I've had my car for less than 2 weeks am and in that mode of seeking out all the things I can spend my time doing to it.
One of those things is putting a protectorant on the headlights so as to delay the degredation of the plastic, while not harming the existing UV protection.
I see lots of brands out there, and when I read the reviews of folks who have used the product for some period of time, I find nothing that really seems to be worth the time and money. And lots of the sealants are meant for use after polishing out the haze from aged lenses, not for protecting new ones.
Weathertech makes a film you apply as you would a cellphone screen protector, where you use soapy water and squeegee out the bubbles. That looks like reasonable physical protection, but not necessarily something that would delay the hazing effects of the sun.
Heck, one guy even applied clear spray-on Plasti Dip! That was an interesting video....
Is this something I should even bother with at this point?
Does anyone have any product recommendations?
