I used Cerakote headlight restoration kit from Walmart not long ago and it worked amazingly. 3 step process of decon wipes, wet sanding, and then ceramic coating. Everything you need is in the box other than a spray bottle of water or water hose and it was very easy to do.
Before going that route I tried the Mothers polish out of curiosity and did not have good results at all. |

I just purchased that same kit since I saw a TV add the other day. Any company that has enough money to buy a TV add, has to have some serious sales to be able to do that. Looks like a great product & 2 years of longevity with the harsh UV rays from the sun is pretty damn good.

I used the Sylvania Headlight Restoration kit, which was amazing and easy to use. It's a multi-step (three) process with a clear coat to protect the headlights from getting hazy.

I used a Cerakote kit from Walmart. I was very careful with sanding to make sure that the whole surface was smooth. This required drying to see the surface condition, sanding areas that needed more work in a different direction, and drying again. I had to repeat this process a few times to get the surface perfect. Wiping on the coating turned it clear and the results were amazing.

Add PPF while still fresh and smooth. I got mine from iclearshield on eBay.
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...n=iclearshield Message them for pre-cuts for your specific headlights, in whichever film you prefer (3M Pro, Xpel, etc). Easy to apply with the supplied squeegee and a mixed bottle of solution. |
