We were kindly sent two sets of the wipes to put through their paces and have done so on headlights of varying oxidation. We looked at ease of use, effectiveness, value and their place on the market. You might expect the ‘1-Step’ kit would only involve one step and be the height of simplicity. But the reality is that it’s actually more complicated than all of the other kits, involving hand sanding and a drill-based polisher. Hazy yellow headlights can be a safety risk and potentially lead to MOT failure. Current solutions to headlight cleaning are often complicated and require tools, time and effort. But with Armor All® Headlight Restorer Wipes Kit, all you need is 2 wipes and 10 minutes to restore your headlights like new! Features & Benefits: note: though your headlight may appear clear additional deep cleaning could be necessary to ensure all oxidation is removed.

It’s not nonsense either, as the whitening element can remove yellowing in the plastic just as it does on your teeth. Meanwhile the fine particles in the paste act as a gentle abrasive to polish the dull surface.

Armor All Headlight Restorer Wipes Kit

Firstly, we would say that you should avoid using the machine-applied kits unless you are confident using them and prepared to be patient. The potential for expensive slips onto the paint or causing damage to the lights makes it a little scary, especially on complex light shapes. Simple two-step process: Step 1 wipe cleans and removes the oxidation x 2pcs, Step 2 sealant wipe protects the headlight x 1pc These are then followed with a final polish using a sponge attachment and special polishing liquid. Once you are happy with the results, you spray on an aerosol sealant to protect the surface. NOTE: Drying time after step 3 is dependent upon weather conditions. Drying may take longer in lower temperatures or higher humidity. Even at this price is seemed reasonable value though, as it includes four different grades of sandpaper, a cutting paste and finally a UV sealant. There’s even a glove so you don’t get any of the chemicals on your skin and little roll of masking tape to help protect the paint work around the lens – although this is more useful when using power tools, unless you’re particularly energetic and careless.

You expect to find wipes like these in a cleaning cupboard or nappy changing kit, so we weren’t expecting them to do a tough job like headlamp restoration which had taken us hours with polishers. But we were astounded at how effective they were. The Armor All wipes were a real surprise and worked so well, we felt a bit daft for spending so much time struggling with the less-effective headlamp restorers. The price means you can afford to buy two and make sure you don’t have to skimp or rush too. div>
