Headlight Lenses Repair Question
 
My headlight lenses on my wife’s Volvo are real dull & cloudy. I thought about replacing them but now I see that there are some restoration kits available. Has anybody tried anything like this? Does it really work? Here’s a couple I was looking at:

Man, that looks like a good way to scratch up a good paint job. I would replace them with some good lights or HD's.

I've used the Meqiuers PowerBall and polish and a few "hand polish" brands on other cars. My Volvos are still clear (They're GLASS). Powerball works the best on plastic, you really need to use the sandpaper first or they cloud up in a few months. Painters tape protects the paint.

All that said - I'd get new lenses, it's a safety issue. Check out IPD.

I use the Blue Coral restorer. It takes a lot of the haziness off but it will come back. You can make them look better but you'll have to redo it every now and then.
