Every new vehicle sold today has headlights made of a polycarbonate plastic that resists the impact of small debris, even in extreme conditions. Whether it’s 100 degrees or 20 below, a rock kicked up by the truck in front of you won’t break the bulb behind these plastic shields.
The only problem is, this strong plastic slowly breaks down when exposed to the sunlight, coupled with swings from extreme heat to extreme cold. Modern vehicles have a coating that protects from the Sun’s rays, but even that coating breaks down over time, leaving the plastic lens to discolor to a faded yellow or light brown.
Not only do the oxidizing headlight lenses begin to discolor, they usually cloud up as well, making them less effective. Aging headlights are ugly and dangerous, but in many cases, replacements can be expensive.
How to use headlight coating:
1. Stick masking tape around the headlight and clean it with a wet towel. According to the degree of damage to the headlight, use polishing disc with (1500#/2000#/3000#) sandpaper in sequence to grind the headlight until it turns white, spray water to remove oxides and dry it.
2. Apply the Clear Plastic Polish to the wool pad to polish the headlight surface and wipe with microfiber towel.
3. Using foam applicator apply the ceramic headlight coating to the headlight surface , wait for 40 minutes, you can do lighting test and surface waterproof test.
