    Go a call to restore a pair of headlights on a 2003 Mercedes Benz E320. The headlights were very weathered and it was bringing down the entire look of the car. A quick morning of work took care of the lights and produced stunning results. I also used the Chemical Guys SS6 to protected from future fading.

    Huge improvement, nice work. I'm not familiar with CG Second Skin 6 Protective Coating, is it a LSP or meant for plastic with UV protection?

    I'm interested as I have buffed and polished a set of Honda headlights with HEAVY oxidation and while they looked fantastic the UV coating is gone and therefore the haze reappeared within months. Was planning to try Sylvania's Headlight restoration kit as it has a UV blocking final application that goes on wet and dries clear. Limited reviews on other boards have been good and lasts much longer than typical sand/polish/seal approaches.

    Anyway, would like your thoughts on CG Second Skin 6 Protective Coating.

    TIA

    Those are some dramatic befores and afters. I had not heard of Second Skin before, I guess it's their coating? Looks like it has good reviews though, hahaha...
