cmdsea 3rd Gear April 2, 2018 Share April 2, 2018 Best is to use something like this.. You dont want to risk ruining something expensive like a headlight and I would prefer to use a reputable brand like 3M rather than some of the home remedies being suggested... https://www.amazon.com/3M-39008-Headlight-Restoration-System/dp/B001AIZ5HY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1522630791&sr=8-3&keywords=car+headlight+restoration+kit ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky2007 Turbocharged June 24, 2018 Share June 24, 2018 (edited) Another way is to wax the headlights at the same time while waxing the car. Most wax/sealants have some protection against UV rays.This I agree.. my previous car 7.5 years old and current car near 3 years old.. I wax the headlights and rear signal cluster about 3x a year and it maintained a new look all these years If you use a plastic polish, normally they are polish & protect however if you use those toothpaste method, you need to apply something on. Best is check out the label on the wax products and see if it suitable to use on plastic etc.Actually I use the collinite 476 on the headlights although the can states not suitable for clear plastic.. but it works and I have using it to apply these 10 years Edited June 24, 2018 by Chucky2007 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iiiusion 2nd Gear July 25, 2018 Share July 25, 2018 (edited) You really need some kind of sealant after polishing. Still haven't found the ideal product. Recently came across this, don't know how much better than ordinary sealant which doesn't really last: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Quick-Headlight-Clear-Coat-Wipes/?N=5002385+3290574556&rt=rud Specially made for new headlights not just restored ones.

AndyHo 1st Gear February 14, 2019 Share February 14, 2019 (edited) Use Meguires headlight restoration. I saw rave review. Turn yellowish headlight to crystal clear. Then use Meguires headlight protectant to maintain.Tried it.. applied too much, entire headlight became smear... end of the day sent to professional ws to do it for $80. As good as new...Meguires headlight restoration is not cheap... i think abt $50-60... my advice is let the pro do it.

Watwheels Supersonic February 15, 2019 Share February 15, 2019 A quick fix that I have seen on Youtube is using WD40. The demonstrator did not spray directly onto the headlights but instead on a piece of paper kitchen towel and go over the headlights. No scrubbing, no polishing, the effect is almost instant. There's a but. The demonstration never did mention how long it will last and I did not see that he clean or rinse the headlights with water or anything after that. It's good only for a quick fix if you are too busy or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyHo 1st Gear February 15, 2019 Share February 15, 2019 I'm using this, once a while clean it will be clear. Tried but as not clear as the one did by ws. I think wet sanding and machine polish gives the best result.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
