3M Headlight Restoration Kit 39008 Review 

Well done, Sir You're a man that pays attention to detail. I'll be following your example. Thank you!

Just ordered off of Amazon after watching this!! Thanks.

Wow, I ordered the same exact product from 3M, for my vehicle as well. I have a 2012 lexus gx 460 that my son uses while in college. It's a really beautiful pearl White metallic, but the headlights have a cloudy dingy appearance that really let's it down. I can't wait to try this. Man, those headlights look amazing. Thanks for placing your video on RU-vid.

I was surprised you were able to polish the headlights with the Milwaukee. I guess a drill works. (I used Makita polisher) If you want to see someone who uses this 3M kit and has over 100 videos demonstrating his method check out: The Headlight Restoration Pro on RU-vid. I just completed this process on a 08 Honda. They came out clear. Add 3D headlight restoration gel or Chemical guys headlight restoration gel to the rubbing compound. Theres additives which help the headlight renourish. Instead of two coats, use only one generous coat of Maguire's headlight spray. Wear a 3M vapor mask when spraying.

The best demonstration on utube on how this kit should be used!!! The only thing I would change is not masking twice!! Leave the tape in place to the end!! I don't clean the headlights first as the surface is going tobe removed anyway!! Anyways you did a brilliant restoration welldone, I just wish more people would follow your example and do it properly, The Trizact pad makes all the difference along with Meguiars which will do at least another two sets of headlights!!!😃🤔😎👍🇬🇧

Drink a shot every time he's "gonna go ahead and"! I kid. I appreciate the video! Bought the same kit and wanted to watch a few demonstrations before I proceeded.

Very helpful. I seem to have lost my instructions. Your video will guide me through the process. Well done.

Nicely done. R day to tackle the wife’s headlights with existing kit used about five years ago for a vw headlight. Very helpful as I’d lost directions.

Awesome video good job

Just an FYI the 3m website says those Trizac 3000 pads re mant to remove 1500-2000 grit scratches..so youll want to add that step between the 800 and the 3000 for actually removing andleveling the 800 for an everln crisper headlight restoration

Latest kit (Oct 2023) got rid of the compound and pad and added a clearcoat step at the end.

My drill only runs at 600 rpm. Do you think that makes a difference with this 3M kit?

Do you rub the compound all the way in or do you wash it off?

Should we use clear coat after this process?

Looks just like the same methods and product that the headlight restoration pro channel does

How long do the last?

I think that clear coat was not right for your 3M kit. The clear coat says the surface should be cloudy to start, and that's because the clear coat needs some roughness to adhere. So sanding it to 3000 first is an error, and you should sand it dry to 800, and then put the clear coat on it after that. Then sand the clear coat wet with 3000 to get the final shine. 3M has a rub-on clear coat, which is different to the one you used, and that one is probably the right one to apply after wet sanding with 3000. I'd be very curious to see whether this restoration is still good after 1 year.
