Chemical Guys Headlight Restorer and Protectant (16 oz)

Mar 25, 2020

Great product - does exactly what it should do. Highly recommended.

Really does help reduce yellowing on faded headlights. My car has original headlights fitted - now over 15 years old and with 165k+ mileage of road debris thrown at them. I've tried other polishing kits in the past like 3M and got 'ok' results. A lot of effort for an average result - though that might be down to my application technique more than anything. This headlight restorer can be used by hand or with a polisher. I've not done the latter yet, but already by using a bit of elbow grease, the results were much superior to the polishing kits I've tried. More importantly, the Chemical Guys offering contains UV filters, for which sunlight is the main cause of the yellowing on headlights. Forget to apply a coating after your hard work (usually) and they will yellow again quickly. Hopefully these included filters will help to prevent that in the future.

Still a very powerful graphics card - certainly worth considering

I've previously used a few nVidia cards in SLi configuration - originally two 7900GTX cards and more recently two GTX460 cards. I did have a few issues in games with those - where disabling SLi actually gained system performance than having two cards running in unison. However, whilst on the hunt for a replacement card towards the end of 2014, a single GTX690 card came up at a price that I couldn't refuse. Despite the 690 having two 680 GPUs onboard - in a 'pseudo permanent' SLi - I had heard nothing but great reviews about its performance in games. When installed, any initial concerns I had quickly vanished. It ploughed through most games on the very high to highest settings - and that was on my 1st-gen i7 PC with a motherboard from 2010. The curious side of me stepped forward. If a single GTX690 worked so well - what about two 690 cards running together? Making four GPUs in total - surely this was a recipe for chaos and confusion. Drivers struggling to cope and games crashing all over the shop as the quad 680s had issues with timings and scaling. From what I read online - when they worked, they worked. Brilliantly. Some tests put them on par with three GTX Titans in tri-SLi and others actually put them a few frames per second ahead. I couldn't resist. My PSU was beefed up to a more robust Corsair RM850 and I tried to acquire another GTX690 to sit alongside my existing unit. On the face of it, it appears that other eBayers had the same point of view. I missed out on at least four cards for sale by the narrowest of margins. I NEEDED to get one (lol) and continued my hunt, before successfully obtaining a card for around the £260 mark. Which is a considerable reduction from their 2013 launch price of £1,000+ I never make such a significant change to my hardware without reformatting my PC. Windows 7 x64 went back on, along with the latest drivers. The nVidia Control Panel happily reported that the system was now in quad-SLi mode - so now was the time to test it. So far, I have ran two versions of Call of Duty, Battlefield 4, Warframe, Sniper Elite III, a couple of Batman titles and most recently Project Cars. All games set themselves to Ultra through the GeForce Experience index and the performance has been flawless. The 'potential' issues of running four GPUs across two cards, simply hasn't materialised. The only issue I've had to date was with the original Medal of Honour game from 2002. It simply doesn't know what SLi technology is - and as such cuts off the bottom of the screen. A minor tweak to the launch .exe in the nVidia Control Panel disables SLi for this game only and runs it through a single 680 GPU. And that's it. Granted, I believe that in a head-to-race race, two GTX980's in SLi would prove to be more powerful. But I wanted to try this as more as a technical showcase of what could be achieved on a gaming PC used regularly - rather than an outright FPS-scoring monster. In conclusion, I am very happy with the results and setup of this card. Yes, you do need a fairly hefty PSU when the card is getting busy - and it's noticeable than the stock cooler is trying its best to keep things under control. But they are still very capable and desirable graphics cards to obtain. If you can get one for a decent price - nab it while you still can!
