[New Product] 1K clear headlight varnish

The KUDO® automotive range has a new product — 1K clear headlight varnish KUDO® KU-9024.

This fast-drying acrylic varnish removes dullness and clouding and restores the factory clarity of car headlights. The coating has high light transmission and does not refract or scatter light.

The varnish has excellent adhesion to plastic and forms a clear protective layer resistant to UV radiation, road chemicals, sand and moisture. This keeps headlights clear and the car looking tidy for a long time.


1K automotive varnish KUDO® is now available in an 800 ml can

KUDO® is expanding its range of package sizes: 1K gloss automotive varnish KUDO® KU-9010-2 is now supplied in a larger 800 ml aerosol can.

The new format means:

  • More product — 800 ml instead of the 520 ml of the standard can;
  • Fewer interruptions — no need to change cans often during the job;
  • Convenience on large jobs — more varnish for coating body panels and other car parts.

The varnish is designed as the finish coat in refinish work with metallic paints. It forms a high-gloss protective layer that resists weathering, UV, abrasion and mechanical loads.
