User questions & answers

Question:	I have a 7424xp porter cable Dual action polisher. It has threaded hole for bolt. How can i hold disc pad holder for sand polishing to it
Answer:	this kit comes with masking tape the 39008 does not. the 39008 has more sanding discs
Question:	how many applications does this provide. Looking for something to restore and maintain my headlights
Answer:	I am not sure. I use them with a traditional manual light switch/lamp.
Question:	I can't find where it lists the grit of sandpaper; What grits are included
Answer:	Yes
Question:	What is the difference between this kit and the 39008 kit
Answer:	I don't think I'd want them too low. Ours are in our kitchen, in a ceiling flush fixture, in a bit darker color scheme. They're great for our situation. But they're dimmable, so I'd consider dimming them

User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone know how is this 3M Kit compare to the Meguiar's Professional Headlight and Spot Repair Kit
Answer:	125 - 150 psi works well. Porter Cable has a "pancake" compressor for around $150.00 that does the trick. This kit works GREAT! I have used it on everything from semi tractors to cars with the same results. Watch out for some Ford headlights they seem to have some type of film on them, which makes it difficult.
Question:	I am looking for an affordable portable air compressor that I can carry around in my car to hook up to the restoration kit.. I guess I am going to hav
Answer:	they are just very fine sand paper available in hardware stores
Question:	Just to confirm, the air tools are 3M 28353 and 3M 28354 Thank you
Answer:	Interesting that this information is not in the description. You get all the grades of sand paper, the rubbing compound and detailed instructions, I did mine by hand as is suggested. My headlights look great and it is a ton cheaper than paying an auto detailer to do it.
Question:	what size air compressor do i need to get
Answer:	ive never used a drill but I suppose you could instructions say hand use not sure?

User questions & answers

Question:	Im confused...its says 2 pack. i ordererd it and i got one kit. does the one kit have 2 inside??? it says 1 kit on package...did i get short shipped
Answer:	Certainly. I was even able to go over both of them after and had more than enough material available. I drive an E70 X5 with pretty sizeable headlights and the kit worked out great.
Question:	What tools do i need
Answer:	Have not used Meguiars system but have used other coating type headlight restorers and finish doesn't last, the 3m method requires more time and patience but works excellent and when done it last, with regular waxing stays looking new. We use it in shop environment and with 3m system have done more than 20 cars including japanese, BMW's and Mercedes all look great, been looking for this type of system for a few years. Have been using kit for 3 months now.
Question:	Is there a refill kit so I don’t have to buy a new kit with the drill attachment
Answer:	no way will a portable 12 volt compressor be large enough....you will need a minimum 3 hp 120/240 volt compressor........
Question:	You can use one pack for both headlights right
Answer:	The kit says it contains a random orbital buffer part # 28353 and sander part # 28354, but I cannot find a part number on either unit. It only says, made in Taiwan to 3M specification. And the kit works great.

User questions & answers

Question:	para cuantas aplicaciones sirve ete producto
Answer:	Si el daño de tus head lights son muy graves, te puede servir para una aplicación de un par de luces, pero si solo estan ligeramente afectadas te puede servir para hasta cuatro head lights.
Question:	Can you get decent results when sanding by hand or is an orbital sander pretty much required
Answer:	I would recommend against an orbital sander. The sand paper "clogs up" after only 30-45 seconds of sanding. It clears easily by hand, but it would likely clog up in 10-15 seconds on an orbital sander. It's really pretty easy. It just takes patience. At 30-40 minutes per lens, I produced exceptional results the 1st time I tried it. The only things I used that weren't in the kit were painter's tape and a spray bottle for water.
Question:	Will these sanding discs attach to a "hook and loop" orbital sander
Answer:	They have a micro hook and loop (velcro) back, but you should check the speed of your sander, higher speed will reduce your polishing time. The kit recommends 1500rpm drill. I used this kit with a pneumatic 6k rpm die grinder (at reduced air pressure of 50psi) and it worked fantastic.You just have to be careful as you would with wood, and keep moving. Stop frequently to make sure the sanding pad doesn't get to hot. Similar to wood, you can overheat the headlight plastic and burn it if you aren't careful, causing discoloring or surface melting.
Question:	What's the difference between the 3m 39084 headlight restoration kit and the 3m 39008 headlight lens restoration system? is 1 better than the other
Answer:	39084 is a hand polishing kit. It comes with Two P3000 Refining disks included. 39008 is for use with your power drill and only includes one P3000 refining disk. Both kits include six p500 and four P800 sanding disks and one foam buffing pad for use with the included rubbing compound. I found that only having one P3000 sanding disk for Two headlights was not enough. You need one for each headlight if your doing a full restore. My first headlight came out great but the p3000 disk was pretty much totally clogged up and useless on the second headlight. My second headlight does not look as good as the first for this reason.

