Firstly, if your headlights are good, never use a solvent or abrasive on them or you’ll remove the protective factory coating and find yourself looking at these kinds of videos. This includes bug spray, other oils, toothpaste, cutting/buffing polish, etc.

Hence....just adding a similar oil to the carrier in fine polishes ( or just polishing more and more frequently hence reintroducing the carrier oil in the polish again ) - or just polishing it properly like Hutchy - is gonna keep them tided over without expensive "barrier method" productsThe light refraction argument seems completely absurd. Headlights are not precisely focused beam. They’re not a laser. Their purpose is to spread light around so you can see around you. Although a clear coat will marginally alter (refract) the output on a different angle, this will be pragmatically immeasurable, but assuming it does affect the angle, just compensate by adjusting your headlight tilt. But, is the refraction alteration from clear coat worse than a murky headlight? What about water? Water will refract the light considerably. Should we avoid using headlights in the rain? BTW, the polish/wax, etc contained in your car wash will also influence the light refraction. This argument, which I’ve heard before, isn’t valid. You may need to scrub a little harder for the fogginess to clear off, but ultimately, toothpaste may be the answer to your headlight problem and even turn out to be the only DIY car lens restorer you need.

How to Polishing the Headlights The common arguments against clear coats are generally two-fold: It interferes with the light refraction and can be more difficult to deal with in the future.Like most DIY solutions proposed on this topic, this video is only half the job. Once you have prepared the headlight as shown in this video, you must protect the headlight from UV with a permanent barrier, not just a temporary one using a polish like that shown here. The problem with relying on polish UV protection is that you need to maintain it continually. Where I live that means polishing my lights every two months because our sun is exceedingly harsh. This simply isn’t realistic and I have better things to do. My car lives outside which doesn’t help matters either. (One day I’ll have space for a car in my garage… but not today.)
