Modern cars come equipped with plastic headlight assemblies that are prone to yellowing, fading, and cracking over time. These issues not only affect the appearance of your car but also reduce the effectiveness of the headlights, making it difficult to see while driving at night.
Replacing plastic headlight assemblies can be expensive, but there’s a simple and cost-effective solution to prevent plastic headlights from degrading – Meguiar’s headlight coating.
Why Plastic Headlights Fade and Crack
Plastic headlights fade and crack due to exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays, oxidation, and debris. Over time, these factors cause the plastic to break down, resulting in a yellowed and hazy appearance. Additionally, the headlights’ effectiveness decreases, making it difficult to see while driving at night.
Traditional Solutions and Their Pitfalls
Many have attempted to address fading headlights using various kits that promise restoration through polishing and clear coating. However, these solutions often provide only a temporary fix. Polishing can even lead to unintended consequences, such as small cracks in the plastic, making the problem worse and potentially requiring expensive replacements.
What Makes Meguiar’s Truly Unique
Meguiar’s headlight coating is a protective barrier that prevents plastic headlights from fading and cracking. It creates a clear and glossy finish that maintains the headlights’ clarity and effectiveness. The coating is easy to apply and lasts for up to a year, making it a cost-effective solution for maintaining plastic headlights.
