That's it. 10 minutes per headlight if they're pretty bad and you haven't done this before. The effect is both chemical and mechanical, and it should last six months to a year. It works great, and you can't beat the price -- one small jar of polish should do at least four jobs, even if the headlight lenses are quite bad.
This stuff has a strong odor, so be sure of ventilation. It works best at temperatures above 40 F. I don't know how bad it is for your skin, but it can't be good, so I wore cheap nitrile gloves. Rags are better than paper towels, but it works fine with 'shop towel' paper towels. Use Windex (or similar) or water to clean the headlights. Very easy. You don't have to scrub like a maniac.
I mean, this is not rocket science. The container is about 3-3 1/2" in diameter and the lid is only slightly larger. Something went radically wrong when fabricating the lid, at least for this container. I have no idea if others that have purchased from the same lot are having the same issue(s). I mean, no matter what approach I take, trying to line up the one single thread to start screwing it on and, nope, it ain't going. I have tried and tried to replace the lid, ain't happening. Never, ever seen anything like this.
As stated, Mothers is a great product and I have used a tiny bit of it to make sure this batch is the same quality and so far, it tests great. So, with all this being said, I won't be sending this back because of some odd glitch with a top that won't go back on. The product is good. It's the container that's screwed up. Soooo, I'll just find another container and I'll be happy. I think a 10 oz chocolate frosting container that I'm just about done with will work just great. We'll see.
Dec 30 2023 Update: The defective lid was a temporary problem due to a subcontractor error. Mother's replaced the tub with one that has a properly functioning lid. The correct product for the headlight lens is Mother's Nu Lens which cleaned up both the center light and the badly corroded plastic over the colored side reflectors.

Grana della pasta molto fine e morbidezza della crema lo rendono un prodotto eccellente e per ogni uso. Il prezzo puo' sembrare elvato ma se non dovete lucidare barre di mq e solo piccoli oggetti vi durera' un vita prima di doverla ricomprare, forse avanzera anche per le future generazonie :)
Il barattolo chiude bene e anche se ci sono recensioni negative sul prodotto io devo dire che fortunatamente non ho avuto nessun problema. Altro elemento moto positivo, l'odore, non e' molto forte e qusi non si sente. La rimozione richiede tanto oli di gomito ma se fosse stato facile orologiai e gioielliere sarebber andati a vendere pop corn. Quindi consigli 'lacquisto se siete n po fissati come me sulla perfezione e cura maniacale dei prodotti in acciaio lucido :)
