Headlight oxidation
I did some searching, but I might have used wrong keywords for my issue or something, but I didn't really find anything.
My headlights are rather cloudy and I was wondering if anyone has fixed a similar issue without replacing the headlights. I saw some commercial for Fast Brite or something that claims to fix this exact issue but I can never trust anything off TV (anyone used this before?).
Thanks

i just used mothers headlight kit and it worked great. pretty cheap, and you can use it more than once. it comes with a polishing ball you put in a drill, the chemical, and a microfiber

3M is a resurfacer
It works by cutting into the surface. While this removes oxidation it also dulls and damges the UV layer.
That may not be so bad if you did not have to repeat the process each time oxidation builds back up but over time abrasive cleaning will cause more damage to the lens than the oxidation itself.
In reality oxidation on acrylic headlights does not cause any damage, it's a topical build up of matter on an acrylic surface.
For surface damage you will need to get an abrasive headlight resurfacer
For oxidation you need to get a non abrasive acrylic lens deoxidizer
