Post subject:  Protectiing Headlights
There are many products on the market to protect headlights from pitting. I've even heard of some people waxing them.

Are any of you guys protecting / sealing your lights? If so, which products are you using?

I'm just trying to save some money and work in the future.

I wax my headlights everytime I wax my Jeep.

Never heard of anyone having problems with pitting on the kj lights.

My aunt bought a Honda CR-V and Honda installed some clear “sticker” for a lack of a better work over the headlights and hood. So I’m sure there is something out their.

They make a clear vinyl that you can put on the hood... I wonder if the heat from the headlight bulbs would cause the vinyl to fade at all and reduce your visibility?

My lights are dinged up a little bit, but not a whole heck of a lot.

I use Rain-X. Whenever I do my windows and mirrors I just give the lights (headlights, foglights and PIAAs) a treatment too. Seems to work fine.

I use very thick clear "pads" that I bought on eBay specifically for that purpose. They've been on there almost since my Jeep was new and they haven't had a single issue. No yellowing, no discoloration, no bubbling. I don't worry about my headlights at all. I would highly recommend these!

I use Mother's Plastic Polish on my headlights. I do this to avoid getting cataracts on my headlights. Works well for me. You can use any auto wax, or polish as well.

You will be surprised of the grit that is removed when applying the plastic polish. Apply to your fog lights, taillights, etc.

Your lights will look brand new.

Hope this helps.
