sealer. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jim

I just buffed my headlights with a buffing kit that I picked up at Napa for 20 bucks. It has a mounting pad for the drill and comes with 6 buffing pads. Made a big difference and only took me about 20 minutes tops to do both my headlights and my wife's van headlights. I take care of my wife's headlights during the off hours if you get my drift

Oh, and they all look almost new, it's sick what just a few minutes did to those lights.
