Please don't tell me to use the 3M headlight restoration kit because I've used it and it works great for about 3 weeks then it starts to fade again.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So looking around online a new headlight assembly is very expensive-even the halogen kits are 800 a piece. All I am looking for is the clear lens cover because mine are very faded. Please don't tell me to use the 3M headlight restoration kit because I've used it and it works great for about 3 weeks then it starts to fade again. Can anyone help me find a reasonably priced clear lens cover for the headlights on a 2000 Carerra 996? Any help is much appreciated, thanks

POST 2Original post

After you use the headlight kit you have use polishing compound and wax or polish on a regular basis. It has kept my headlights crystal clear for a year since I did the sanding and polishing.

Headlamp Lens Sealant? - Auto Geek Online Auto Detailing Forum "So when it comes to your plastic headlights, doing something will probably be better than doing nothing at all. In the Diamondite line there is a product specifically formulated to protect clear plastics called Diamondite® Clear Plastic Liquid Armor. While it's best to match the right product to the surface being treated, at the same time something is better than nothing. Besides that, just that act of applying and working a liquid over the surface will help to keep it clean and smooth and this by itself will tend to maintain and preserve the surface versus doing nothing at all. Diamondite® Clear Plastic Liquid Armor. Diamondite Clear Plastic Liquid Armor is a polymer sealant designed specifically to seal the pores of plastic and protect it from water, pollution, and the sun. Clear plastic headlights, vinyl windows, windscreens, and more will remain clean, clear, and protected. UV exposure is the number one cause of plastic deterioration on automobiles. The sun gradually dries out the plastic and causes it to cloud from the outside, in. Once the damage is done, polishing the plastic is the only way to restore it. But, you can prevent UV damage with Diamondite Clear Plastic Liquid Armor, a sophisticated blend of polymers that provides vital protection from the sun. You wear sunglasses to protect your eyes; protect your headlights in the same way. Diamondite Clear Plastic Liquid Armor is a water-based polymer sealant designed specifically for clear plastic. Polymers fill in the microscopic grooves and pores of the plastic to completely block out moisture, dirt, and UV radiation. Clear Plastic Liquid Armor contains the strongest UV shield available in a plastic protectant..."
