3M Ultra Headlight Restoration Kit

In this episode, I use the 3M Ultra Headlight Restoration Kit on the Gambler, my 2003 Acura TL Type S. The headlights on the Gambler look pretty decent as far as any really bad clear coat goes, in fact I suspect someone had done a restoration in the past and just didn't add clear coat. If you want to see headlights that had a really bad clear coat, check out these videos from the Saturn Astra Headlights:

So with this being an easier set of lights, I was still very surprised with how well the headlights turned out. I talk a bit about the Turtle Wax kit that I was applying at the same time on the passenger side headlight, as well as the previous experience with Sylvania's kit and how the process is similar, but it all comes down to the clear coat. You can check out the Turtle Wax video here:

Really happy that the third time was the charm to put on the 3M without messing up the clear coat
Plenty of lessons learned, like I forgot to mention how the big drill attachment doesn't fit very well in small tight corners.
