Clouded headlights generate only 20% of the amount of light that new headlights do, leading to dangerous nighttime driving, which is when 50% of car accidents occur. Considering headlights can become clouded from a number of different causes such as sunlight, pollution, or car-wash chemicals, making sure you have a trusted way to restore headlights is crucial to maintain safe driving.
Wurth USA offers a solution for headlight restoration can be completed in five easy steps in less than five minutes!
1. Place painters masking tape and portable auto mask around the perimeters of the headlight to protect the car paint and chrome from the sanding process and sealant overspray.
2. Take a 600 grit adhesive-backed sanding square and adhere to the flat side of a sanding block. Wet down the headlight and begin sanding to remove any damaged laminate.
3. Rinse off all residue then take a lint-free towel and dry the lens surface and surrounding areas of the headlight.
4. Begin applying the sealant on the outer edge of the lens, moving from side to side.
5. Use a Scrangrip Portable UV Curing Light to cure the sealant. Apply Curing Light for 2-4 minutes per headlight.
This lab-tested process will quickly remove corrosion and haze, improve visibility and light output, and restore a headlight to its original shine and luster in minutes.
