Make sure Fast Finish is ok to use on clear plastic surfaces... I think I heard something about it not being recommended for anything but the paint. Keep off plastic trim or something, I'm not sure but you better check.

Thanks Eldorado I will try that. Do you have any experience with Optilens? Any opinions or comparisons to this product?

No I don't. All I know is it's kind of expensive, right? Lol.

I tell people with newer cars... "hey I may not be able to speak to my car and answer a phone call, and I sure as heck ain't gonna get any directions because there isn't even a screen for them to show on... But at least my headlights will never turn yellow like yours, because my car has real headlights, made of glass"! Real car baby! Lol.

Now how much did we agree to for me to restore your headlights? Lol.

Yes Eldorado it's expensive, but I'm told that it's worth it from a reliable source .

I'm hooking up a SUV at the moment, but someone made a comment on another forum and I believe it was about the product you're talking about not having UV protection? Is that true? Or am I mistaking it for another name?

I hope thats not the case, its a good name with a high price tag.

You may not consider me a reliable source, but OL did not perform well for me. Dlux is doing much better on a car that sits outside 24/7 with a high UV index of 12.

Thanks for that sir.

Every 1-3 months eh? Do you know how easy it is to forget to do that? I'd say it's among the most forgotten of things to get around to doing. Lol.

And it's not a solution to already degrading UV coat, because at that point you'll have to polish it off before it can look new again to apply this new coat? This won't just band aid a nasty headlight in 1 step.

Yes i am aware, but it is just a band aid fix for already stuffed headlights, IMO And as for the wolfgang plastic sealant it's like

sunscreen for you headlights, stops them from getting sun burnt lol, and i never forget to apply.

When your looking at $600 to $1600 for 1x genuine headlight for my make. =)

We have very high UV level's in Australia not let alone in Tasmania.
 
Will it be good to apply Meguairs Headlight Coating on brand new headlights?

It can be applied, the only thing is that it’s longevity against UV rays is about 1yr. and once you hit that mark there’s not really an easy way to remove it.

Call Meguiars and ask them for the best answer. 1-800-347-5700

All the coating folks I spoke to at Mobile Tech Expo about this said you need to remove the factory coating (usually requires sanding it off) to get the best results on headlights.
