Headlight Restoration - Again.....

[Fireguy mike]

So I did a search with nothing found real current (last year or so), so my question......as a final UV restoration, would a good quality 2k urathane clear-coat with UV inhibitors work well. And would you perfer spray can or mix-and-airbrush? I did read Barry's artical and it's pretty much what I have in mind to do.



Thanks, Mike

In order to restore the lens back to its OEM standards a new ultra violet (UV) resistant coating must be re-applied. For brand new vehicles, Optimum Opti-Lensâ„¢ will adhere to the factory-applied film to increase its life span. On refinished headlights, where the coating has failed and has been removed do to polishing.



Bonds directly to the polycarbonate finish due to its co-polymer resin content designed to bind with plastic and polycarbonate. Once applied to the headlight or other hard surfaces, the resin will form covalent bonds with the substrate and crosslink to form a permanent film. Opti-Lens coating contains high levels of UV blockers to prevent headlights from fading over time.



Apply directly to the headlight using a poly foam applicator or Optimum Dual Pro Applicator. Work a small amount of product over the lens using overlapping passes until it appears to melt into the lens and disappear. Remove any streaks or high spots with a soft microfiber towel. It takes approximately 30 minutes to cure before it can be exposed to water. Allow 24 hours to pass before washing or cleaning with pressure.
