I always need to polish my headlamp after 1-2 month, it keeps getting cloudy as my car was parked 100% outdoor. After read through forums, I understand either tinting the headlamp, or applying clear coat will be a longer if not permanent solution. Some youtube video showing they use "Acrylic Lacquer" spray paint as a clear coat. This seems to be a cheap solution (can get those spray for less than RM10). Anyone has try out this and comment pls?

Yes saw that, but 1 can for over RM100, quite expensive. And I saw 1 doing on his kancil headlamp, not even 1 year also cloudy back, not so lasting for the amount paid...Try using spar urethane. google spar urethane head lights, can see many using.

maybe the differences is due to surface prep..usually for long lasting effect....must properly cut/polish then only do the coating...
