well I never track how long plast X last; probably 4 to 6 months. Not bad for about $5.00.

I've used the same kit on my bros grand Cherokee and it has held up for months now without "going back".

Unlike plastic X, this kit comes with a sealer that lasts for months giving it a "clear coat" on top. Made the Jeep look so much better, with much increased light output.

I highly recommend the product, just be careful when your working with the sealer, you have to be smooth and gentle.

That's why I posted up the B&A photos for you guys to see. To show something that may be useful to other Lexus owners, I mean that's what this forum is all about......Sharing info on our cars. This product has an extra step that might or might not make it better than the temporary fix everybody has been dealing with.
Thanks Grand LS, nice to know somebody else has used it with good results so far.

Default Used Crystal View today on my 2000 LS400

After putting it off for a long time, I refinished the headlight lenses on my 2000 LS400 today with a Crystal View kit. They were looking really bad but they now look like new. It is kind of weird that the sanding and polishing made it look like I had ruined the lenses before I applied the clear sealer. As the instructions say, you've got to work fast when applying the sealer - it starts setting up quickly.

I'd highly recommend this stuff.

Where's the pic's??
Now we can do side by side field test on the products.......update every month.

I've got nothing better to do, than to sit around and watch my lenses turn yellow.

If I had taken "before and after" photos, they wouldn't have shown anything different than what your photos showed. The Crystal View kit simply works as advertised.

I hope you have a great time watching your lenses!
