Headlight protectors

[VX KAT]

I polished my lights last year and they still look perfect. I guess it just depends on how nitpicky you are when you do it. Then again, I used to be a professional detailer so I use a high speed polisher and some different product instead of those kits from the store. Ideally though, a good polish job and then covering them with the 3M stoneguard or lexan, like Rowhard did, is the best idea. Personally though, I'd just take it to a trusted body shop and have them apply the stoneguard to your lights using a single sheet and a heat gun. That way there's no gap like there would be with this kit.

The "gap" you're referring to?? Is it the slight potential air space between the stongard film covers and the hard plastic of the headlights?

Would heating the stongard covers with a hair dryer be a good install tip? Any other tips?

Any other type of UV inhibitor that can be applied to the headlights or to our stongard film covers? Anything like a consumer spray-on UV?

I thought they did have UV protection... Oh well, maybe I'll just run with Luna's idea.

I'd asked the ebay seller of our Stongard covers about UV protection. He didn't "think" they had any. Maybe we could drill down a bit further with the manufacturer about it?
