Headlight sealant after polishing

[Patrick Bateman]

Just used the 3M restoration kit on my absolutely shagged headlights.

Can anyone recommend a sealant to use now that it's done? I believe if I just leave it there's a good chance they'll turn yellow or some such.

Yes they're likely to return to the previous state, use a good wax the same as you woukd on the body.

I've got Collinite 915 and 845- although I'm sure I read somewhere that the 845 (liquid wax) contains more of *something* that shouldn't be used on plastics.

[Kentish]

Meguiars canauba wax is a good choice.

Jetseal

That Jetseal looks decent. Opti-coat and Opti-lens seem to be the business too although rather expensive.

Was away to get the jetseal then saw this-

Cheaper and meant to be the dog's danglies.

Where'd you get the kit to restore your headlights IYDMMA?
Was it easy enough to do?
Got a Merc W203 that has the 'frosted' headlights

What do you use for cleaning up the headlights/
i have tried the Maguires product and have to say, not impressed. Probably my application though.

[Patrick Bateman]

Is it bad that I have never seen 'IYDMMA' before but instantly knew what it was?

Not a quick job- and my knees were agony, easy enough though and a night and day difference. Not 100% but infinitely better. If you had the patience/inclination you could get it to practicality 100%. Having the headlights out the car would allow that.