A complete system of light abrasives, polishes and protectants removes scratches, dirt and oxidization that can appear on your lenses, lowering your vehicle’s value and reducing safe driving visibility.

About Trizact Abrasives

The abrasive in 3M Trizact abrasive discs for headlight restoration is so fine that you can sand across the plastic lenses without worrying about creating scratches or other damaging marks. 3M Trizact abrasives feature microreplication – small 3-dimensional structures are reproduced and then uniformly distributed over the surface of the disc. These patterned, precise mineral structures contain multiple layers of abrasive mineral. As the structures wear, fresh, sharp mineral is exposed. The result is that the abrasive cuts faster, stays sharper longer and allows for precise finish control – it removes the yellowing, dirt buildup and small scratches that can cause haze, without damaging the lens itself.

Why Do You Need Headlight Restoration?

Today's vehicles have a greater number of plastic components, from plastic headlight lenses to motorcycle windshields, plastic tail lights, trailer lights and more. Plastic components are great for durability and reducing overall weight, but they can yellow and haze with weather, sun and sand, limiting visibility and diminishing the appearance and value of the vehicle. While the impact on a vehicle's value varies, the dangers in terms of limited visibility are clear: It is a factor in 2.8 million accidents, 23,000 fatal crashes and 2,300 pedestrian deaths each year, according to the Motor Vehicle Lighting Council. Dim headlight bulbs and hazy plastic headlight lenses or surfaces may lead to this reduced visibility, putting you, your passengers and other cars at risk. The AAIA Car Care Council found that 26 percent of the cars it inspected had issues with their lighting system. Millions of cars on the road today have plastic headlight lenses. The problem increases with the age of the lens, and with the average age of cars on the road about 10 years old, the problem is growing. That is why it is important to correct hazy, dull headlights.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many headlights will this do
Answer:	I needed one for each headlight. Mine were in pretty bad shape though. If your headlights aren’t too bad you might be able to get away with one
Question:	Can I use regular house drill
Answer:	That’s what I have used. It’s even nicer if it is a variable speed drill- but not necessary.
Question:	What grit sand paper does it include
Answer:	500; 800; 3000. Kit has everything except the electric drill. Great instructions. Was easier than expected.
Question:	Does this kit include a clear coat to apply after the final polishing to protect against future oxidation

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use 1 wipe for 2 headlights
Answer:	You can’t, you need a drill.
Question:	how often do you need to reapply
Answer:	So far I have restored six headlights, and only completely used up two peices of sand paper - one at 500 and one at 800. I also constantly clean out the sandpaper while using it (I use a spray bottle to clean it out, and rewet the headlight surface), so it will last me much longer.
Question:	how many wipes does this come with
Answer:	It's been 6 months since i did it, and i don't remember how many of each grit is in the box, but i do remember there are several steps - each has a different grit. step 1 P500 grit (there are 3 in the kit, i think)step 2 P800 grit (again, there are 3? of these) step 3 P3000 (foam disk, green, if i remember correctly) - wet step 4 an orange pad that you use with polish (supplied)

Question:	My car is 15 years old. I have kept the lenses clear with plastic cleaner polish. Can i apply this on them without any sanding
Answer:	Hello George. The lens does not have to be sanded, however for best adhesion of the coating to the lens, it should be sanded with the P3000 grit sanding disc that comes with the kit.
Question:	how much time (in months/years) it lasts
Answer:	It all depends on how much sunlight hits your headlights, I did mine several months ago, the side where the afternoon sun hits the light looks dull already where the other side still looks good.
