"An important story. Harrowing, and suspenseful, yes--but it's also a deep dive into a complex and egregiously misunderstood country with two very different faces. There is no better time to know more about Iran--and Jason Rezaian has seen both of those faces."
-- Anthony Bourdain

The dramatic memoir of the journalist who was held hostage in a high-security prison in Tehran for eighteen months and whose release--which almost didn't happen--became a part of the Iran nuclear deal

In July 2014, Washington Post Tehran bureau chief Jason Rezaian was arrested by Iranian police, accused of spying for America. The charges were absurd. Rezaian's reporting was a mix of human interest stories and political analysis. He had even served as a guide for Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown. Initially, Rezaian thought the whole thing was a terrible misunderstanding, but soon realized that it was much more dire as it became an eighteen-month prison stint with impossibly high diplomatic stakes.

While in prison, Rezaian had tireless advocates working on his behalf. His brother lobbied political heavyweights including John Kerry and Barack Obama and started a social media campaign--#FreeJason--while Jason's wife navigated the red tape of the Iranian security apparatus, all while the courts used Rezaian as a bargaining chip in negotiations for the Iran nuclear deal.

In Prisoner, Rezaian writes of his exhausting interrogations and farcical trial. He also reflects on his idyllic childhood in Northern California and his bond with his Iranian father, a rug merchant; how his teacher Christopher Hitchens inspired him to pursue journalism; and his life-changing decision to move to Tehran, where his career took off and he met his wife. Written with wit, humor, and grace, Prisoner brings to life a fascinating, maddening culture in all its complexity.

"Jason paid a deep price in defense of journalism and his story proves that not everyone who defends freedom carries a gun, some carry a pen."
--John F. Kerry, 68th Secretary of State

Good for the effort and price.
This will _NOT_ make your lights look brand new! It will make them clear again. Or mostly clear if your lights are super bad. I had one old light and one new light on my car when I bought it. It drove me crazy walking by my car. I used this exactly per instructions other than I rubbed the crap out of my light. I got great results! Not perfect though. I got two clear headlights now. That is what I wanted. The finish is a little rough. This is to be EXPECTED since you are not using buffing compound. Use gloves. The finish looks like a light is a few years old now instead of 15 years old. It will not be can not make your light look new. Get the expensive kit if you want new look. My lights look close enough to not catch the eye. I am satisfied.

Not bad at all!
These headlight cleaner wipes worked far better than I thought they would. I have used many a headlight cleaner and restorer, but this kit was the easiest to use with very good results. No need for power tools or even different sanding disks. Just two different types of wipes, super easy. We will see how long the lights stay clear for, but if I had to do it once a year it would be worth it! Four stars because the lights came out clear, but not crystal clear, but to be fair that may just be the condition of my headlights. Try this least expensive, easy fix first. It many very well be just what you need.

Worth it for $12.
Three stars for the progress it made on the lights of our 9 year old car. It works, but it won't look like new. Requires a bit of elbow grease, and it feels like a waste when the wipes run dry pretty fast. You have to keep them folded small (per the instructions) so they don't evaporate too fast, but then you get a tiny cleaning surface area as well. Spoiler alert: They still dry out fast. I wish I'd taken pictures for you because you WILL see a good improvement. Just don't expect brand new look. I'd say we had a maybe 75% improvement, and that combined with the new headlamps we installed made them work great. 4 stars if they want to come back and offer a like 2-4oz bottle of the chemical they use on the wipes and just let me use my own microfiber. That would be great.

Product doesn't work as advertised
This product does not provide enough wipes to remove more than the minimum amount of oxidation. The headlights were starting to yellow, so the oxidation was not severe. We followed the directions on the box to the letter and after using the wipes as directed were left with a sticky residue (which was left-over oxidation that the drying wipes could not remove). I am forced to purchase another box of the product in order to complete the job. I can't drive my car around with the tape protecting the body of the car on it, plus this is Florida so there would be bugs stuck in the tape and the sticky residue. A terrible product. Plus when I called them they said they would send me an email so I can tell them what the problem is and they would give it to their "research" staff to handle. I'm doing that and perhaps they will reimburse me for the second box I will have to get overnighted in order to finish the job.

The Armor All Car Headlight Cleaner Wipes are a convenient and effective solution for restoring foggy, yellowed, or hazy headlights without the need for complicated kits. These pre-moistened wipes make it super easy to wipe away oxidation and dirt, improving visibility and enhancing the car’s overall appearance. ✅ Pros: Quick & Easy to Use: No need for additional tools or sanding. Restores Clarity: Helps reduce haze and oxidation buildup. Convenient Packaging: Portable and easy to store in the car. No Harsh Chemicals or Strong Odors. ⚠️ Cons: May Require Multiple Uses for Heavily Oxidized Headlights.

Final Verdict: For a quick fix and easy maintenance, the Armor All Headlight Cleaner Wipes are a great go-to option. They work well for light oxidation and keeping headlights clear, but for severely foggy lights, a full restoration kit may be needed. Great for touch-ups and convenience
