Now that you guys all have done all this hard work of cleaning your headlight lenses, or are about to do the hard work, why not do something about saving all your hard work and keeping your headlight lenses clean for a very very long time to come??

Interested??? I thought so.

Here is what you do, either contact a Tint-a-car or a Solace outlet and ask for a product called Ricochet.

It is a clear plastic protective film that has a special sticky tape at the back of it and is about 1mm thick. You attach it on top of your headlight lenses and it acts both as a headlight protector, protecting your lenses from sand, oils, chemicals and all the dirt from the other vehicles and the road. It also cuts the UV rays down.
AND once it is on, you can’t see that it is there.

There is something similar sold by 3M.

DON'T forget to use Plexus plastic spray on a regular basis.

There you go.
