Love the idea of buying just the uv coating. Maybe for the pro version of it ))

Mike Stoops and Mike Pennington thank you for demoing this product. Truly amazing to see how simple this process is going to be. A must have.

For those that are curious to wonder how this works it's a simple 2 step process.

Step 1 is using the provided scuff pad and the provide cleaner to scuff and clean the light.
Step 2 is spraying on the UV protection.

It's as simple as that.

I'll let the photos speak from themselves that I took of the final results from Mike Pennington demoing this. The entire headlight had a uniform haze.

Rather than wait for us to introduce the UV coating as a stand alone product, think about this:

You've already got all the necessary materials to do a full sanding job on the nastiest of headlights, right? If you need to you can sand from the most aggressive grit needed, all the way down to 320 if that's what it takes, and then progressively work up to 3000 grit to really refine the surface. But at that point, what do you do, right? Just head down to your local auto parts store and pick up this kit for $20. Set aside the scuff pad and liquid and just use the UV coating right over your 3000 grit sanding marks. No buffing first, just spray. Done. And that $20 will do 4 headlights, easy. If you're covering a nice, clean 3000 grit finish it might do even more. And you'll have the comfort of knowing you're get ASTM Certified UV protection for at least 12 months. Hang on to the scuff pads and liquids..... if that customer calls you a year, or 18 months, or whatever time frame later and just needs a touch up, you can quickly scuff and spray and you're done.

Just a thought.

Re: Perfect Clarity Headlight Restoration Kit

can you use the UV spray on brand new headlights to enhance uv protection? Or it will not grip; and you have to scuff it up first?

I saw a video where it states the product will only adhere when it is scuffed up.

Re: Perfect Clarity Headlight Restoration Kit

The surface really should be scuffed in order for the spray to take hold, and you really don't want to be doing that to brand new lenses. For brand new headlights, you're better off doing nothing more than waxing them on a regular basis.

Re: Perfect Clarity Headlight Restoration Kit

So not even headlight protectant?

I currently use nxt 2.0.

Re: Perfect Clarity Headlight Restoration Kit

You can use headlight protectant. I believe it's recommended to apply every 6-8 weeks. Is this for your personal car or others?

my personal car i've had for 7 years and i never needed any correction done. I waxed it maybe once in its lifetime.

However, if I were to get a new car I think I'll actively try and preserve the stock UV coating.

Re: Perfect Clarity Headlight Restoration Kit

The headlight protectant will work just fine. I use it on any lights to keep some protection on them. I do 2 coats the second coat being for even coverage. Apply regularly and you will be good.

Re: Perfect Clarity Headlight Restoration Kit

Headlight Protectant would be great. But you've gone 7 years on your current car with no need for correction on the lenses? I don't think I'd worry too much when it comes time to get a new car. You're obviously doing something very right.

Re: Perfect Clarity Headlight Restoration Kit

Are there any additional optional steps an enthusiast can do to enhance the restoration level? I was originally planning on wet sanding and then finishing up with an orbital with ultimate compound. Would the UV coating no longer stick if it was polished to that level?

From what I recall from the 2015 product TNOG class. You can still wet sand but once you get to your last step for example 3000 grit, then just follow up with the coating. It needs a scuffed surface for it to bond to.

So 3000 then rinse with water and dry?
