Re: Meguiars Headlight Coating - innitial application results.
Nice job.
How long does it take to dry?
How much over spray is involved?

Label says 3-5 min. and IME that's always been true..
Fully cured within 24hrs.
Not enough overspray for me to ever be overly carefull. I just let it rip, mostly concentrating on getting a good solid overlapping coat, working top to bottom.
[label does say to be careful about overspray though. Says if you get any overspray on the paint to immediately wipe off with a microfiber and some alcohol.

Re: Meguiars Headlight Coating - innitial application results.
How much masking would be needed or are you saying the spray pattern is tight enough that you can deal with the paint after?
I have been eyeing this to try on headlights that Opti-lens doesn't fair well with.

Re: Meguiars Headlight Coating - innitial application results.
I'm hoping to get 1 year out of this product also. I hope Meguires tested this stuff out under harsh conditions (Florida sun) and we really get 1 year. I plan on doing 2 or more coats.

I honestly couldn't see myself needing to do more than a couple of widths of 2" masking tape around the headlights + maybe laying a beach towel over the hood in the most extreme of careful situations.. Maybe if it was real windy out, but I used my 1st bottle on about a half dozen vehicles at least and I never felt like there was any critical danger. It does have a tight spray.
These are some old after shots from when I 1st bought the combo kit 2 yrs. ago. Notice I used 2 widths of tape and layed a microfiber on top of the paint. [these were like my 1st times using it. I'm not even all that careful anymore, you get the hang of it, just like applying a tire coating and not staining the wheels anymore.You could also just pop the hood.
I didn't use any tape or anything with the 2 sets I did today. No worries.

I'm nobody, but I wouldn't recommend going 3 coats. You'll see certain degradation in clarity if you do 3 coats. Try it.
2 coats will last a year, I've seen it.

IME the biggest hurdle was seeing those dazzling results making it to the 2nd day... That's why I'm trying only 1 coat. The results you see on day 2 are pretty much set in stone for a ballpark year.. With gradual but apparent falloff after that mark.

That Mckees AIO looks like the real deal...I think with the BOGO I'll add this to my order.

Re: Meguiars Headlight Coating - innitial application results.
Nice review. I was satisfied with the performance of the headlight coating. On my brother's girlfriends truck it lasted a little over a year. They have started to yellow again. I only gave them 1 coat. I haven't seen my uncles truck in a few months and the coating looked to be doing ok. I have not seen the truck in 6 months so I am not sure if it is still on there. I applied it to my brothers car as well and his fell just shy of 1 year before they started to yellow again.
