for the past few years i have used meguiar’s plastx and their spray on clear coat to restore my headlights with pretty good results  one inherent problem with this maguires method is that it only lasts about a year so the clear coat needed to be stripped and reapplied annually  during last year’s reapply i had a problem with the sprayon clear coat  it caused bad orange peel on the headlights  i don’t know if they changed the formula or i got a bad cani was researching alternatives and found this cerakote restorer  it had good reviews but the main thing that attracted me was its claim to last as long as you own your carthe results were great  now i have to say in all fairness to anyone who is reading this that i had already buffed out the headlight with plastx and my 6 inch buffer so they were free of oxidation and looked good to startcerakote is a 3step process  1 a chemical deoxidizer which i skipped as my headlights were already clear from buffing  2 – the second step is actually 2 steps wet sanding with 2 grades of sandpaper  i debated whether i was going to do this as i really bugged me to “rough up” my beautifully clear head lights  but the instructions stated for the ceramic coating to adhere properly the headlights had to have a “frosted” appearance with no shiny areas  3 – use the included towelette to apply the ceramic coatingi was a little concerned with wipeon applications as i was worried that it would streak  it did not  it was selfleveling and there is really no indication that there is a coating on the lens other than the act that wiping the ceramic coating on the frosted lenses made them crystal clear againanother big plus to the wipeon approach as opposed to the meguiars clearcoat spray is that i did not have to tape and maskoff the areas surrounding the headlights to prevent oversprayi don’t know about the lifetime guarantee but i’m hoping it’s true  if i find out differently i will update this review
