If you're going to use a rattle can, you definitely want to use the ones that say "for professional use only", and " respitatory mask is required or mandatory".

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.

So my headlights have yellowed over for the second time. I am in the process of sanding and polishing.
Is their anything you guys have done, with success, to keep this from happening so frequently??
Thanks,
John
I put the expel cover film on my '04 several years ago. Has held up very well. I have also done the Helmsman spar urethane treatment on other headlights with good results. Most importantly, once you've restored the lenses, you have to apply something immediately to block the UV or the yellowing will return quickly.
Well, I've coated a few headlights now. First one, I took to a body shop to have them clear coat it with ppg clear. Second one I cleared myself with Spraymax 2k IIRC. If you're going to use a rattle can, you definitely want to use the ones that say "for professional use only", and " respitatory mask is required or mandatory". This is the good stuff that lasts and goes on thick like a professional spray gun.
I put Lamin-X on mine after polishing. It's only been 6 months but they are still crystal clear. Seems like a nice bonus to have the surface protection as well.
Hey Guys... gotta question on this topic. My front light assemblies on my '03 Cab look brand new, but while I was cleaning and working on one of them (had to re-aim the HID lens because it was shooting too high), I noticed what looked to be a clear plastic covering over each one. Like a clear vinyl wrap sort of thing. Is this factory installed or was this added after market?
I installed Lamin-X covers on mine two years ago after sanding and polishing. They still look as good as when I installed. I tried clearcoating myself first but gave up trying to get a perfect finish.
ECS Tuning has the Lamin-X covers for about $60. They take a bit of patience to install and the fit wasn't perfect (ie the holes for the headlight washers were larger than I would have liked) but otherwise I'm very happy with them.
