Headlight coating question

[SATracker]

Is it necessary, a good idea, or pointless to put a coating on new headlights? I bought a 2016 Tacoma, did the paint and I'm curious about the headlights. When I work on headlights I coat them with Wolfgang Headlight Sealant.

Yes, did mine 21 months ago with Dlux..car sits outside 24/7 and lights are clear like day one.

I think it's a good idea, it's going to help protect the headlights, which IME have a lower life expectancy than the paint.

I've always sealed the headlights, taillights, fogs, etc with whatever I was using as LSP on the paint with success. Is there really anything gained by using a product like the one from Wolfgang?

I don't know, I used to do as you, just use whatever LSP on everything. Today I would use Opti-Lens or DLux on the headlights, just because I've experienced the pain of failure of the factory coating there.

What's the time frame between applications to keep the headlights always protected?
