These protectant films is good for new headlights that are not already damaged. Keep in mind many of our cars are 10 years old.
3M Head light Restoration Kit

"The 3M Headlight Restoration System is a fast and effective DIY solution for hazed or discoloured automotive headlights. The drill mounted system is fast and easy to use and much less costl...(more)"

"Many modern vehicles utilise plastic headlamp lenses, and while being cheaper to manufacture they still suffer from deterioration through road debris and UV damage through lack of maintenance.

This can lead to a yellowed, hazy, frosted, scratched and aged look to the lens, and more importantly it can lead to poor lighting performance, especially in inclement weather conditions.

Our 3Mİ polishing and restoration kits include sanding pads, finishing pads, buffer and finishing polish to restore two large headlights. You may require two kits if your headlights are badly damaged. Just add a household drill, a water spray and a microfibre cloth to restore your faded and damaged plastic headlights to an 'as new' appearance.

Ideal for use before applying any of our light protection films whether clear or tinted."

I used this today. It did finally get through the UV layer but one kit only did one lense effectively. It made a nice, polished finish but mine has some yellowing that apparently is on the inside. Litronics with clear signals. $950 per side!!!!!

I can't believe I can't buy the shell.
