Best Headlight Protectant??

I'm currently using Mequiers PlastX but I don't think it really protects from UV. In my arsenal I have 303 and various waxes. What, if anything, are you guys using? I'm not into films. And I don't want a product that will screw up a new lens (new Taco).
Thanks!

 

Don't use wax on plastic or glass.

 

This is what Scotty recommends...LOL

Well, I'm a Scotty AND a Meguiars fan, so I'm gonna try that stuff!!

 

i've used Jet Seal since i got the truck 2.5 yrs ago. it's early to say, but i've used it about every 4 months or so and no fade or yellowing yet. but i wouldn't expect that for quite a while anyway. i got Jet Seal after seeing a bunch of good reviews.

 

Been using this since new. Three plus years later and still looking good.

 

The Meguiars Headlight Protectant Amazon reviews are mixed.......I do not want to screw up this new truck lol!!

 

PPF the headlights. Will prevent hazing and scratches. Cost will be about 100$

 

Can you tell me more about PPF? Recommend a brand? Are they precut to size?

 

Why cant you use wax on plastic? Not trying to be a dick, just curious.

I used it on my previous truck for about 7 years and my headlights looked like glass. Im using some wax on my tacos headlights and tailights too, seems to be fine so far.

 

Plastic is very porous and can actually fog your lights in certain weather conditions. But this is something I picked up growing up. I just googled it myself and the general consensus says it's ok. But to me at least, I would use a headlight restoration kit and apply as needed, I would not personally used paint wax on plastic. But I don't know what's true on the internet and don't want to wager my own lights to find out. YMMV.

 

What happens to headlights that aren’t protected from UV?

 

They turn yellow due to oxidization. Can weaken the plastic and cause it to crack.

I've always had good results with Plexus.

Plexus Spray Cleaner-7 oz Can (Standard)

Anyone ever try those overlays. Something like what Lamin-x offers?

 

Carnuba wax works fantastic. I wax after wet sanding with high grit and plastix on aggressive wool pad with Makita rotary. Don't wetsand if your clear is still good. I would recommend spraymax 2k clearcoat after sanding rather than polish and wax.

 

I use whatever spray wax I'm using...
Eagle One Nano, Meguiars Ultimate and currently, Meguiars Ceramic Hybrid.

Hopefully that takes a long time.
