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.

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.

This is still a good kit but as mentioned previously by other posters still need to buy a headlight sealant like this

Or the spray on version

For newer cars or just more recently yellowing lights even the kits without the sanding work too, I have tried a few different ones and all work to some degree. The ones that just come with wipes only is what I am referring to. They can be a lot more forgiving if you feel uncomfortable taking a power tool to your headlights.

Used the one above but older version like 3 years ago and worked fine on headlights that had light to medium level of oxidization, but it did take some elbow grease.
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.
