One thing Ive found out is that stuff only lasts for maybe 8 months at the most. Be sure to take care of it and polish the lights regularly if they were oxidized at one time before. :)

i bought this stuff at wallmat. it says they guarantee for it to work. it had a lot of thought put into it. the kit came with 2 kinds of sand paper. and 2 different liquids you apply at different times. i feel like its going to last a while.

20 bucks is a rip off. go get some wetsand paper. and mothers rubbing compound, sand and rub out, for about 6 bucks.

a while = 8 months at most usually.

Ive used the stuff before like i said keep a watch on the lights and sand and repolish as neccesary. Once the lights have been oxidized before it just makes them that much easier to be oxidized again.
