I tried Opti Lens a few times and it does not last very long on my headlights, a few months at most before they start discoloring again. I am going to try spraying my headlights with a 2K aerosol clear I will be using to paint other parts of my car. Has anyone tried this? It is supposed to first be sprayed with some kind of adhesive promoter or primer but I am not exactly sure what grit sand paper you sand down to before applying the adhesive promotor before spraying the clear. Some places say 800grit while others say you can go much finer, I would rather go finer, 800 grit seems to be too rough.
I use only one UV sealer for my headlight restoration and it applies easily and lasts extremely long time . .......Yacht varnish .
Highly UV , water , salt resistant . Also does not crack or peel . I love this stuff

Get clear gloss yacht varnish . In the can the varnish looks slightly golden , however once applied and dried it is crystal clear . Usually I dilute it with mineral turpentine so its quite liquid , then I use a lint free cloth ( like you use to clean glasses ) and apply it in linear strokes across . Be sure to do long strokes from one side to the other side without stopping , apply quickly and evenly . Dont stop and over correct . Leaves a nice gloss finish that dries overnight .
***Its important it is quite liquid or it will leave pattern lines if it is too thick***

What brand and model of yacht varnish? Intrigued. Thanks.
Hey guys i hope someone can answer me soon. I saw this post and decided to try it. My headlights were wet sanded and buffed n polished about r months ago didnt seal them with anything. Well they are already cloudy. So i found this post and gave it a try. I compounded and polsihed the headlights then applied the mixture. Came out great. Well this morning after the dew wore off the headlights they looked horrible. Really streaky. I dont understand why. What did i do wrong? During the day after i applied it the streaks disappered and the headlight looked great. Not its crap. I was able to rub it all off this morning with just a microfiber towel and some pressure. I mixed the stuff in those lil dixie cups. Idk if thts makes a difference. I read something about them on one of the pages. But can anyone help?
