  • What is the best UV-resistant 1K clear-coat in a can?

    I need to refurbish my car's polycarbonate headlights to pass the MOT, so will be sanding, polishing and clear-coating them. The logical thing to do would be to spray them with 2K clear-coat, but I'm shit-scared of the allegedly horrific side-effects of inhaling isocyanate activator in '2K in a can' spraypaint.

    I've found 'U-Pol 1K UV Resistant Clear Gloss'; this claims to be isocyanate-free. Will such a thing last?

  • When I did ours on the old CMax I use one of the headlight restoration kits off evilbay and didn’t clearcote them. I just used the finest polish on them every time a washed the car (couple of times a year) it took about 2 minutes a side and they always looked like new. Right up until it got written off 4 years later.

  • Thanks, but I really can’t be arsed with having to think about maintaining them, so looking to clear-coat, rotary polish and forget.
