Default Plastic headlights.

I've been using Mothers polish to keep my headlights from hazing over.....once a month, sometimes every other week. It gets old. :lol: Is there a better product to use or something to apply after polish that will make them stay crystal clear longer?

Thank you.

Sand with 2k grit sand paper, have a shop shoot automotive clear on them. They'll look brand new and last for years to come.

Yep, you need to shoot a quality UV-resistant catalyzed clear on them.

Not sure how it will work on older headlights, but this stuff is supposedly the jam:

I just wax it like once a month after polishing it... 2k grit is way to fine for clear to adhere, 800 grit max
