3M Auto Shines the Light on Safety
Industry Car Care Leader Uncovers the Importance of Clear Headlights During Fall and Winter Seasons
ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Hazy headlights are one of the most important and often overlooked safety obstacles for drivers. Yellowed, cloudy, or scratched headlights can reduce visibility to roadside debris and compromise important reaction time for drivers, particularly in autumn and winter when facing fewer daylight hours. 3M, a proven leader in auto care solutions, is shining the light on safety concerns and uncovering the benefits of driving with clean, clear headlights, just in time for Halloween and Daylight Saving Time.

Plastic headlights can withstand impact, but they can't avoid natural factors that dull and discolor their surface. 3M offers a variety of do-it-yourself headlight restoration solutions that can remove yellowing, grime, and haze to improve the clarity of lenses in a single afternoon's time. In addition to improved safety, there are also significant cost-benefits to restoring instead of professionally replacing lenses. Using a DIY kit to tackle hazed headlights can save more than $150 to $1,000 in replacement costs.
