Turtle Wax Headlamp restorer


Hey all, So for those of us who own our 17-20 year old DSM’s and cannot afford to spend the $200+ for new headlamp units, I decided to try Turtle Wax’s Headlamp restoration kit. This kit comes with the following:

1 Bottle Restorative rubbing compound
1 Bottle of lubrication spray (similar to soapy water)
3 sanding disks (ranging in grit from heavy to very, very fine)
1 plastic disposable glove
1 packet of headlamp seal (it’s kind of like a resin, but on a wiping pad)

MSRP : about 10-12 $ at your local parts store

The instructions are on the side of the box, and are VERY easy to read! I’m pretty sure you can give this kit to your 5 year old, and with reasonable common sense even they could figure out how to use it! I’ve compiled some photo’s to go with this review and I must say, the pics speak for themselves! I would recommend anyone who is debating either wanting to clear up their headlamps or debating buying new ones!

Pics go from top to bottom, first pic is of the product. then subsequent pics show the progress during the process!
