they sell a kit at walmart that does the same thing for $20. you dont even need a kit, just some sand paper and polishing compounds

[Mooneggs]

alls I have to say is PRIMER and CF FTW

oh and the headlights look nice too

I bought a bottle of this stuff specially made for it at canadian tire for like $10. There was enough to do my lights and my friends lights, with alot still left over. It didn't turn out as well as yours, but that's because I got lazy after a while.

You can polish them clear, but it only last like 3 months.

My best results were using the metal polish to start, than finishing with the plastic polish

It's worth $30.

i'd pay 30 bux for sure, it's a lot of work i don't want to do.
if you guys were in calgary i'd get it done for sure

k so the point of this was to help people out who WOULD like this done
not for people to mention how they do it themselves and how this is what they
use and this is what they pay $30. for mint headlights is a deal to me
i dont wanna sound like a d--- ...but i made this for people who dont have the time
or the patients or knowhow to do the lights .. so please leave this for people who
would like this done or interested people
thanks

if time is an issue, you're gonna spend more time taking the lights off and sending it to this guys then just doing it yourself.

[96mx-3]

i guess this is just a waist of time... every one has a smart answer for every thing ...
just trying to be a good guy and help out people but apparently every one can do everything
themselves .. so thanks for your time ..if there is anyone who would like this done
im still going to do it ..
thanks guys
ahaha

I misunderstood as well... I didn't realize this was an "offer your services thread"... and I just realized that this was the Ontario club only... makes sense if you are local and can go by the guys shop but as others have stated... taking the lights off and shipping them is not practical...

and from what I have found on the mx-3 most people are more interested in figuring out how to do it themselves... especially when there are mutliple threads on this site on how to make the headlights look like yours (or even better)

go out to your local parts store, and look for Claybar...it can be used on your whole car, as well as the headlights...for 25 bucks the kit includes detail spray, wax, and a bar of clay..the idea is to use the clay and the detail spray, and basically "wetsand" your car..you spray a small area with the detail spray, and use the clay to go over the wet area..it will clean off any dirt/grit that is stuck in the clear coat...i tried this stuff for my first time last week on the mx3..it worked amazing..it doesnt take long...i tried it on the headlights aswell..it worked just as amazing and got rid of that nasty yellowish color...also a bar of clay will last a very long time, and will do up to 4 cars

Honestly, polishing your headlights doesn't take much time. We're posting that info up because we're sharing that it is; just-that-easy and there's really no reason to pay for that service.

Just sounds like you got upset because you were advertising your buddies services to make a few bucks on something that there so much info on how to do them on here that it's not a problem, and it's so easy, everyone's grandmother could do it.

So this is what I used, 3M Headlight Restoration Kit, took less than 30 min for both lights. Everything you need comes in this kit


Now, masked off all the trim so it doesn't get damaged


first step: 500 grit


second step: 800 grit


third step: 3000 grit wet sanding


final step: polish
