i do have one question, is this plastiX clear coat permanent, or does it fade in weather and you have to keep re-applying it?

most liquids you apply only last a month on average.

mine did...i just tried it again for the 6th time...fail
I bought a new set of lights last week cause of this thing

how much did you pay for new headlights?

 
Rep Power: 256

$100 picked em up off craigs list

just make sure its oem lights, cause the aftermarket "replicas" have horrible beam output.

 
Rep Power: 256

yeah they are oem

Anyone ever use invisiGARD? It's like $60 to get, but it looks like it's a good investment. More of a preventative thing, rather than a "gotta make the lights look good again" thing. But if anyone has good experience with it, I might invest in it in the future.

is it a film? the thing with that is it will reduce light output at night (yes even if its a clear film). the headlight plastic lens reduces light output quite a bit already.

Yeah, it's a film overlay. Oh well, it sounded like a good idea!

Do you recommend one over the other? Or are they both essentially the same?

Do you have to use the rubbing compound? Or is it not necissary if it's smooth already? And do you recommend the orbital polisher/drill bit? Or is it fine just to buff manually?
And are there any plastic sealers you can get in the store? Any recommendations?

I just don't wanna mess this up. haha

manually takes forever, a simple buffer makes it very fast. rubbing compound should be used to smoothen it before polish. no plastic sealers in stores. but you can use a good wax every few weeks too. it sticks to plastic, esp the new 3m performance finish.

so one of those little 6" orbital buffer things that sell for like $20 at wal-mart will do the trick? And i venture to guess the sealer will be cheaper than the wax and less work in the long run? So i'm going to check those out, i wonder why they don't sell them in stores. =[

CAN YOU POST PICS???? I want to see it, I am thinking of getting that

sealer is more expensive, i paid $40 for my bottle of wolfgang clear plastik sealer but its lasted a couple years and there is still some more in there. wax is much cheaper.

i have just used some blue stuff, rubb it in, then buff, buff until you get spasms in your fingers. i can tell you that i have removed all that oxidation and h.lights look 85% decent. Clear and yellowish haze is gone...not bad for 7$ at parts source. It does say on bottle that in certain cases you would need to sand with 2000 grit s.paper
