can i use it on headlights? Will it protect from hazing the lights over time?

Yes! Recommended by 3M. 3M's Headlight Restoration kit, 39165, which literally brought my hazed headlights back to like new (seriously virtually NEW!!!!) on my 2005 Acura TL had a small amount included in this kit for use after the restoration. The kit's instructions further recommends periodic application to maintain your lens.

I used it on my new car headlights no problem; also used a "restore headlight" kit from seen on tv or "renew" not sure of brand but you use various grades of sand paper & using gloves apply a ketone :sweet smelling liquid which clearifies the clear plastic of the light- You have to be sure its dry - no water and no oil so wash well let dry well and cover for overnight setting( BUT SURE YOU TENT UP THE COVER SO IT DOES NOT TOUCH THE HEADLIGHT I USED NEWSPAPER DO NOT USE PLASTIC!!!. I then used the 3M 39030 as a sealer because the directions call for you to apply a wax to seal after you are done. It works - gets rid of you "headlight cataracts" anyway. Last for "a lifetime" of about one year then have to repeat. Did this on my '99 Camry; 04 Camry & 08 Prius. Hope this helps.

This is a wax, not a compound cleaner.I would think that this would not protect from headlights hazing.

Yes. but it doesn't seem to protect the headlights from hazing. I've been using it on my headlights for 4 years and I am starting to notice a small patch of hazing. I used some toothpaste to get it and then used this product. Initially I bought this product because it was recommended by the manufacturer of the plastic invisible armour that I have on part of the hood and bumper of my car. I love how easy this product is to use and how nice my car looks after its waxed.

I beleive so and have always used other waxes and this one and have never had any issues with my headlights clouding or yellowing. The headlights have always stayed new lookign with every wax I have used and expect this to be the same with the 3M. Excellent protection it seems and superior beading with this wax!

it depends on your application. i would for sure suggest it though. it'll take the load off your headlight switch.

Hi,It is fine for street use purposes. It will not effect the color of your headlights as much. JohnnyiJDMTOY.

This flasher is not meant for headlights. Only LEDs. You can get headlight flashers from sho me.

Since the primary intent of the product involves "wet sanding", it would be to your advantage to keep the headlights out of direct sunlight while your doing it, but doing it specifically indoors isn't necessary in my experience. The last time I used it, I pulled my car close to the open garage to provide shade, but to still allow some wind to keep me cool during the work and to aid in the drying process. FYI - the results were fantastic and I hoping to get some longer lasting results by using an automotive plastics treatment every 6 months or so since other reviews have indicated the results may not be the "lifetime" promised by the Manufacturer. In any case, my headlight look much better than before, and the kit was relatively easy to use. Good luck.

I wouldn't attempt to use this on glass. As others have mentioned; it is solely designed to be used on headlights which are made of plastic. So in that regard... if you are trying to buff something plastic, then go ahead; if glass, I would avoid it.

Definitely should mask around the headlight. Maybe if you are extremely careful, you wouldn't need to, but it's not worth the risk. Using a high speed drill with the sanding attachment means that even slight movements could end up sanding your paint. Regular painter's tape would probably work, but it comes with the tape, so there is no need to worry about it.

Personally, I wouldn't use it on *anything,* as my review indicates. I did put it on my headlights, but like everywhere else, it was cloudy and looked lousy. Can't say how it holds up, because I scraped it off bit by bit.

I have not had one problem with my headlights,but,I ordered two brand new replacements from AMazon a year ago.Annette B. doesn't say if they are new or older ones she is inquiring about.I have spoken to one other person who had the same problem,but with older headlight assembly's and she sprayed an adhesive in a can she got at a hardware store on the backside of the assembly and she hasn't had any further problems with her bulbs shooting out.Spray lightly though or you will get your bulbs stuck,and they won't be easily gotten out if you do need to replace one.

I didn't try it on the headlights, just the interior door trim. I just received and applied Klasse Vinyl, leather, rubber and plastic cleaner and conditioner and it works great. Went on uniform and leaves a satin (non-glossy) finish. I would recommend that product instead.

I used it to control the headlight relay in my truck. That way I could leave my headlight switch ON, incase I forgot to, so my lights will turn ON only at night and OFF during the day. The photoelectric lead reacts to light, turning the switch ON/OFF.

Im guessing you can, I used it on my cars taillights so I wouldn't see why you can't.

Hi, Plastic Deep Cleaner will not remove the haze from headlights. We recommend polishing them with a car polish such as einszett Paint Polish and a polishing machine. There are headlight restoration kits available as well. However, keep in mind that they will haze again so you'll want to polish them once or twice a year.

Yes, but I don't believe these are DOT approved, so you might run the risk of a ticket if caught on a public roadway using these as headlights. Other than that, I would use a relay with your setup.

We didn't have an issue with the tail lights so I can't say from experience that it would work for taillight. However, it worked perfectly fot the headlights.

That's what I used too - works perfect. Just be careful not to scratch the paint around the headlight.
