Walmart Headlight Cleaner Suxxxx!!! Anyone else tried the Walmart headlight restoration? I just paid $45 for something I could have and probably should have done myself with a bottle of windex and some sand paper. 
They advertise FULL headlight restoration, a like NEW appearence that will save you hundreds rather than buying new ones. . . they just don't FULLy tell you everything. They don't tell you they only clean the outside. They also left whatever chemical they used running down my front bumper like I hit a freggin milk carton at 50 mph.
I asked to see the work before I paid and asked them why it didn't look like new, and they told me they couldn't clean the inside and if I wanted them to look any better I would have to buy new ones. Gee thanks
. I got played a FOOL at Walmart, now hopefully all who read this won't be like me.

It looks to me like they missed a step or two in the process. I'll try going to another Walmart to see if they can make it any better or give me a refund. Thanks for the link btw. I should have searched before paying. Looks like I may have to get my hands dirty after all.

Walmart is the problem. They hire very low quality workers because they work for cheap. Its a dual problem with walmart. there employees arent skilled enough, and they just dont care. It took me a long time to learn that anything you do to your car is best done by yourself. Bright side though, walmart is a billion dollar company, you can return a used toothbrush, chances of a refund are good!

I spent way less than that. All you need is sandpaper and polish. Shouldn't cost more than $20.
Yup. I read a story about a guy who bought a TV from some store, lost his receipt, so he returned it to Wal-Mart. They gave him store credit for the cost of that TV at Wal-Mart.

400 grit, 800 grit, and then 1500 grit wet sand paper..then some plastic polish with a PC and you can have both of them looking brand new in 20 minutes...or you can just pay a guy that I know who does it for $15 per vehicle..I have read all the write ups and the stupid amount of time people are investing in restoring their head lite lenses...
...it is not that big of a deal...wet sanding and a high speed buffer with plastic polish and your home free...if it really took all the time that people are writing about I would have just bought new ones @ $125 a side..
...the stuff that you buy at the auto parts store is junk and a waste of money.
