Headlight restoration kits require use of a sealant after polishing. Does this product provide that seal?

This product is used to remove scratches, oxidation and restore clarity. It does not contain a sealant. It is recommended to apply a sealant or uv coating after using on headlights to prevent them from yellowing or oxidizing again.

No. I used it on my headlights and noticed a visible improvement in lens clarity. Hope this answer helps.

This product does offer some sealer but for best results and customer satisfaction, I use Meguiars headlight protection product, G17104 because of the UV protection and sealing. Restoring headlights is a business for me and I do many different lights in all types of condition, my best advice is , clean, clean, clean the lenses before you start. It is like painting, the surface you start with depends on the final result. I hope this helps...

Yes! Recommended by 3M. 3M's Headlight Restoration kit, 39165, which literally brought my hazed headlights back to like new (seriously virtually NEW!!!!) on my 2005 Acura TL had a small amount included in this kit for use after the restoration. The kit's instructions further recommends periodic application to maintain your lens.

I did....no issues. You must remove this sealant quickly or it is difficult to remove.

Yes, but instead of elbow grease use a hand drill to renovate the surface with the kit materials unless you like the exercise. My 22 year old pickup had more issues with surface damage to the headlights than yellowing. Johnny

This is a synthetic polymer (no carnuba wax in it) spray wax/sealant, that is a very good product for any color vehicle, and very easy to use. I would also recommend Meguiars DA finishing wax. Although intended for use with a Dual Action (DA) polisher, it works great by hand as we'll. It contains polymers plus carnuba, plus silicones and is my favorite "wax" of the vehicle's paint is in good condition to start with. If not, you will need to use a polish first.

I don't think it would work, cuz rubbing compound is designed for paint scratch. Search for NOVUS 2 Plastic Fine Scratch Remover, it works great for polishing headlights. I can vouch for that.

Honestly, its not either. It's a synthetic paint sealant. Polishes have a very mild cutting agent for minor scratches and oils which help condition the paint. Waxes just protect paint and give it a pop shine, but wax doesn't last as long as nu finish.

Yes, there are four stages of polishing. First three involve ever-finer sandpaper. The fourth involves a cream polish. I have a Honda Odyssey, with huge plastic headlights, and the process took me 45 minutes. Here is a video explaining the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvdiiXfvkD8

That's what I used too - works perfect. Just be careful not to scratch the paint around the headlight.

No, if the vehicle is clean all you need is Klasse sealant. It says good for 12 months but I use it every week.

The short answer is NO!!!! This requires a special chemical to remove the haze on headlight lenses...

Don't have the experience to support a definite answer for that situation. I added a smear to my exhaust gaskets to help seal better but a head gasket may blow this stuff out! I would try buying gasket material that is equivalent to the old one and make it yourself by tracing and cutting. This stuff should not be used to seal head gaskets! Just my opinion from my experience & mechanical knowledge. Won't work, don't do it!

I would suggest a cleaner/wax. Sealers will seal any contaminants in; for this reason, you should always clean the paint as well as possible prior to application.

Yes. However I would look into getting some sealant. Of course with packaging and such one of mine let moisture in but it is fixed now. I like them a lot. I would also recommend Xenon lights because Halos don't look as good.

The only limiting factor is the buffing compound and wax. The sanding pads can be used multiple times. Just make sure to wipe the lens often and dust off the pad. I used one of each sanding pad per lens and my headlights were very badly discolored and the UV protectant was flaking.I used this kit on an '01 Dodge Ram and I figure I could do at the least 3-4 pairs of lights of the same or similar size.

I didn't use on my headlights, but it worked wonders on other items. I used the cleaner first then the polish. Hope someone else answers for you re: the headlights.

Yes, you must use the Kool Seal primer first and then coat with the Kool Seal product.
