  • Armor All Ultra Shine Headlight Restoration Wipes are inexpensive and can be effective. But it sounds like they don't work well for everyone. I'd reckon it has something to do with the condition of the headlamps.
    I restored the headlights on my 1999 Civic (a.k.a. Slambo) years back with the 3M Restoration kit. A few years later, I touched them up and used the 3M preserving wipes. They were in good shape, but yellowed and hazy.
    I didn't read all of the unhappy reviews until after I used Armor All Ultra Shine Headlight Restoration Wipes. It seems like a lot of folk had poor results. Maybe I got lucky? I'm not a big fan of Armor All, overall, but I was looking for a budget-priced product and this looked to fit the bill.
    I did follow the instructions closely. I used two cleaning wipes on each headlamp, and a single preserving wipe on each headlamp.
    Each headlamps was washed and dried before using the Armor All Ultra Shine Headlight Restoration Kit.

    Good video. I tried the Sylvania restoration kit 1-2 years ago on my old Toyota van, and I was pleased with it. It's time to re-treat and I bought the Armor All restoration wipes. This video was helpful to get oriented on how to approach it. The Armor All product appears easier to apply relative to the Sylvania kit I used last time. I hope I get as good of results as the gentleman in this video was able to realize!

    I just purchased a '99 civic HX manual trans. Looking forward to you revisiting the Slambo. I heard that re-capping the ECU and a new air/fuel sensor can boost those mpgs. I have to replace that crazy expensive sensor due to a slight fender bender from the previous owner.

    • @mpgomatic

      Congrats on the HX acquisition!
      Slambo has left the building, sadly.

    Taping the body is a non-starter for me. The average paste gunk I can buff off of both headlights in less than 5 minutes with a paper towel and get a decent result is good enough for me. Even if I do it twice a year it's still like 20 minutes of effort combined lol. 😂 UV coating is a nice touch but I am way too lazy for this.

    • @mpgomatic
      @mpgomatic  2 года назад

      The coating made all the difference with this. The plastic looked dull before it was coated. One or both of the chemical concoctions will cause issues with the paint. Taping is a must for this product. No big deal for me, I tape out of habit. 🥴

    For Step 1 I did everything you did, but ended up with a white glaze on the headlights. They look worse now than before. I am concerned that if I put the Sealant Protection on (Step 2) it will make matters worse. Any advice?

    • @krayzietj

      Your suppose to do it on a nice, cool, and dry headlight. Never do it in direct sun either do it at night.
