Greetings All,

Another rookie question. Let me say I defiantly appreciate all the previous feedback on my other questions.

My headlight lens are in very good to excellent condition. I wanted to know what others may be doing to maintain them?

Thanks,

Ray
 
They already a have a UV coating on them that will protect them you can put opti coat or even better opti lens for the added protection
 
I have waxed mine, and I hit them with glass cleaner when I touch up the the vehicle.

Opti Lens, pricey, but will keep them looking like new. Normally two coats will do, but in heavy UV areas it is recommended to do 3 coats.

Huh? Doesn't OPT always say 1 coat is fine on their coatings? I did 2 of Opti-Lens to be sure but now you seem to be telling me I needed 3??
 
You can apply a permanent solution (once) like Opti-Lens, or regularly apply a protectant like DP Headlight Protectant Spray.

Anyone here use Xpel or another film? Seems like that would be even better than a coating. The only drawback I can see is that the edges of the film might get ragged over time, but then I guess you could peel it off and install a new film.
 
If you regularly use a waterless or rinseless productsealant, or even wax they'll look great forever. If you go for months without putting anything on them then I'd use a product to protect them.

We have the highest UV index and Dr. G recommended 3 coats. Where do you live, Setec?

X-pel is great. I have it on my headlights. Been on there for about 3-4 years and they are still clear as is x-pel.
