    The bottom line here is that both Scotty and Chris try really hard to help viewers with their cars, to the best of their knowledge anyway. It seems like Chis saw success with his method then immediately posted his video, as if he was under the impression that it was permanent.

    Used the Meguiar’s Restoration kit yesterday on my 2006 Corolla with very hazy lenses and though I had to use a little extra elbow grease (the compound on a drill mounted pad), combined with three coats of the UV clear coat spray, has transformed the lenses into good as new. Follow directions, tape off the area around the lens for overspray and it is super easy! Thanks for the tip!

    I've tried several different ways to protect my lights. Living in upstate NY, and driving through winter, there isn't much you can do to save the lenses from road salt, sand, gravel, etc. The best solution I've found, was Lamin-X film. I have a pair of Hella 500FF fog lights on my push bar. After getting pelted with everything winter can throw at it, even the film wipes off clean, and looks great, not to mention the lenses they are protecting. If you have to drive in bad weather, or off road, I can't say enough about how well this film works.

      Chris is method works too, just make sure to do it the right way. Scotty presented an preventive method as a best solution. Both methods require timely maintenance nonetheless. However, I wonder why my vehicles have never had faded headlights. I owned an BMW 118i 2006 and currently own an Toyota Auris Hybrid 2013. Both always had crystal clear headlights. I simply wash my car regularly, about once a month. If it gets dirty unexpectedly, I wash the dirty spot away by hand.

It had started to get hazy again a year later. I like the method you used here (wish I seen this one sooner). Anyway, can I do this now over what I did a year ago? Do I need to take off the spray that the kit had me end the restoration with? I'd love to try this but I want to make sure I do it correctly.
