Philips Automotive North America, a division of Royal Philips, has released a new instructional video to support its recently introduced Philips headlight restoration kit. Titled “Headlight Restoration Kit Video,” the video demonstrates the steps needed to complete a full restoration of clouded or hazy headlight lenses in less than 30 minutes. The video highlights proper techniques for protecting the body finish and trim areas around the headlights, polishing the lenses and the proper safety procedures. The video also explains the added benefit of the Philips Headlight restoration kit’s special UV coating, which can help prevent future clouding for up to two years.
The instructional video advises the viewer that headlamp clouding is a growing problem on vehicles, especially as they age. Headlight lenses can become hazed and yellowed. This lens clouding caused by sunlight, ozone, road pollution, as well as the chemicals used in car washes, reduces headlight output and compromises nighttime vision and driving safety. The discoloration of the lens mars the vehicle’s appearance and reduces its value.
