..PRODUCT APPLICATION                               . 
APPLICATION CONDITIONS 
Use when temperatures are between 40°F and 90°F (4°C and 
32°C). Use in well ventilated and covered areas away from the 
sun. Do not apply Wipe New to hot surfaces or in direct sunlight. 
Ensure surface is clean, dry and cool to ambient temperature 
before applying Wipe New. 
SURFACE PREPARATION 
Prep the exterior of all lenses intended for application at 
the same time so that one Wipe-It™ can be used to treat 
all lenses. Once the Wipe-It™ is opened it begins to cure. 
Do not open the Wipe-It until needed and complete the 
application within a few minutes. 
Wash the intended surface thoroughly with a standard soap, 
cleaner or car wash (free of wax, moisturizers or other additives). 
Rinse and let dry. For best results, apply a degreaser to heavily 
worn areas to fully clean the surface. 
To determine whether you need to use the Professional 
Lens Polishing Pad, pour water onto your headlight lens. 
The way the lens looks when wet is the way it will appear 
once treated with Wipe New. If the lens appears crystal 
clear when wet (and hazy only when dry), then you do not 
need to use the Lens Polishing Pad. Simply wash the lens 
with soap and water, rinse, and apply Headlight Restore. If 
the lens appears cloudy or hazy when wet; the Lens 
Polishing Pad will be required. 
Wet the headlight lens with water and use the green side 
of the Lens Polishing Pad to wet sand the headlight lens 
and remove oxidation. Ensure the lens remains wet while 
using the Polishing Pad. The oxidation coming off the lens 
will appear as a brownish colored liquid; continue to rub 
until this visual indicator is no longer present.  
IMPORTANT: Do not allow the Polishing Pad to come into 
contact with painted surfaces as it may scratch these 
surfaces. 
..PRODUCT APPLICATION  (cont.)                    . 
SURFACE PREPARATION (cont.) 
Re-wet the headlight lens and use the gray side of the 
Professional Lens Polishing Pad to further polish the 
headlight lens. 
Dry the lens thoroughly with the included microfiber towel 
and inspect the surface to ensure oxidation has been 
removed. If not, repeat steps above on any missed spots. 
When you can see through the lens while wet, you are 
ready to apply Wipe New. Ensure all lenses are 100% dry 
prior to proceeding to application. 
APPLICATION 
Put on the chemical resistant gloves and ensure that you are in 
a well ventilated area.  Make sure headlight lenses are 
completely dry. Tear open the Wipe-It packet, pull out the 
applicator cloth and carefully wipe the lens ONE TIME in a single 
wipe, from one row to the next, with a slight overlap (like mowing 
a lawn) until the surface is completely coated. Be careful to not 
get any Wipe New on the surrounding paint. If treating multiple 
lenses, do so before the Wipe-It dries out. If Wipe New comes in 
contact with an unintended surface such as paint; wipe it off 
immediately with a dry cloth. Within an hour of application (while 
still undergoing initial cure), acetone may be used to remove 
Wipe New from a painted surface, but not from plastic or any 
nonmetal surface. Because acetone can damage vehicle parts 
or paint, it should be used only after checking with the vehicle 
manufacturer or a Certified Paint Professional as to how to best 
apply or remove product. After Wipe New has cured, removing it 
will require the use of a fine polishing compound or high grit 
automotive sandpaper. 
DRY TIME 
The headlights will dry to the touch in about 1 hour. Do 
not allow treated lenses to come in contact with direct 
moisture (rain, dew, etc.) for 24 hours. Store excess 
product in a cool, dry place. 
COVERAGE 
One Wipe-It contains enough Wipe New to treat the exterior of 
multiple headlight lenses. 
DISPOSAL 
When finished, set the applicator cloth in a location out of the 
reach of children and allow it to dry completely prior to discarding 
(a few hours).
