Well worth doing
Purchased as headlight casings had become cloudy/oxidised. This kit did the job of renewing both headlights. It actually transformed the look of the car and the lights are much brighter. It did take a lot of elbow grease and a couple of hours to complete but worth it. Easy enough to do yourself if you don't mind getting your hands dirty.

Great kit. Excellent value. Does the job.
I’m very pleased with how this kit worked. Fairly easy to do. Using my drill I had to hold it quite firmly, to avoid drill skipping about. I’d recommend having a little spray bottle of water handy to keep the headlamp wet while sanding.I just hope the good fresh look lasts. It might be worth paying a pro to seal the lamps properly now, so I don’t need to do the job again next year.

A great kit for those who don't want to buy everything separately
Although I've always done my own headlights with sandpaper and cutting compound then polish, it's really convenient having it all in one kit, along with the attachments for a drill. It takes a lot of the manual work out of it all. The kit is very effective and great value for money. It leaves your faded/yellow lights nice and clear, with some protection at the end too. The drill attachment felt sturdy and long lasting.

Worked really well and better than expected.
Really amazed at the transformation of both my headlamps which were very badly clouded.Quite simple process to follow and there is ample product in the kit to ensure the job is completed.

Holts Headlight Restoration Kit - Good Results, but Not Long-Lasting
I recently tried the Holts Headlight Restoration Kit, and while it delivered decent results, I have some mixed feelings about its longevity.Pros:Effective Cleaning: The kit worked well to clear up my foggy headlights. After using it, they looked noticeably brighter and clearer, which improved my night driving visibility.Easy to Use: The instructions were straightforward, and the included materials made the process pretty simple, even for a DIY novice like me.Cons:Durability Issues: Unfortunately, the restored clarity didn’t last as long as I hoped. After just a few months, I noticed some fogging starting to return, which is disappointing.Limited Protection: While it does a great job initially, I wish the kit offered better long-term protection against UV damage and environmental factors.Overall, the Holts Headlight Restoration Kit provides good results for a temporary fix. If you're looking for a quick solution, it’s worth considering, but be prepared to repeat the process sooner than you might like.

Does Actually Work
Thought it’d be a gimmicky waste of time. Very wrong. Actually works well if you follow instructions and make sure to wet sand! Not perfect but probably could be with proper time spent on it

My headlamps were blind – now they see!
To begin with, having never tried this before, I was worried I might be making my headlamp lens covers *worse*. The drill attachment was skipping all over the place however firmly I held the drill and it was not as easy as the videos in preparation seemed!However, you are aiming for a uniform “cloudiness” gradually reducing each step as the abrasive used gets finer. It was not until the final sanding disk grade (3000) that I began to think it was looking a bit more promising. The polish applied with the rotary sponge further improves things and then the final sealant coat when polished with the soft micro-fibre cloth provided brings a nice shine to the finish.The abrasive disks could be better marked. They are stamped out of larger sheets so the grade marking is not always visible. Unlikely that none of the disks have a visible grade marking so it is possible to pair up the disks in their respective grades – each grade looks slightly different and there are two of each.As mentioned, the drill disk pad holder did not work well for me. My headlamp lens covers are highly convex and the pad kept skipping across the surface however firmly or gently I held the drill. I was worried about badly marking the surface so I cupped the abrasive disks in the palm of my hand and keeping everything very wet just gently rubbed the pad over the area in a circular motion. This took a bit longer probably but it seemed a less risky approach and worked out quite well. Ideally there would be an interface pad provided in the kit so that the abrasive disks can be mounted on a softer backing when using a drill for convex surfaces. If I was doing this again I’d probably get a thick sponge 75mm interface pad to place between the disk pad holder and the abrasive disk.I think it is very important to use something like a plant spray bottle to keep the sanding area thoroughly wet during sanding.I probably spent about 40 minutes on each headlamp. I’m pleased with the results. With practise I think a better finish is probably possible but I think the final finish was plenty good enough. There seemed to be very adequate quantities of sealant and polish provided - plenty of product left after use.For £13.99 avoiding an MoT failure was well worth it to me.

It works!
Easy to use and actually worked for my headlights. Depending on how thorough you want to be you can achieve better results.
