Well...the product im reviewing is the 3M headlight restoration kit that promises to remove oxidation and return your headlight to its original shine. The thing about it is that it uses a home power screwdriver (1000rpms-1400) and the products provided. Its quite simple looking in the video:

The only gripe i had was that using the power screwdriver i had left me kinda irked cause it kept gripping to the headlight. The good part was that i was persistent, so each part can be used by hand if anything does go wrong. For 20 bucks, id say yeah, if you can use a power screw properly unlike me, shell out. its at all autozone's. But overall, you can just buy the trizac foampad 3000 grit, 800 grit, and 500 grit sand paper with a whole bottle of meguire's plast-x for a little bit under or the same.
Price: $20-24
Place: Autozone
IMO: i give this product a 86/100
pros: this s*** does work...and will do what it says (just not to perfection)
everything needed is in there with damn near idiot proof instructions
it doesnt matter if anything breaks down, you can do it all by hand
only 20 bucks plus tax
cons: you can find the material cheaper and do it by hand
if the screwdriver isnt good enough, then youve wasted a few bucks...
you will need more polish than given to get that 'OCD' clean look
