It Seem like 4 pack is not enough still yellow it need about 8 pack per headlight

❤❤❤ i have a 2004 Mercedes benz clk 500 front passenger side turn signal not blinking , how would repair with a bypass kit where to by the part ??

[@deep6thisdeep6this92]

impressive! only question remaining is how long will they stay looking like that?

[@HETPEZB]

I think that ceramic coating should last for at least couple years.

Nice, they guarantee that it "will last as long as you own your vehicle." ...a bold move. Hmm how long do you want to keep it? 😁😁

[@HETPEZB]

Not for too long, because I purchased an engine donor car for the donor car we took the engine from for that clk500 :)

[@whistlingdiesel]

That's the problem if you buy too nice donor cars, hopefully the new donor is beaten up properly 😁😁

Not convinced!! Because at the first stage the yellowing was still present, Its not until the second stage where the improvement starts to show! Personally I didn't like the grit sizes used? For me I would have skipped step one all together!! The clearcoat wipes? Do they contain any UV protection I wonder? The finished result is average, Considering the amount of the spent on restoration!! As the saying goes you get what you pay for!!? Anyone who can afford and run a Mercedes-Benz could easily pay to have them professionally restored or at the vary least buy a premium kit such as 3M headlight restoration kit + A certified clearcoat like Maguires clearcoat with added UV protection!! By the way the headlight deign is awful,

@keithroberts5611 I Totally agree. This method wont last long because he hasn't removed any of the oxidised polycarbonate lens. This is a headlight restoration that I did on a Mercedes CLK 280 last month. I firstly dry sanded them down, followed by a 3000 grit wet sand, then polished them, then coated them with Maguire's UV protection spray. The results speak for themselves.
