    I used it on my '04 Mercedes with 248K. Worked better than I expected. It was way noticeable driving at night as my headlights illumination was much improved. This is a good product as advertised!

    FYI, I bought this at John's recommendation and I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the final result. I'm sure they won't swear by it, but I actually did 2 cars worth, so 4 headlights with one kit. My wife and sister-in-law's cars look so much better now. 10-out-of-10 would recommend.

    In my case, after the lens sealing wipe stage, it's not drying out totally even after 24 hours - is that normal and supposed to be wiped off with a cloth or something later? Some areas (close to the perimeters and curves) seem to be absolutely wet even after 24 hours
