I used the 3M kit years ago, and got great results - then about 3 months later, the lights were opaque again. People here enlightened me that you have to lacqueur them after treatment, or this will always happen

So I had to do it all again... this time used a very similar kit by E-Tech, but which also contains the UV protectant lacqueur.

OK so far
