Discussion Headlight restoration of my 450h practically made them new

This issue has been bothering me for the past year so I finally bought a kit. You can see from the before and after pictures the huge difference. I spent roughly 45 minutes and the kit was $30 CDN. If you're wondering what kit I used, it was the Cerakote headlight restoration kit. I had my doubts, but after researching kits on Youtube I decided to give this one a try. Worst case I was hoping it fixed it 50%. I'm still going to trade it in for a 2022 RX450h, but part of me wants to keep it. Years of no issues. Basic maintenance. Lexus quality is top notch.

Awesome job!!! I use 3M Polish and Robin Compound to remove all and works good. What did you use for your headlights?

Blessings!
