New headlight protection

[kitt1987]

Hey everyone, I'm fairly new on here and currently stocking up on my Adam's products for post-winter and I have a question or two on headlight protection and just want to be sure I do it correctly without messing anything up.

I just purchased a 2013 Acura TSX and understand that I'll be claying the headlight and tail light lenses.  My question comes in, what is the next step exactly that I want to take, I read varying stories here on the forums.  Do I want to follow up with polish (if so will the Revive Hand Car polish work?) and then sealant?  If so, do I want to use the Quick Sealant spray or will the liquid paint sealant work?  I heard or read somewhere I thought that I could even finish off with the buttery wax but am unsure.  In any case, any and all assistance as well as advice is greatly appreciated as I hope to keep the headlights looking as good as possible for as long as possible.

 

Thanks!

If it were me I would use QS!.......Quick and durable.

Quicj sealant or LPS for sure on new lenses

I've used liquid paint sealant on my lenses, topped with brilliant glaze for more pop.

Thanks everyone, so either sealant will work as well as the revive polish then with no ill effects?

nope, you are good to go

Are the lenses cloudy at all? Revive could take some cloudiness out but if they are heavily oxidized you may need to get more aggressive with the cleaning ie a headlight resto kit with sand paper. And I agree with the Quick Sealant as the best for protection. Very easy to use and outstanding longevity.

Oh and killer profile pic, best movie ever!

Ha ha, thanks Junior.  No my car is new and the headlights are "perfect" for right now.  I'm just looking into getting the best protection on the plastic lenses to prevent the cloudiness for as long as possible.

You bet. And just to add to what was previously stated, the QS is supposed to be optically clear so I think that is a big reason it will be your best option in addition to the other great things about QS. Some other LSPs may haze over time or slightly affect clarity of a lens plastic finish. At least in my experience.

That's exactly what I'm going to order today is the Quick Sealant (among a few more items to add to my arsenal) specifically for the head and tail lights as well as under hood and door sills.  Now if only we can get rid of all this snow and warm the temps up a few degrees so I can finally try this stuff out!

I hear you on that. Although we dont have snow here, it has been very cold. I did a rinseless wash last weekend and it wasnt too bad. Got some new goodies I am looking forward to using when the temps go up and the time changes.
