So you tried it ?. The ones I have seen use regular clear or 2k clear. The 2k is probably better with the hardener catalyst.

Re: WG Uber Ceramic on my restored headlights ?
Yes ... Unfortunately. I had masked it off and sprayed it w/ 1 coat. Then started digging around on the web and went to the Krylon web page , started looking in the question & answer section... and stumbled across a question and then answer from a Krylon rep.... whom said... " we don't recommend any of our products for headlight lense's...."
I had to " hump it " the rest of the day ... removed it with brake cleaner ( only because it's super quick and sanded the rest away. Then had to re-stock my sand paper supply and start over with 500 ,600,800,1000,1200,1500,2000, and then 3000.
What a pain in the arse... I'm just getting to polishing now. I wasted all day dinking around re-sanding & wet sanding, and ...since I should have left it alone.... I really shot myself in the foot today. ( shat !!!! )

Re: WG Uber Ceramic on my restored headlights ?
Looks like you completed the project without anyone chiming in before too late, sorry I missed this earlier. So you learned not to use the Fusion. You have to worry about the propellant in the can as much as the chemicals. Lots of people coat headlights for longevity. Its too late now but you should have asked the person that restored the headlights what they used as the final sealant/coating. Some people use kits available that do not come with any type of sealant or just use compound to polish them. For legal reasons I only apply a final coating that is approved or safe for headlights. There are lots of forum post concerning headlights, sorry you had all of the extra work.
