So, I just used the 3M kit on my headlights, with the final step being the wipe-on clear coat.

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, I just used the 3M kit on my headlights, with the final step being the wipe-on clear coat. I will soon be waxing (using a sealant, like Zaino brothers or equivalent) the car. Can I use the sealant on the head lights? Is it recommended to do so?

POST 2Original post

The previous owner of my 996 had the headlight enclosures buffed and treated with a UV coating. I've heard mixed reviews if this extra step really works or not to prolong the clearness of the lenses. In theory, plastic is plastic and when exposed to the sun, it will age regardless what is sprayed on it. Yellowing from oxidation is one byproduct. Brittleness that results in cracks is another. In many cases, the only way to get it to "look like new" is to replacement them with new enclosures.

Expel is the way to go! https://www.lamin-x.com/automobile-p...adlight%20Film

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Maybe I should rephrase my question...is there any harm in putting zaino on the 3M clear coat?

POST 5Original post

Quotes source post: 15952137

No, should be able to put any wax or sealant on it

POST 6Original post

I put xpel on AND I wax them. 3 years on they still look great.

POST 7Original post

Quotes source post: 15952422

Yes, I am at the one year mark with laminx and a wax, looks great so far.

POST 8Original post

Another vote for Expel! 3 years now and my lenses look new.

POST 9Original post

Per Uncle Billy (800Bill) and "Southern man", Expel overlays are the answer. I applied them 9 years ago, and now, still no yellowing or cracking. relinuca

POST 10Original post

When you guys say xpel im assuming the film? So you polished with a kit - 3M for example - then just applied the xpel film?
