Headlight restoration on a 2003 Toyota Sienna Van. The headlights weren't that bad but in need of some restoration. Here's a quick and easy method.

Before - headlights were taped off

Lights were cleaned with DP Waterless Wash and a MF towel

Headlights polished with DP AIO Headlight Restoring Polish using a cordless drill, Lake Country 3" drill backing plate & LC 3-1/4" thin foamed wool pad

Impeccable work, what to say, opened the car's eyes.

And also just sold a Cordless Drill polishing kit!

A pleasure to follow, thanks for sharing.

Kind Regards.

Thanks Rafael, that kit does a good job on headlights unless they are in real bad condition and require sanding.

I have an '05 & the discoloration/hazing seems to be also on the inside of the cover. I've read online where other folks had the same thing happen & they sealed the cover to the black plate, apparently there's a gap; did yours have hazing on the inside that you noticed?

There was no hazing on the inside that I noticed.
