Headlight Lens Restoration

[soldout]

I wax my headlights every week after I wash my car.

Like posted above headlights are painted with a clearcoat from the factory and therefore need to be treated just like any other painted surface on your Yaris.

If you just remove the oxidized layer from the surface most likely it will return within a year if its an outdoor car and you dont continue to protect the lens from UV. Sometimes even worse since youve already removed some of the old clearcoat which has UV blockers mixed in.

What do you wax it with? A special lens substance, or your regular paint wax?

I dont use it if it dont say Mothers on the bottle.


No really any paste or liquid wax that your using for your paint can go on your headlights, taillights, windows, lisence plates, carbonfiber, wheels, anything painted or clearcoated should have wax on it as its first layer of defense against UV.
