Hot polymer headlight restoration is a process that uses a special liquid polymer, heated to a vapor, to restore cloudy or yellowed headlights. The process involves sanding the headlight lens to remove oxidation, then using the polymer vapor to melt the outermost layer of the plastic, creating a new, clear surface. This method is effective for restoring clarity, but protective UV sealant should be applied afterward for long-term results.

1. Prepare the area: Clean the headlights thoroughly and protect the surrounding paint with masking tape. Ensure good ventilation and wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves, a mask, and safety glasses.
2. Sand the lens: Sand the headlight lens with a series of increasingly finer grits of sandpaper to remove the old, oxidized layer. After each sanding step, clean the lens with water and dry it completely.
3. Heat the polymer: Pour the liquid polymer into the special heating cup provided in the kit. Heat the liquid until it begins to produce a visible steam.
4. Apply the vapor: Once the steam is consistent, hold the cup over the headlight and move the vapor evenly over the entire surface. The plastic will immediately become clear and smooth as the vapor melts the outer layer.
5. Finish and protect: Turn off the heating device and let the headlights cool down. It is highly recommended to apply a UV protection liquid after the restoration to prevent future yellowing and fading.
