Renewing Headlights for CMax 2013

 When we got our 2013 CMax, the headlights were a bit foggy from nine years of service. Here is what they looked like when we got the CMax back in May 2022.

About a month ago, I used some toothpaste to try to clear up the foggy lenses. So, here is what they looked like today before I did the final renew.

I found a headlight restorer kit in an Internet search. Cerakote Ceramic Headlight Restoration Kit came with good reviews for a kit which required no extra equipment. I picked it up for about $17 at Walmart.

Here is what they looked like after the restoration.

While the toothpaste improved the looks, the Creakote kit did a better job of restoration. It took about 20-30 miutes to complete the three steps. 

Step 1: The Oxidation Remover lets you wipe away the hazy surface oxidation.  

Step 2: The ergonomic surface prep pad removes the deep oxidation and preps the headlight for the CERAMIC clear coating. 

Step 3: Cerakote's pre-moistened Ceramic Headlight Restoration Wipes restored the headlights to a like-new condition.

 I am really happy with the results.
