Headlamp refurb question
 
1 Attachment(s)
I need to refurb my headlamps. See pic

I’ve done it before successfully on another car so I know what to do with the kit with the different grades of abrasive paper, compound and polishing attachment for drill.

But people say it’s best if you then apply a top coat to protect from further uv degradation.

What top coat have folks used, how easy to apply, and with what medium/long term results?

Thanks

I did mine about 18 months ago and left them naked so to speak. Since then they have only needed a light polish once.

I do however put wax polish on them, perhaps the wax has a UVA protection.

You need something with good UV protection.

Something like this:

Remember that although it seems expensive you're only using a very small amount.

Alternatively have a browse in Halfords etc. and look for UV protection.

Good luck.

Andy.
