Eastwood Durable Paint 2K Aerosol High Gloss Clear Spray 12 Oz

Overall this seems like the best finisher for restoring oxidized headlights. I have tried many products in the past including the Meguiars kit, Sylvania kit, Turtle Wax headlight restorer, and just wetsanding with 600, 1000, then 2000 or 2500 grit sandpapers and then clearing with 2 coats of some clear lacquer spray paint bought from Oreilly's. For this application (picture 1), I wetsanded with 600 until the color of the sanded plastic particles changed from yellow to white, and then used 1000 grit for 11 minutes and 2000 grit for 8 minutes (per headlight). After wiping with rubbing alcohol, I layed a medium coat of this spray paint (picture 2). I followed the directions on the can and also used tape to hold the button pressed in while spraying. Once the paint from the first coat was applied, it looked very cloudy (concerning) but dried with no orange peel or undesirable finish (3). I applied a second coat (4) and it was cloudy again but dried fine (5). I did this process to another car, whose headlights I had refinished a little over a year ago with the store-bought spray paint mentioned above (6). I applied 3 coats of this 2k Eastwood clear (7) and they turned out looking good. You MUST either remove the headlight from the vehicle before spraying or lay multiple blankets/towels over the top of the vehicle so that none of the MASSIVE amount of overspray gets on the vehicle. If you do not remove the headlights/taillights from the vehicle, you MUST cover areas surrounding the light with plastic and not newspaper like I did. Around the border where the painters tape was, I can see a faint but sharp line where the paint seeped through the newspaper and attached itself the the surface of the fender and bumper. This did not come off with lacquer thinner, so I will try other options such as a clay bar or rubbing compound. Also be aware of the 48 hour lifespan of the product after cracking the chambers open. I did not have any issues, but I would not use this product after those 48 hours have elapsed. I am very confident that this is the perfect spray paint for refinishing headlights and taillights. With the proper prep work and precautions taken, you will not regret buying this $30 spray paint can.

Worked as advertised, actually better than expected. I’m not a professional, this was my first attempt at clear coat repair and it worked well

This works excellent for clear coating headlight assemblies. I’ve now ordered a second can so I can restore another set and truck I just bought.

Looks good, much much better than cheapo duplicolor clear, which isnt glossy at all. But it does not have any flex additive, so for bumpers it will get brittle and flake off if the bumper flexes any. (Any body shop will add flex additive if they are doing a bumper, just ask them) There is another brand of 2-part clear out there that has the flex additive, so go with that if you're doing a bumper. But for fenders and doors that dont flex, this is great. Also, this is pretty forgiving if your technique isn't perfect--I didn't have any drips and it dries pretty fast.

This is much better than the regular clearcoat. I use this on 2010 Mercedes sprinter and could not see the difference in the original factory clearcoat and this clearcoat. I will definitely buy this again. The cost was a little higher than I expected, but the results are better than I expected.
