Reddit reviews Blue Magic 730-6 Headlight Lens Sealer - 8 oz.

Total cost: $31.70

Time: ~30 minutes.
Tools required: Hand drill

Now that it gets dark so damn early, I've been using my headlights a lot more, and I noticed that they weren't as bright as they used to be. So, on the advice of a coworker, I picked up THIS headlight restoration kit from amazon, as well as THIS sealer and THIS masking tape (to protect the paint around the lens). The directions were clear and concise and the whole process took about 30 minutes and was extremely easy. It comes with an attachment for your hand drill to which a variety of sanding/buffing discs mount. You start with a coarse grit sandpaper disc to remove the oxidation and then you use progressively finer grit discs to smooth out the surface. Finally you buff and seal the lens.

I couldn't be happier with the results. The lenses look brand new and there are enough sanding discs left over to do at least one or two more cars.

In my experience, it lasts at least a year.
This sealer made it last an additional year, but it still yellowed again.

Jesus, you went balls out. I was just going to use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Magic-730-6-Headlight-Sealer/dp/B0051PJWQW

At this point i fucked up one of my headlights and like melted it sanding it with a disc that came in a restore kit. I donno wtf happened, but there are like burn marks in the drivers side. So it needs replaced anyways.

I use this stuff. Found it on Amazon looking for something to use after I buffed the headlights on my Mom's older Oldsmobile. They were 20 years old at the time and completely hazed over but they came out looking brand new. It worked so well that I use it on every vehicle I detail now.

A little goes a long way and it's important to make sure it's not going to rain for awhile because it can take 3-4 days to fully cure but if you do it right then it will last 6-8 months. I put it on Mom's headlights in the spring and winter and they still look new nearly 3 years after I started using the Blue Magic on them. I'm still on the same bottle too. Just an all around great product.

Headlight Sealer

I've been using Blue Magic as a sealant with some success after polishing headlights.

Whatever method you use (toothpaste, wet sanding, rubbing compound, etc) make sure you seal the surface with some UV blocker and keep it sealed, otherwise it will just yellow again.

Here's what I apply a few times a year to previously cleared up headlights: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Magic-730-6-Headlight-Sealer/dp/B0051PJWQW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487098859&sr=8-1&keywords=headlight+sealer

I'll apply wax, let it dry, buff out by hand then a quick pass with this stuff.

Every now and then or whenever I feel like the shine has dulled down a bit I'll go over the bare headlight with some Plastx before applying the wax and sealant and I'm good as new again.
