This 3M headlight restoration kit is a strong low cost way to clear oxidized lenses and has a solid track record for restoring cloudy headlights. The kit is described as working well, easier than hand polishing, and effective enough to try on older vehicles or repeat on multiple cars. The main catch is durability, since the restored lens needs a separate coating, sealant, or UV protector to keep haze from returning. A few also point to the lack of a finishing wipe in this version, so it works best if you already have protection on hand.
The kit can deliver clear, great-looking headlights when the sanding and polishing steps are done carefully.
The deal price makes the kit attractive for trying headlight restoration on an older vehicle without committing to expensive OEM parts.
The power-tool approach can be easier and more effective than hand-polishing for restoring headlight clarity.
The kit can work well for light to medium oxidation levels when enough elbow grease is applied.
The restoration can fade back to foggy again within weeks to a year if UV protection or sealant is not applied afterward.
The kit may not include a finishing sealant wipe or UV protectorant, so additional protection purchases may be required.
The process can be risky or messy because sanding polycarbonate can create inhalation concerns, so a dust mask is recommended.
Orders can be cancelled without an email confirmation, requiring manual checking of order status.

I think unless the product explicitly says it prevents re-fogging of the headlights after use, you still need to add an additional UV protectorant or sealer, which this product doesn't appear to come with.
You need to spray them with a 2k clear afterward or its all moot
Gonna give my 2014 Toyota Prius some low budget luv.
Thanks OP.
And wear dust mask at the least. You just sanding down polycarbonate with very high grit sand paper and compound, which probably isn't great to inhale.
