Question About Headlight Protectant

[David Fermani]

I'm wondering how this product works. Is its chemisty like a sealant, paint coating or something else? As an Insurance Damage Appraiser I write to sand and buff lights when they are damaged as it's an approved repair process. But, in order for me to suggest a product to a shop, I need to know its durability parameters as they/we have to stand behind it with a limited warranty or else it's a sub-standard repair. Up until now shops have used a specialty clearcoat that lasts several years and returns the light to "pre-loss" or OEM specifications. Will the Meg's HL Protectant be able to do this? I'd love to start putting this product on my estimates and having shops use it.

It's included in the HD Headlight Repair Kit but are not offering it as a stand-alone product yet. I wish they did.....

Initially, no, but we hope to make it available as a stand alone later on.

About the protectant - it's been tested extensively in the lab, of course, and it offers literally thousands of hours of UV protection. It's super easy to apply, almost like applying a pure polish. Once applied you can definitely feel an improved slickness on the surface of the lens.

That's pretty broad for me and is why I started this thread. 1000 hours is only about 90 days. I need something that will last ALOT longer in terms of months/years like clear coat.

One of the detailers here will sand, etc headlights, then put a UV coating over them and use a heat or UV lamp or something to actually cure it. Cant think of which guy though...

I believe that would be Innovative Detailing.

Yes, it is pretty broad but that's because we aren't making claims for it being a product similar to what you're describing. While it will last far longer than a mere 90 days, it is not a clear coat like coating, which apparently you're really looking for. We're sorry to say that at the moment we don't offer a product like the one you describe.

Re: Question About Headlight Protectant

Thanks Michael. I'm sure the product is excellent, but doesn't (unfortunately) cater to my specific needs at the moment.

You could PM Innovative Detailing and see what they do.
