Wow, SO Worth It.
Wow--this stuff is basically magic. Some people say they bought sand paper to go with this. Don't do that. At least to start. First just use this normally and see what it does for you. Here are some thoughts:
DEFINITELY TAPE. Don't skip the step of masking taping up around your headlights. It doesn't take that long. Use masking tape, painters tape, that kind of tape.
DO IT IN THE SHADE. Definitely do this project in the shade. The reason is that it is so much easier to see if you need to clean the lights more before you spray the coating. In the sun, it will look cleaner than it will in the shade. It's not the end of the world if you do this in the sun, though. I did for most of the process and it looks awesome.
YOU NEED TOWELS. I used two full size towels doing this. You're using the towels for buffing off the cleaning solution and for drying after you clean the light. You need separate towels for those two things.
SCRUB HARD. Put some elbow grease into it when you're doing the Cleaning step.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT PERFECT. Great news--you can do the Cleaning step over and over until you think you got it all clean. When you finish applying the cleaning solution and it dries, buff it off with a dry towel. If you still see darker spots, clean those spots more.
HAZY IS CORRECT AND WEIRD. The weirdest thing about using this stuff is that after you've cleaned the light, it will not look clean. It looks hazy and sort of like it has condensation on it. This is the way it is supposed to look. You'll see. After you buff off the dry cleaning solution, you'll see that the light looks clean but hazy. That's exactly what you want. The next step is magic so get ready.
SPRAYING THE COATING IS MAGIC. The best step is spraying the coating on the clean dry light and it magically turns clear and incredible looking. So satisfying.
