I think you can also use toothpaste for the same effect for less money,

Yes it works. It's not hard. You can use sandpaper and water and the use a polish like rubbing compound and it's the same. the toothpaste trick works also. It was shown on a episode of "TRUCKS". Just use plain old white toothpaste and a rag and then polish it!

 

Meguiars is a popular resurfacing kit but resurfacing may be more than what your headlights need.
If your headlights are damaged, scratched or scraped a resurfacer would be the way to go, however thats rare.
Oxidation is the most common cause of cloudy and yellowed oxidation. In those cases an acrylic lens deoxidizer will clear your lens up fast and because it's target specific liquid, there is no risk of causing further damage to the surface or UV protective layer.

I tried those kits and it didnt work for me. Granted I probably didnt do it right and lost interest. It was better for me just to buy a new set on ebay and be done with it.

 

It does take a measure of skill to use any multiple step kit. That's one reason why results can vary. The worst kits are the hand sanding kits, they almost always give bad results.

 

In extreme cases, sanding is the only way to get the job done -- where the factory coating is blistering or peeling, the only way to adequately repair the lens is to remove the coating with sandpaper.

If a sanding kit gives bad results, it's usually a matter of technique on the part of the operator, and can always be fixed.

Always follow restoration with either routine polishing, a sealer, or a lens protection kit.

 

Well I know my failure was due to operator error and lack of patience....LOL
