try the 3M kit. it should work better because it does a better job of sanding away the contamination.

What number pads did you use on your headlights? Did you use all 4, only a few

I used the 3M kit on my mom's ES300 which are notorious for the yellow headlights, and they have been crystal clear for months now. At night the HID's look sick now.

Don't forget to put wax or headlight protectant after restoration. I don't know how long wax will protect against UV rays.

You can find this in walmart or local auto stores.

def better than buying new headlights. These kits work great and using wax or a clear film helps to keep it clear

I bought Rain X's version of the Headlight Restorer... I think it ran me <30$ @ Advance Auto, definitely worth the money.

Here's a picture I took with my i5. Left side "restored", Right stock.
