Headlight Care Guide

Your headlights now have a fresh start. Follow these simple steps to keep them crystal clear for the full five-year warranty and beyond.

  1. First 2 hours

    Avoid water or moisture. The UV sealant is still curing, so keep sprinklers, rain, and washing to a minimum during this window.

  2. First 24 hours

    Skip the automatic car wash until the next day. Hand washing with a soft mitt and pH-neutral soap is okay after the first 24 hours.

  3. Weekly washing

    Wash by hand or touch-free. Avoid stiff brushes or harsh chemicals that could dull the sealant.

  4. Quarterly check-in

    Wipe the headlights with a clean microfiber towel and mild soap. If you notice new haze, contact us right away—your warranty covers it.
