New headlight coating

[spiralout462]

I have acquired new headlights for my 2nd Gen Tacoma. I am planning to coat them with C QUARTZ UK prior to installation. Is there anything better , longer lasting, on the market today? I've been out of the online detailing world for a few months.

Car Pro Dlux or Opti lens.

I tend to thing CQUK will last longer than dlux. ? I've always wanted to try opti lens though.

CQUK may last longer on paint, but Dlux is made for plastics.

2nd gen for the win! see mine in the sig box. Love it. 2011 Dblcab, long bed, sport 4x4

I have only sealed my lights with a quality sealant, but am looking at using Optiseal before winter to test it before using on clients vehicles.

Will stay subbed to see options and results.

I don't have any personal experience with them, but this should keep them well protected. Ease of use may depend on the complexity of the surface and experience.

Opti-Lens is really easy to use and stores well as long as the air is purged from it, and it's supposed to have good UV protection.

I have used dLux & Opti-Lens and it appears dLux has outlasted Opti-Lens as the Opti-Lens lights started to discolor slightly compared to the ones coated in dLux. Both were polished/refinished within days of each other.

Meguires has a new one out. It's on AG, but can't comment on its durability.

DLUX should last longer as it is made for plastics. It can also withstand higher temperatures. But CQUK would still work fine.

X-Pel is great on headlights. I have had it on my headlights for 2 years now and there are no signs of the coating failing on the headlights. The film looks great as well.

It's pretty good. It lasted a little over 1 year on my brothers girlfriends F150. They are starting to show signs of needing a reapplication.

I thought about the Xpel route. I am scared that it will be to visible. They get funky over time also.
