Sam's Club Headlight Restoration
Hi all. I've been looking at a more permanent solution to address my cloudy, yellow headlights. I've been restoring them every so often, yet they return to their previous state eventually. I'm floating around the idea of getting them restored at Sam's Club for $40, then applying something similar to this after: https://www.autogeek.net/optimum-opt...t-coating.html
Does anyone have any experience with Sam's Club's headlight restoration service? Also, is the headlight coating as effective as the company claims it to be?
Thanks

I'm not sure, but I'd assume so. I don't think you can buy anything there without a membership (never tried though).

Got my headlights restored and they look really good. It's a better restoration job than I've ever done.
Now I just have to wait a week to wash it while the clear coat dries. We'll see how it holds up!

That's the only before pic I could find. They weren't terribly bad, but the yellow hue bugged me most.
I took this pic a few weeks ago - they're still holding up pretty well. I scuffed the clear coat a bit on my driver's side, so I may take it in again at some point to get it redone.

They may use some chemicals from it, but they break out the speed polisher and do a much more thorough job. They also use an actual clear coat that's not provided in those kits. You can follow this process yourself, or you can spend $20 bucks more to have them do it (and get free touch-ups for 5 years).
I've used different kits from O'Reilly and such - none of them hold up in the long term. It's been 8 months and the headlights still look good.
