Only real way that lasts, is to start with 750 grit and work up to at least 1000 grits, 1500 is better. Then polish polishing compound then a good plastic polish. Will take a couple hours.
Anything else is just lipstick on a pig.
This kit is basically three steps:
1) Oxidation removal wipes (4 per headlight). Bit of elbow grease required for this soft scrubbing step. The wipes come away yellowed.
2) Sanding with 2000 grit, followed by 3000 grit. They give a small knob-shaped sanding device that you velcro the sanding discs to. Works well, very comfortable to use. You can see the oxidized plastic coming off during the sanding, in the formy of milky liquid.
3) Last step is the ceramic sealer, which is wiped on carefully in passes with 50% overlap. Supposedly, this is the magic that makes the treatment last. Lots of testimonials that it lasts for a good long while, years in many cases.
Don't want to speak for Bamafan, but perhaps we can check back in six months or a year and update with new pics to see if it is holding up.
Two in a day! Any signs of tennis elbow?
The sealer is UV resistant which allegedly makes the polish job last longer.
The sanding part was easy, it was the masking part that was time consuming.

That works except any sealer/converter or anything except polish just doesn’t last. And makes any follow ups harder next time.This kit is basically three steps:

I’ve had some over 5-6 years that still looked great.
Biggest thing along with sun light that damages them is bug and sand hits. Micro chips, but it adds up.
Baby poop got to be that teething poop!
