Using Meguiar's G17804 Keep Clear Headlight Coating
When using any of our headlight restoration products be sure to read & follow the directions on the product packaging, and use this article for a reference.
If you have new lights or are using a different method to restore them, Meguiar's G17804 Keep Clear Headlight Coating can be used to protect them, and provides protection for 1 year(*Lab tested per ASTM G154-12a).
For the pictures below we used Keep Clear Headlight Coating on our company 2017 Ford Transit 150.
It is recommended for best results to apply in the shade to a cool surface. Next, use a glass cleaner like Meguiar's Perfect Clarity Glass Cleaner to thoroughly clean any dirt & grime from the headlights.
Here are the BEFORE pictures of the lights.
Since the product is an aerosol application, it is recommended to protect the surrounding surfaces of the headlight to prevent over-spray. If any over-spray were to get on a surrounding surface, it is recommended to wipe off immediately, since it can become stubborn to remove if left to dry.
Although not an automotive specific product, 3M's ScotchBlue Pre-taped painters plastic works well for protecting surrounding surfaces.
Headlight is completely clean & dry, surrounding surfaces are protected, and we are in the shade with a cool surface. We are now ready to apply the Keep Clear Headlight Coating. It is recommended to apply 2 medium wet coats to the entire headlight, overlapping your passes by 50%. Let the first coat dry for 3 - 5 minutes, and then follow with a second medium wet coat to completely seal the headlight lens. The coating dries in 3 - 5 minutes and will be fully cured in 24 hours.
Below are some AFTER pictures of both headlight lenses completely sealed & protected. If you look, the below after pictures don't look all that different from the before! Meguiar's R&D Team has done a great job in getting the coating to completely self level.
