Default Re: Sylvania Headlight Restoration Review

Towncrier, thanks for posting. It never ceases to amaze me the low quality plastic Chrysler used in the headlights. My limited had the same hazing issues and I used a variety of products with varied results. Please do post an update in 3 months or so (with pics if possible) showing us how this product has held up to the elements. In my experience I found that many of these off the shelf items resolved the problem initially, but never held up for long. That being said, I never used a UV clear coat, which should help maintain the plastic.

When I purchased my SRT6, one of the things I looked for in a new vehicle was clean headlights. So many Crossfires on the market today have succumbed to hazy headlights, and my experience was that you could restore those headlights, but the haze would always come back. I was looking at an SRT6 that was much more convenient to me (10 miles away from where I live versus 400 miles away like the one I purchased) but that had headlights that needed to be seriously restored, but I would have wanted to replace them. For anyone interested, the lights cost about $500 - $600 a pop new.

The SRT6 I bought had perfectly clear headlights. First thing I did when I got it home was clean the headlights with some plastic cleaner and apply this product Wolfgang Plastik Surface Sealant to the headlights. It is supposed to applied at 6 month intervals and serves as a UV protectant (similar to what was probably included in the OPs kit), and so far appears to have limited any hazing, but I have not had it on the lights long enough to provide a sound approval of the product. Will post back sometime in the summer to let everyone know if it is still working.
