Ultimate Polish can be used by Hand or Dual Action Polisher to remove light swirls & enhance clarity on headlights or taillights. It would be recommended to follow up with a coat of wax or some type of protectant after use to provide protection to the factory coating on the headlights.

You can use car polish on headlights, especially if they are cloudy or yellowed. Polishing can help remove oxidation and improve clarity. Just make sure to use a polish that is safe for plastic surfaces and follow up with a sealant or UV protectant to help prevent future damage. If the headlights are very worn, you might want to consider a dedicated headlight restoration kit for the best results.

Clean Your Headlights the Right Way

Catching this early is ideal: if headlight lenses are only slightly hazy, a simple headlight cleaner may be enough to remove dirt and grime from the headlight surface.

For more severe cases, however, you may need to take a more in-depth approach.

Try to mask off the area around the headlight using painter’s tape and then use an automotive wax or headlight polish to further clean the headlight lens. If headlight lenses are heavily oxidized, like on older vehicles, an automotive headlight cleaner may be needed to restore headlight clarity.

Often, we tend to brush it off because headlight restoration kits can be expensive. But it’s worth the investment because they usually include all the necessary abrasive materials (such as sandpaper) and headlight sealant to make sure that the headlight lenses stay clear for a long time.

Apply a Headlight Sealant for Some Extra Insurance

Headlight sealant is something you’ll be grateful for after the process is over. It ensures that you will not have to go through headlight restoration again for a long time. Headlight sealant is applied to headlight lenses after they have been sanded and polished, creating a protective barrier that prevents headlight lenses from becoming cloudy again.

Because the only clouds you want are the ones in the sky.
