The kit napa has it for like 27 bucks with tax. The price went up on them because I bought one about 2 years ago for 19 bucks it took about 45 mins

all you need is 1500-2000 grit sand paper and a good rubbing compound and you can have the same outcome. plus you can prolly do 50 more cars while youre at itlol. nice work!

All of your lights will turn just as bad in a month! Sorry, but it's the truth! Not that they're that clear to begin with but still.....

Put a coat of Helmsman spar urethane uv sealer mixed with mineral spirits 1:1 and they will stay clear a lot longer. I did the headlights on my Focus in November and they still look like the day I restored them. Do they look brand new? No, but from 10 feet it's hard to tell the difference.
