I keep telling people to use XPEL, not only does it last longer than 2K clear, it protects against impacts and it is self healing, any light impact or scratch can be reversed by pouring hot water over the film, it is also optically clearer, clear coat has that orange peel effect that you can correct after, but that’s another 2-3 steps of sanding, compounding, polishing again, plus you’re thinning out the clear by doing that pretty much shortening it’s life, like you said, the film is way thicker than any clear, so there’s no comparison. For some vehicles they already have the precut kits, you literally don’t have to do any cutting. 2K clear is a hassle, if it fails then you have to completely sand it off and do it all over again, sometimes they applied it so thick that you have to sand down to 240 grit to truly remove it all and then work your way back up. With the film you can just peel it off, give the light a quick polish and re apply the film again. There’s a shop by my house here in SoCal that offers a headlight restoration service using XPEL as the protection, they offer a 10 year warranty on the job for around $180-$200, it’s a no brainer to go that route.

I just talked to Xpel and their clear film does not block any UV Rays from the sun, Tinted some but they had no percentages but Clear none..

What happens when you take the film off?

Great video

Your headlights are relatively flat, but I have a 2015 4 runner, and the headlights have peaks and valleys that probably won't cooperate with this paper.

This is the best way! We've been doing PPF on our customer's cars for a few years now after headlight restorations and it works absolute wonders!

[@WAEofFishing]

Great vid. So many YTB'rs don't get beginner tutorial. This is the first vid I have found that gives the slip solution formula and gave clear expectations of process. Good vid bruh

[@oshritdouieb2879]

Is it protected from the sun ?

[@concreteangel2599]

I'm so trying this! I've tried everything, even sanding and clear coating and everything yellows. Thanks for the awesome reviews!

[@lancelancer7283]

bro, may i request for a long term, maybe after 1 year or less, review on your ppf on your headlight? thanks

[@timhossfeld7260]

Awesome, thank you. Love the Z too...nice seeing one still on the road! Had a 1978 as my very first car... Geez that was a long time ago ! Loved that straight 6 engine.

[@Meandmy2Vs]

I’m going to do this on my aftermarket headlights on my F150. Thanks for the video!

[@Ferrari348GTS]

Impressive video, both production quality and the info! Perfectly paced

[@adryanbabolal6277]

Love seeing this car being used for examples

[@FZERO20]

Not too bad!? Bro that looks amazing. I was wondering what would be a great idea to protect my headlamps. And the whole time I was thinking clear coat. Until I watched this video. Definitely going with this method. I can understand how a wrap could last year's versus a coating

[@sandrab.5065]

Thanks for sharing.

[@IsaacVK2.7]

Awesome vid I’m going to try to make my own custom lights and want them to last so I’ll try this out thanks for the tips

[@daniellang6112]

you're hired! awesome job!

[@crispyjokingtuna1495]

Gonna have to try this when I get new headlights. I’ll probably put it on before installation to make it (hopefully) a bit easier

[@gabedaxe477]

Can I use it in my poly windshield racing car?
