NuLens Headlight Restorer Kit

Mothers NuLens Headlight Renewal Kit is engineered to quickly and safely clean, restore, maintain and protect smooth, shiny plastic and acrylic headlights. Popular with professional detailers, this kit easily removes yellowing and stains, and even buffs out unsightly hairline scratches, smudges and flaws in a single process. The included PowerPlastic 4Lights polish restores crystal clarity, leaving a tough protective, oxidation-inhibiting polymer layer to guard against future degradation from the elements.

How do headlight restoration kits work?

Headlight restoration kits work using a 3 step process. The effectiveness depends on the severity of the damage, and the restoration process requires some effort. First, you remove the damaged layer using abrasive compounds and wet-sanding which wears away the oxidized and discolored top layer of the plastic headlight lens. Next the polish is applied to shine and clarify the newly exposed surface. The polishing process restores clarity, and the final crucial step is applying a sealant on top of the polish, often with more UV protection, to prevent the plastic from hazing again. Hazing will naturally reappear over time and regular, monthly inspection of restored lenses is recommended. Typically, you can expect to see clarity decline within a year. Reapplying sealant or a separate clear coat after polishing can help to protect against future UV damage and enhance the longevity of the restoration process.

Each automotive kit includes a small 8 fl oz. bottle of PowerPlastic 4Lights polish which restores crystal clarity, PowerBall 4Lights polishing tool, Quick Swap 3” backing plate, and headlight lens restoration discs to get back to crystal clarity in minutes. Components are reusable, keep the kit stored in your car or in your garage to access it whenever you notice stains starting to form.

Directions for Using the NuLens Headlight Renewal Kit:

1. Spray the headlight to remove loose dust and grit. 
2. Tape off the outer edges of the light lens to prevent scratches, abrasion or damage the paint or trim.
3. Grab your power drill and place the adapter on the drill bit (You can do the entire headlight renewal by hand, but it will take a lot more time and energy).
4. Using the lens restoration discs, and working from the most aggressive grain to the finest, slowly sand away the damaged surface of the lens until smooth. Surface will be cloudy, but yellow stained layer should wear away as you work to remove the outer, most damaged surface.
5. Install the PowerBall 4Lights polishing tool. Place a small amount of the polishing compound onto the center of the Powerball. Start the drill at a slow speed and spread the compound over the entire lens in a slow, back-and-forth motion.
6. Work in small, overlapping areas to ensure even coverage and achieve maximum clarity. The process time really depends on how advanced the damage is to the lens surface.
7. Grab your buffer tool and polish each headlight for about 10 minutes. You should notice a vast difference in the clarity of the headlights!
8. Seal the surface with a clear coat or ceramic coating for max protection and longevity!
