Plastic protection for KC fog light covers

[AndyG]

I have new plastic covers for my KC lights.

Would a clear product , like 2x clear , with adhesion promoter, preserve the lettering ,etc.

Bugs hammer them.

Or would it flake ?

First world problem.

You are overthinking protecting the light's protection. Its a disposable wear item But, I suppose you could use a UV plastic protectant like 303 to prevent sun damage or clear bra to protect from chips.

What's wrong with trying to extend the life of things a bit?

That's my thought exactly . Trying to retain the look as long as I can .

Why not just put Lamin-X on them? That's what I always do with new lights.

A thin coating of bug guts

Lamin-X will protect the the lenses from even large rocks. IMHO, there's no better headlight protection out there.

You could also use a good PPF (paint protection film) as well. Both of those would ensure the plastic stays new forever.

Cool... I'm being so stupid I'm trying to protect the covers that protect the lenses. You talk about people that don't have anything better to do...

It's pretty obvious when a guy has solved most of the problems on his rig... He's like a dog gnawing on a bone he just can't stop.

there could be like three or four supermodels standing in front of it and most of us would go , hey , I think my winch needs respooled or something , move ladies.

On further thought maybe I should just get a big plexiglass bubble to go over the whole thing.

Then you'd need bubble covers.

Peal and stick plastic lamination sheets from your local office supply store are great at protecting flat lenses like those.

Dam @Andy G .. you were trying to protect the protectors?.. going from the house to the barn isn’t going to damage the covers that much
