Headlight lens

I have tried many "headlight restoration" products and they look good for a while. Since the UV coating is now gone, they will not stay that way too long. I have even tried the wipe on UV protectorant - what I waste. I have finally tried another product which is a actual spray on UV coating. (LiteRight UV Coating) Not affiliated, in fact I had some ordering issues, which finally got resolved. They have a video on the site to show you how. This is my Highlander headlight which I did. I would suggest one can for each headlight, even though they say it will do more. Since you are spraying on a coating, if your spraying skills are lacking, might not want to try it or get someone who can. Also, it needs to be UV "cured", I did it on a very sunny day and parked in in the direct sun for a few hours or you can use UV lights - if you have them. I am extremely pleased with it.

^ I assume you have to use a product to remove the haze / micro-scratches before using this product?

I used Quixx with comes (in addition to all the various grits of sandpaper & liquid abrasive) with a spray on UV coating which you are to re-apply periodically.

This "curing" of the UV coating sounds kind of odd. I have visions of the blue light in the Dentist's office as my fillings are being set..

BTW, moved this to the car care forum, as this is applicable to all vehicles, not just HL

cheers
