The only thing that seems unique with the Sylvania kit is the Surface Activator.
Quote:
What is the surface activator in Sylvania Headlight Restoration Kit?
What it does - surface activator prepares the surface in 2 ways: it removes the yellow staining and it softens the degraded original UV clear coat that still may be on the headlight lenses. Procedure - apply 10 pump sprays of surface activator onto each headlight lens as uniformly as possible.

Answer the question, Sylvania!
Actually, Sylvania didn't answer the question, Google did, from Sylvania's instructions for their kit
here.
Those instructions vary a bit from this video, which is a year old:
That doesn't say to spray 10 times, which is an arbitrary number.
My Camry headlights seem twice the size of my Civic headlights, but 10 squirts for each?
Curiously, Sylvania recommends electrical tape instead of automotive or painter's tape.
Headlight lenses are polycarbonate and I looked up what chemical softens polycarbonate: Acetone.
This guy cleans his headlights with Windex, then dry and rust-free #0000 steel wool.
Then he wipes acetone on it, sprays Windex around the windshield, and wipes it off:
I need to remove the fog from the inside.
