    To keep all plastic lenses looking brand new, I use NuFinish on all the lenses on my FJ and to this day, they all look brand new. My Saab and motorcycles get the same treatment. You'll never have to worry about having to do that ever again. 🙂

      Can you let us know what it cost, and what the benefits are? I haven't looked into any projector beams yet.

    Great job!! Those beamers look like new!!! Wow ! Also was another vid where the sealant used was a Krylon spray clear coat. But I’ll try this kit (several cars to benefit from it.). Also,..What do you like best for restoring the black, bumper and rubber trim. I hear Mother’s back to black is good. Thanks and cheers,.. excellent as always.

      Thanks! I've used this headlight kit on at least four other cars. It is definitely worth the money. I have been meaning to do a follow up to my initial comparison. Everybody loves cerakote, and it is the superior product, however it runs streaky upon application. Personally I would not apply it to rubber. It will definitely last longer than any other product, but I would go with Mothers or ArmorAll, which has a more consistent finish, even if I have to apply more frequently throughout the year.

    Nice work! I also need to do it in my 2018 FJ. My headlights and indicators lights are in worst condition because of sandstorms in Saudi Arabia. Is anyone here, knows if the procedure and materials works with indicators lights?

    • @LiL13izzy7
      @LiL13izzy7  2 роки тому +1

      It should be the same, I believe. The compound they provide is called Plast-X, which is formulated for plastic. Modern headlights lenses are no longer made of glass like they used to make them (they're polycarbonate plastic)
