Protective car headlight polish. The clouding and yellowing of headlights are caused by harmful UV rays that oxidize and discolor the plastic. Like sunscreen, this formula acts as a barrier between the plastic and these harmful rays, prolonging the clarity and shine of new or old headlights.
Applying this product every time you wax your car ensures that your headlights will look new and bright for a longer period.
Usage
To apply the protective car headlight polish, we recommend using a clean, soft cloth or a polishing sponge.
Gently rub onto the headlight as you would with a clean polish, then wipe off the residue. Hand application only.
The polish is effective on all transparent plastics.

I have been using it for over 10 years on two cars. One is a 2001 Clio and the other is a 2017 Skoda Rapid. The Skoda, with full exposure to the sun for 4 years, the headlights have not suffered at all. They look like new. The Clio had already been affected by the sun when I started using the cream on polished headlights. They needed polishing again after 3 years. Using a polish after each wash, whenever it was done. Using it once a month, especially in the summer, I believe it will do its job perfectly.
After visiting the car detailing shop for headlight polishing, I was skeptical... but I decided to give this product a try after reading so many positive reviews. After thoroughly cleaning the headlights, I applied it gently in circular motions with a cloth, and wiped off any excess that came into contact with the bumper. Although the headlights were already clean, it gave them an extra shine like when I first got the car! If it provides long-lasting protection, it will definitely deserve 5 stars for now!
I didn't want to write a review earlier because I didn't know if it really works. Now, after years of use, I decided to write what I saw.
So, this particular product is a white liquid cream. You pour a little on a cloth or a baby wipe and apply it. You don't need much product.

Positives:
1. It really protects the headlights from yellowing.
2. It is easy to apply.
3. It has an affordable price.
4. It doesn't cause any damage (this is not obvious, as there are products that, although they do the job you want, also damage something else that you didn't expect).
5. It is from Meguiar's, which you know is an overpriced brand, but still a company that won't give you dangerous products.
6. Although there are cheaper options, you can't say it's expensive, as it lasts a long time.

Negatives:
1. If the damage has already been done to the headlights, it won't fix it. It is pointless to apply it.
2. With washes, rain, and generally over time, the product disappears and requires relatively frequent application, maybe once or even twice a month. I apply it almost every time I wash my car.
3. Especially during summers and in cases where the car is exposed to the sun for hours, it requires even more frequent application.
4. You can see its results in the long run, which means that anyone who doesn't intend to keep their car for many years probably won't need this product.

Conclusion: In my case, it did preserve the headlights because despite the years I've had the car, the headlights are as they were when I bought it from the dealership. And all this, despite the fact that it is exposed to the sun every afternoon and despite the summers when it was constantly parked in sunny places. I don't expect the headlights to remain the same in 20 years (I wish, but I don't think so), but they will have a decent appearance. It's like sunscreen: it protects the skin, but only to a certain extent.
I would also like to give a useful tip to those who have purchased it: prioritize the upper part of the headlights, as this part is more exposed to the sun.
I bought this product because:
A. it has an approximate price,
B. I estimate that the quantity of its content will last longer than the life of the car,
C. no special, laborious, and difficult application is required,
D. I trust the company so that I don't have to worry that this product will eventually damage the headlights,
E. even if it provides minimal protection, I come out as a winner and
F. (as I have seen cars around, even within 10 years with burnt headlights) I hope that my headlights after 10 years of using this product will have been saved from the sun and will not show signs of "cracking" on their varnish.
I give it 4 stars because the result will be evident in the long run, but to be properly evaluated, it should be compared with a second sample, which is difficult to impossible.
After cleaning my Yaris headlights, I apply this cream every month in the summer and every 2 months in the winter. Easy and quick application - seems to do a good job.
I use it without any issue to maintain them since the new cars with plastic headlights in Greece are vulnerable to the sun. If it really does what it promises, it will show over time. Since it's not something expensive, we try and see..!
Very good product .... After cleaning or polishing the headlights, we apply the cream gently and immediately wipe it off with a microfiber cloth, and then repeat every 3 weeks or so to keep the headlights clear and transparent
Flawless product, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to keep their car headlights clean. I have been using it for a while now on both a new car and older used ones to prevent any further minimal fogging they may have. Please note that it does not remove old and yellowed plastic, but it protects the headlights from becoming like that due to the sun. After cleaning the headlight externally, it is easily applied and absorbed immediately with a minimal amount (about the size of a 2-cent coin per headlight). The difference is immediately noticeable, even on a newly cleaned headlight, it appears perfectly transparent with the use of this cream, and there is also a noticeable difference in touch.
