Headlight restoration TW Vs Megs


HEADPHONES

Recommended Posts

Thanks to a kind donation of some Meguiars Headlight Restoration kit by a DW member and a delivery of the Turtle Wax version, we have a battle between the 2.
The headlights were restored last year and coated with Gtechniq C4 but as always, it starts fail after about 9 months.
Not too bad but annoying none the less.
Starting with both lamps looking like this.

The drivers side was polished with a MF by hand using the TW compound, cleaned with IPA, dried and then coated with their sealant wipes.

As the sealant is a wipe and I polished by hand....no masking.

Polishing took an age by hand but I had headphones and music last night for that:p

There were 4 grades of wet n dry sanding pads included in the TW kit but my headlights weren't that bad.

After just 3 months both of the products have failed.

The Meguiars kit looks marginally worse but I'd say both are not really worthwhile buying again.

I repolished the driver's side and left the Meguiars kit for comparison.
