Aashenfox Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 So I'm almost ready to start fitting my new depo facelift headlights, but I also want to protect the external surface of them from UV misting and scratches, was thinking stick on solutions, anyone have any recommendations? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Can you not get a bodyshop to add another layer of clear coat to them? Thats what I did when I had mine refurbished because of yellowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aashenfox Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 I was thinking about that, but it's totally permanent and has the potential to go wrong/not look perfect (or am I being paranoid), hence my initial interest in stick on solutions.

Olly350z Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Well mine turned out great, only cost me £50 to have them and I can honestly say they came out better then factory. Id say theres a small amount of paranoia there although its justified. Maybe im paranoid but I wouldnt like stickting things to my nice new headlights lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aashenfox Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 Well, the car is going for paint next week-ish, so it would be easy to get them done. I'll definitely think about it. Thanks Olly In the meantime, anyone had any success with stick on products? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aashenfox Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 On brand new, or restored headlights? All the comments seem to be relating to restoration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Lightly restored, I don't get what the difference is ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aashenfox Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 I can't enlighten you, I don't know if there's any difference either, but not knowing brings fear, and fear is the path to the dark side... I'm just paranoid. I appreciate the suggestion, honestly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Speak to Ricey at Revolve. It's one of the services he offers here in UK so I'm sure he could recommend a suitable product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 For top notch sealants I tend to try something from gtechniq or gyeon, they do excellent sealants. http://gtechniq.com/products/auto/ http://gyeonquartz.com/q2-collection/#product-collection Look out for any well reviewed marine products, as obviously they take a hell of a beating being exposed all day.

davey_83 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I'd go clear wrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd go clear wrap I wasn't aware there was a clear wrap, does it protect from UV? How 'clear' is it? 3M I guess? The reason I like this idea so much from the start is cos I have experience wrapping and read so many horror stories about products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
