    Headlight restoration + SEALANT kit (Glassylite)

    I've sold out of all glassylite.

    I found the Glassylite Headlight restoration kit product on sale at the chemicalguys in the US for $10 a kit, and this is not just the sealant, but is an entire kit with sandpaper, polish etc as well! If your headlights are not really bad, you will not need to use the sandpaper, but will still find good use with the three-step polishing and sealing process. The sealant is the key bit that is essential for long term good results.

    (I wrote a post here about why its important to seal headlights, that hopefully gives you the background info to explain why I am bothering with this.)

    I thought this was an opportunity at this price - I was planning on using these on friends cars, and selling any leftovers on ebay to lower my purchase cost, so I went ahead and ordered quite a few, which arrived today! I then thought instead of ebay there might be some interest on this forum? If there is no interest here I'll just chuck the leftovers on ebay, as they currently sell for $40 posted.

    I'm not really keen on making a bunch of money, but would like to be compensated for the time and cost of posting things. I got royally ripped off by MyUS with the postage ($110!), so the total shipped cost for me per unit is $19, which is higher than I had hoped . I'm asking for a round $20 picked up or $28 posted anywhere in AU in a 500g satchel.

    Price: $20 picked up from Rosanna or Melb. CBD, or posted anywhere in AU for $28. On ebay it's $40. Amazon reviews are 4.5 stars.

    Kit includes a glove, the polishes and sealant, two grades of wet sandpaper (for really cloudy lenses), and lint-free disposable cloths.

    Hi,

    When are you putting these on ebay to sell?

    I want to buy one but I'd prefer to purchase from ebay and use paypal rather than bank transfer. Nothing personal intended, just a preference when buying off the internet.

    Thanks
    Tom

    Probably putting these on ebay in 18 days or so, as I have a major (final project!) uni assignment due before then.

    Price on ebay will be higher though - not sure what the advantage of buying through ebay is? I can do paypal here for this price, and you still get paypal seller protection then, as long as you are happy to pay the fees involved. My price on ebay won't be much below the others, i'm only offering this price on this forum as a favour to people here, so you might as well buy from one of the others on ebay if you want it on ebay before the end of this month.

    I totally appreciate where you are coming from. If it helps at all, I have experience buying/selling things on mactalk and OCAU.

    Couple sold, but now that I've finished my uni project I'm going to chuck the rest on ebay soon. If you want them at this price PM me now!

    EDIT: On ebay now.

    Hi - ill take a kit to try. My friend has a Mk5 GTI and we are always polishing his lights. They look good once done (using Meguiars Plastix) but after a few weeks you can see them yellowing again. Will be good to restore again and try out the sealant.

    So ill get 1x kit for now, and if it works well ill grab another off you as a spare. I'll send you a PM.
