Novus Headlight Restoration Kit — 3-Step 3×2 oz Polishes with 1,000-Grit Sand Disk & Drill Backing Pad

Novus Clear in Five Headlight Restoration Kit is a complete 3-step polish system with sanding and buffing tools designed to restore clarity and protect plastic headlights quickly.

Faded, yellowed, or hazy headlight lenses reduce light output and make a vehicle look older; this Novus kit combines cleaning, progressive polishing formulas, and hardware to remove oxidation and light surface abrasions, then leave a protective finish. The set includes three 2 oz specialty polishes (#1 clean & shine, #2 fine scratch remover, and #3 heavy scratch remover), a 3" foam buffing pad, a 3" backing pad drill attachment, a 1,000-grit sanding disk, and three disposable Polish Mate towels—everything needed for a DIY restoration in minutes.

How does the three-step Novus polishing system work?

The kit uses a progressive approach: start with cleaning, move to finer abrasion to remove scratches, then finish with a heavy-polish to restore clarity and shine. Each bottle is formulated for a specific stage so you get controlled material removal without over-sanding. Work methodically across each lens to keep results even.

• Step 1: #1 Plastic Clean & Shine removes surface dirt and preps the lens for polishing.
• Step 2: #2 Fine Scratch Remover reduces light scratches and surface haze.
• Step 3: #3 Heavy Scratch Remover refines deeper marks and restores optical clarity.
• Tools: 1,000-grit disk, foam pad, and drill backing pad speed up polishing and leveling.

How long does a headlight take to restore with this kit?

Typical single-lens restorations take roughly 15–30 minutes depending on damage severity and whether sanding is required. Light oxidation or mild clouding can often be fixed with polishing alone, while deeper yellowing benefits from the included 1,000-grit sanding disk before polishing. Allow a few extra minutes for masking surrounding paintwork and final wipe-downs.

• Minor haze: about 10–15 minutes per lens using the polishes and pads.
• Moderate oxidation: 20–30 minutes including sanding and multi-stage polish.
• Prep and finish: include time for masking, cleaning, and inspection between steps.

What tools and supplies come with the kit, and what else might I need?

The kit supplies the core chemistry and basic hardware to polish headlights by hand or with a power drill. Novus includes a foam buffing pad, backing pad drill attachment, a 1,000-grit sanding disk, and three Polish Mate disposable towels to simplify cleanup. You may want additional masking tape, water for wet sanding, and a microfiber cloth for best results.

• Included: three 2 oz polishes (#1, #2, #3), 3" foam pad, 3" backing pad, 1,000-grit sanding disk, three disposable towels.
• Optional: masking tape, spray bottle with water, extra microfiber towels, protective gloves.
• Power option: cordless drill or variable-speed polisher for quicker results using backing pad attachment.

How long do results last and does the kit provide protection?

Novus polishes restore optical clarity and leave a protective surface layer that slows re-oxidation. Longevity depends on exposure to UV, road debris, and local climate; routine maintenance or a protective sealant can extend the refreshed look. The kit is engineered for both correction and short-term protection to maximize visibility and appearance.

• Restoration improves light transmission and appearance immediately.
• Protection: polish finishes help resist immediate re-yellowing and grime.
• Maintenance: periodic touch-ups or a dedicated UV sealant lengthens lifespan.
