Headlamp Restorer & Protector

Toyota Headlamp Restoration Glassylite

What sets the GlassyLite apart is the trade-secret Nano Sealant that provides a better, longer-lasting protective layer than wax. The Nano Sealant doesn't bond with the molecules in the PC lens, but has molecules small enough to latch onto and reside in the gaps so that it holds better than wax. The sealant is not designed to work on Plexiglas (acrylic), due to the difference in surface adhesion. It's also about as hard as the OEM acrylic coating.

The GlassyLite treatment was applied to our Project 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder, which has seen its share of track days and off-track excursions. The lenses were yellowed, hazed and pitted, as well as being etched by the acid of bug guts. Previous efforts of buffing out the haze only lasted a few weeks. After a thorough wet sanding to remove the remnants of the imperfections, we applied the polish and Nano Sealant with remarkable success-although it took a pack and a half of polish since the lights were so big.

While not all of the hazing was removed, the yellowing was wiped out completely. Much of the hazing could be addressed with less hasty color sanding, but the treatment essentially restored our headlamps (much to our surprise) and continues to last. It has maintained its finish, unlike other polishes. The treatment is only semi-permanent, but will outlast waxes from six months to a year, according Tourenn. Reapplication of the sealer isn't a problem.
