    Headlight Restoration

    I gave my first try at headlight restoration on a 1998 Ford Explorer. I started out with a Meguiars Headlight Restoration Kit. I added M105 to get at fading the supplied PlastX couldn't touch. I sealed it with M21.

    Looks good but the pic is of two different sides so it's hard to tell the actual difference.

    What's M21? How is it applied?

    It is Megs #21 sealant which can be purchsed at AG. apply just like any other paint sealant. directions say to apply and let sit for 20minutes and then remove.

    can be applied via machine or hand
