Lamin-X for Headlights

I have an 09 Tacoma TRD Sport, I recently switched back to OEM "Black Chrome" Headlight housings as opposed to aftermarket DEPO "BHLM" look-a-likes (could not get the passenger side to quit dogging/leaking after resealing multiple times).

Anyway, the OEM housings have some minor swirls on them nothing deep or that you can feel when running your finger over the lights, the swirls still show after using compound/polish/wax/Plast-X...etc.

I plan on having them professionally buffed by a detailer in my area, and I was going to have him install Lamin-X protection film over them afterwards, anyone know if this would help mask any light swirls (if there are any left after they're buffed/restored)? Thanks!

 

That's good idea to lamin-x.
Not sure I'd pay to have headlights buffed
(I'd diy) but if ya got the extra cash why not.

 

Detailing shop in town said they would charge $85 for the film, installing the film and cleaning the lights.

 

Yea sounds good. I personally wouldn't pay anyone to buff my lights (it's easy)
But the lamin-x website has headlight film for 59.99 so seems like not bad deal

 

Make sure to post pictures. I wanna see how nice they come out !!

 

sure thing!

 

Lamin-x is good stuff. I was looking into it when i got the replacement lenses for DTRL cracking. Ended up going with Xpel which is similar to Lamin-X. Professional install is the way to go. $20 bucks for install is a steal. The corners on the headlights can lead to blemishes when installing, I did mine myself and have little cracks at the corners but I do not care. Please post pictures when finished so we can see...
