You can easily solve this safety problem for your customers, save them hundreds of dollars on headlight replacements, and bring in some extra service dollars to your shop at the same time.

A new Headlight Lens Restoration Kit from Permatex lets techs restore a cloudy, yellowed or scratched plastic headlight lens to “like new” clarity in less than 45 minutes without special tools or training.
