    Thumbs up DP Total Headlight Restoration Kit

    DP Total Headlight Restoration Kit

    2009 Honda Accord w/ 70k miles. Outside 100% of the time since I bought it 2.5yrs ago...unknown before that. Headlights just had some trouble spots mostly on top of the lens. But there were little scratches from ice removers that annoyed me as well.

    Used Makita XPH012 18V LXT as in Nick@Autogeek's review here.

    I spent maybe 10-15min total on each headlight. I am VERY satisfied with the results.



















    Some more misc pics...

    I love it, I havent sanded a headlight since I bought this combo!!! Works on the majority of them without sanding.

    Very nice. What's the durability like on the protectant?

    The protectent needs to be applied monthly. I'll probably pick up some opti-lens soon.

    Great results! Seems a lot quicker/easier than the sanding method. Has anyone used this system on heavily oxidized lights?

    Who told you DP's Headlight Protectant needs to applied monthly? I double checked the directions and didn't see that mentioned:

    The drivers side headlight was pretty bad in my DP AIO review:

    Guz - last time I saw the Subaru in my review the headlight still looked perfect. I'll take some photos and updated my original review with a 4 month durability check.

    Thanks for the reply. I agree, those lights were pretty trashed. This system seems to work really well. I'll have to try it out.
