3 M CLEAR COAT FOR HEADLIGHTS

[whizbyu]

Looking at stuff for my car. Saw this:
https://www.amazon.com/3M-Quick-Hea...=1574792778&s=automotive&sr=1-14

Does anyone know what this material is?

It looks identical to Meguiar's Keep Clear spray. I have a can of that ready for my headlights. It seems like an acrylic or 1K polyurethane product to me.

Looks promising, I've used something similar that worked initially but caused more hidden damage.

I've used this stuff with great results. I doubt you can go wrong with either

Still looks good 9 months later

I've used the 3M stuff on every headlight that I restore and it adds even more clarity than just the restoration alone. Not sure of longevity as I don't keep the car long enough to know, but for $3-$4 it's worth it.

I would consider the protection film over this. It's a little more expensive but should last longer. The film provides UV protection and better protection from small stones, sand etc.

Excellent

If you want something that is going to last for years your final coat needs to be a 2K clear.

I paid $50 for a quart of 2k clear and probably only used 2 or 3 ounces of the product. It was worth it.

How about using both the clear coat AND paint protection over that?

I don't think you would gain much doing that.
