CERAKOTE® Ceramic Headlight Restoration Kit

The best product I have ever used. I bought it based on reviews here and YouTube.

Good instructions, easy to use and great results. After clearing my headlights, my car looks brand new again.

Not sure about longevity since I just recently installed, but these cleaned up nicely! Once ceramic coating dries the headlight lense feels slippery even. The coat is thick on there and Im excited to see how long it lasts. Have used other basic kits in the past where I wet sand and put on a UV protectant, which doesnt last very long. This is first time trying ceramic. My vehicle is a 2003 Ford Taurus and these headlights are original. I mention that because although currently clear, there are still some scratches or microscopic looking cracks in the plastic that are either embedded or are on the inside of the housing, likely from UV exposure (live in Florida). This is to be expected since theyre 17 years old...point being dont expect this kit to make your headlights brand new, especially if theyre at least 10-15 years old. Clarity wise however - follow the directions, be patient, be gentle on the sandpaper, and this will make them the closest to new that they can be without replacing. You dont have to take headlight off the car by the way; just found it easier to work on and apply coating. Product suggestion - have used CERAKOTEs Trim-kote on bare plastic trim after cleaning throughly with alcohol - highly recommend. Great company, relatively cheap, and seems to make quality products all around.

Step one worked great. Step 2 with the sanding left the light hazy and when I applied the coating on step 3 it showed scratch lines on the light even though the light was sufficiently wet when sanding. Very disappointed

This product is outstanding. Time will ultimately tell but I am hopeful.. I followed the directions to a T. They give you 6 wipes, 3 for each headlight, but I used the first wipe on one headlight and then got extra use by starting the second headlight. The second package I started on the second headlight and went on to the first headlight, so I wiped each headlight 6 times, 3 each with a fresh wipe.. This removes all the oxidation and by the last wipe they were nowhere near as dirty as when first started. I let it sit out in the sun after washing because they say it has to be perfectly dry, NO risks of water leaking past surrounding area onto headlight. HOWEVER I strongly suggest NOT applying the final stage in direct sun. I pointed the car into the shade and let the headlight cool somewhat. They were hot from the sun and I felt the added heat would be a challenge applying the nest step. You have to wipe this wipe on in one direction and slightly overlap but one wipe thats it.. This is why I wanted the headlights in the shade because you don't want it drying too fast. Overall I am very pleased with how clear they are. Now I have used some of these other products, big name great reviews but they fail in months. Been 2 months now and so far as good as new.. Will follow up in months to come. Something about this product seems different. Will see if it actually bonds to the plastic but I am hopeful after reading the technology behind this product.. I gave it 4 stars on easy of use because how careful you need to be wiping on the final wipe not to mess up as its a once shot deal...

The product did take some time to get through the application process, but it was not difficult to apply, just time consuming. For the price I expected better results. I really took my time to do each process well, but to say the results should look like new is a big stretch. After the last coat of ceramic they had smudge marks yet. They are better, but really just 3 stars.
