Do headlights get better than this???

i think there is some kind of UV protectant clear coat you can put on afterwards ill try to find it someone else might know morw about it

 

That's interesting. Have you had this done and has it lasted a while? Curious to know what they use to do the job.

 

I actually work for SAM'S Club. I don't work in that department but I have seen the results, before and after. I know they sand them down with different grits of sandpaper, they spray something on them and then put a lamp over the lense to cure or dry the solution. If your lights aren't to bad they will look like new. If you needed them done 2 years ago they may have some hazing on the top of the lense where it is worse. For $30 and 45 minutes of my time its worth letting them do it, and if it hazes over again I have a 5 year warrantee. I've seen people buy kits for $20 and if they are lucky it might last a year and then they are doing it all over again.

 

This is specifically for headlights (clear plastics) This is a general UV protectant.

 

They use mothers kit pretty much. I did it for wal mart in high school

 

That's good to know. Had no idea that they did this.

 

Ended up getting mine all back together. I'm pretty happy with the results. There's still a little bit of haze but seeing as what it started as, I am happy.

 

3M makes a good kit too. Varying levels of sandpaper with a drill attachment and a final buffing compound. My truck headlights still look fine, but it worked great on an older Outback.

 

Now just keep an eye out for moisture since you took them apart.

 

Yeah, I am definitely on the lookout for that, but I keep it in the garage so hopefully that'll help

 

Looks great OP. Did you do the BHLM mod at some point?

 

I never knew who made the kit they used. I only know it's worth it for the 5 year warranty and I won't have to spend all my time doing it myself. It really is a great deal to good to pass up on.

 

good results guys!

 

Yeah I did it a few years ago. Totally changed the look of the front of the truck.

 

Wet sand up to 2000 grit and then use Spar Urethane. If you want to come to Raleigh I have the urethane and have done this.

 

Before

after

 

I did my wives jeep this last weekend and they came out pretty good. It took me about a hour total with the 3m kit.

 

The urethane looks good. Haven't done that to the lights. I hear that it helps the longevity of the light
