Question:<\/h3>\n

I was wondering what is the difference between the Infinity 4.1 headlight coating<\/a> and the Coat2protect Headlight Coating<\/a>? Also, what is the shelf life for the Infinity sealer and catalyst?<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/h3>\n

Infinity 4.1<\/span><\/h4>\n
Pros:<\/h5>\n
    \n
  • Easy to apply self leveling formula.<\/li>\n
  • Very forgiving. If you miss a spot you can wipe it off with a damp rag (while still wet) and re-apply.<\/li>\n
  • Dries very quickly creating a hard durable finish. Drive away time is within minutes rather than hours required for most other headlight coatings and full cure is achieved within 24 hours.<\/li>\n
  • Water based. Non-hazardous, non-toxic, can be shipped by air, environmentally friendly, etc.<\/li>\n
  • Longer shelf life. Guaranteed 12 months unopened or 6 months after opening.<\/li>\n
  • Longer applied life. Typically, protects headlights for an average of 6 months longer than C2P and 12+ months longer than competitive products before showing signs of deterioration.<\/li>\n
  • Longer mixed life. As long as it is stored in an airtight container Infinity 4.1 can be used anytime within 12 hours after mixing.<\/li>\n
  • Fills the pores of a freshly sanded headlight lens to seal and protect against the elements.<\/li>\n
  • Excellent bonding strength to resist peeling.<\/li>\n
  • Extremely cost effective. 80 headlights per kit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Cons:<\/h5>\n
      \n
    • 4\/1 mixture is a little more tedious than 2\/1 or no mix products but not bad. It takes about 5 seconds longer per mix than a 2\/1 product and 30 seconds longer than a no mix product.<\/li>\n
    • Does not fill scratches and sanding marks as well as a thick petroleum based product coating so you have to spend the time to make sure the lens is properly sanding and polished prior to application.<\/li>\n
    • Bottom Line: There no better all around headlight restoration coating than Infinity 4.1. It dries fast, provides excellent protection at a very competitive price and no other headlight coating holds up as well to the elements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Coat2Protect<\/span><\/h4>\n
      Pros:<\/h5>\n
        \n
      • Easy to apply self leveling formula makes headlights look like new even if sanded and polished by a novice. Nothing looks better!<\/li>\n
      • Goes on thick to cover light scratches and sanding marks far better than any other headlight restoration coating. Provides that „new“ look.<\/li>\n
      • Applied life is not as good as Infinity but still considered excellent for industry standards.<\/li>\n
      • Excellent bonding strength to resist peeling.<\/li>\n
      • Provides a thick, tough barrier to protect headlights from the elements.<\/li>\n
      • Very cost effective. 60+ headlights per kit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        Cons:<\/h5>\n
          \n
        • Safe drive away time is about 60 minutes and it takes several days to achieve a full cure. That is still better than many headlight restoration products but not as good as Infinity.<\/li>\n
        • Considered a hazardous material for shipping purposes so it is very expensive to ship by air. There is a big push to do away with all petroleum based products for environmental reasons.<\/li>\n
        • Shelf life is 6 months unopened and 3 months after opening.<\/li>\n
        • Applied life is slightly shorter than infinity.<\/li>\n
        • Mixed life is limited. We suggest mixing for each pair of headlights to be restored or if stored in an airtight container it should be used within 60 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Bottom Line: There simply is no better headlight restoration for ease of use (reduces sanding and polishing time) or for the „wow“ factor. Coat2Protect is the number one choice for impressing customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
