Headlight Lens Up Keep
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

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.

Re: Headlight Lens Up Keep
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.

XPEL is another great option.

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?
