UV resistant sealants

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I'm looking for some sort of UV inhibiter to seal up headlights after a refurb.

I found this on eBay but I know absolutely zero about these products.

Has anyone else used anything similar?

Ideally you want something like Dlux or similar.

3m do the uv spray to restore headlamps.

Zaino Z2 was built around UV damage.

The eBay things sounds ideal. Is it real. Will it work. Wouldn't know without testing.

Chemical Guys Jetseal might work, can use that stuff on anything!

Website seems legit. http://www.glasspolishshop.com/surface-sealant-easy-clean-coating-water-repellent?search=Coating

I think I might take a punt and do a test.

As said capro DLUX or gtechniq c4 will give long term resistance to road abrasion and uv protection. Can also be used on plastic trims and wheels.

Know nothing of the ebay item but would want to see some independent reviews.

Iirc the new meguiars headlight kit comes with a uv blocker but I've not looked into it

Cheers Dave.

The eBay item comes from a glass restoration specialist company so it's possible it could be decent. They're website appears legit.

I'm going to get some and give it a try.

I would go with a ceramic nano coating such as cquartz and dlux

The ebay one is the one I used on mine when I cleaned my headlights a few weeks back. Can't really comment on it as only time will tell if it properly works!

i have a bottle of this for when i did my headlights a while back, its decent in my opinion, keeps them cleaned up well, just doesn't smell the greatest

How long ago did you do them Joe?

It's a shame 'Ronseal' is already trademarked.

You'd have had the market cornered if you invented something.

Dlux, do everything you can on the car to get the most out of it, decent product.
