Ive heard this stuff is the shizz from the guys in the US. However this stuff is the best out there, bit pricey but comes up trumps

yeah I bought the same one the Glassylite from a motor show last year in WA. the headlights came out really like new and it can probably last for a year. i couldnt get this product in any auto shop here.

Sam thats because its imported from America and there is only one agent for it here, thats the guy on ebay. His also on nissansilvia.com, seems that he is a small time operation and goes it just for some extra cash. Only thing is he has increased his prices quite a bit but its still probably the best long term solution and polish for headlights.

if it lasts a yr thats alot longer than scratch x which i used to have to do every month before i had them fixed by the headlight hospital. im just lucky i have glass high beams aswell..
i might invest in some if its really hard to find.its probably gone up due to higher shipping costs and the aussie dollar isnt as strong as a yr or so ago.

used some on my mates r33 last night and they look like new now.

Has anyone brought their leaking headlights to the the professionals to fix? Has it been all successful or has it leaked again after the years goes by.

By the way Aaron, that looks amazing. :-)

Adam-yeah sorry forgot that Auto One is the only other place, might be more now as my knowledge is a few months old now.

Scott-let use know if you have to re-do it every month like Plastic X. Other than that looks damn good.

I got the Glassylite pack for $39.95. Did an amazing job on them. I took a picture after I'd done one headlight, to give a comparison. As soon as I find the cable for my camera, I'll upload it.

The thing with glassilite is that its slightly/mediumly (if thats a word haha) better than Plastic X (which is pretty damn good already) however you put this resin stuff over it (which is supplied) and its meant to stop the oxidation so its pretty permenant. Wow thats a lot of bracket usage haha
