How to polish your headlights to factory new - the RIGHT way
There are many different options when it comes to renewing your headlights. This is my preferred method as the end result looks and feels like a factory new headlight. No clear coat to run or peel in the future. No bugs or orange peel, just a perfectly smooth and clear surface. Touch up is very easy when it does start to fade again. The polish has a UV protectant in it. All products used are from 3M.

Torx Garage Update 2 3 19 - HEMI Engine Rebuild
Looks good, man! Thanks! Helps give me the confidence to try this myself.
The 3M kit we use at work consists of 6 500 grit pads, 4 800 grit pads, and a single 3000 Trizact pad. The method I found that works the absolute best is what I call the “Dry-Wet-Wet” method. Use the 500 grit pads dry, use the 800 grit pads wet as well as the Trizact pad. And I don’t skimp on the water on the wet sanding because it keeps the pads cleaner longer and rinses away the plastic particles.
They sell some stuff at auto zone it’s a polish and lasts about 6 months the bottle will last 10 years and if you use it regularly your lens will always look new I been doing it to my 2005 Yukon xl since I got the Yukon in 2005 lights still look great
It's unfortunate that once the original surface degrades away even a repolished lens doesn't last as well as the manufactured surface. Same thing goes for retrobrightened plastic honestly - once the original plastic begins to break down it's going to continue 😔 However being able to do this yourself is still WAY cheaper than replacing the lenses!
Wasted my time.
I don't know how these videos got so popular... watching some dude wash a car and vacuum carpet...i expected mechanicals and paint and bodywork...tricked again.
gotta love an old ferd, next time, try filling the carb thru its vent pipe, dont have to crank the hell outta it to prime it that way i wouldnt worry too much about the brakes, just get a dual master instead of the single line one. you might be suprised how good it stops, my old merc will put you into the windsheild, until they get hot, brake fade off the highway is deff real with drums lol
sounds good will keep an eye out for part 2
Hell yeah, new project car!
can you put 44s on that?
.......very nice, still not running huh 😂😂
Runs… just doesn’t have reverse for very long. Lol
Not a will it run vid, its a car washing vid.
Excited to see this project!
Great job getting it running! Diving into the interior looks like it's going to be quite the adventure.
I truly enjoyed your instructions I may do the same thing to my car. Thank you for sharing and happy driving
Can you come restore my mark 8
I’ve been trying to find a decent mark vlll
You got more balls than I do as much as it looks great Id never go full blast on my Marks motor with pressure wash too many things could go wrong ,car did turn out great Ive owned 4 over the years and currently have a 98 Collectors Edition and a 97 black on black LSC grat video .
Beautiful job!!! I am looking at buying one the same color combination. You did a PHENOMENAL JOB!!! 👏👏👏🏆
Thank you! 😊
Super Thanks and we need and wish 8K Photos or videos in Real Best 8K 60fps or 120fps HDR10+ resolution clarity quality and Sound in full HD 3D Stereo Surround , Soon Please
Hey i have the same car ,1966 coupe, and have the same problem with the engine, rods where bent into Z shape and now sits in the garage. Like to see whats your next step with the engine, probably do the same, you got a new follower, thumbs up 👍
Cool Videos! Make more for our viewing enjoyment! 🤠🇺🇸
Nice Old One but a Good One!
They make this product to spray on to get iron out of paint. Or sulphur, whatever it is. 🌊👍
Wow $150!! What a fantastic buy and so glad you are saving this W140. Really impressed you gave it a clean before working on it, wish more UA-camr’s would do that.
Pretty aggressive with that pressure washer. U like living dangerously?
Wonderful car.
Thrust bearing
Missed on film. Was trying to figure out why my crank had so much play 😂 guess I didn’t add that to it.
Beautiful!
$150 is absolutely insane running or not. Good call on getting it.
Thanks Pete! Appreciate it and agreed. Not sure what I’m going to do with it now. It is running and driving now. And other than the cosmetic stuff due to sitting and being vandalized, the reverse gear is about 80% dead as expected. But then I also picked up a very clean white 97 420 with 107k on it that is actually in very good condition minus the headgasket leak. It runs fine and doesn’t overheat but when it cools it leaks into one cylinder enough to hydrolock it if I don’t release the pressure before letting it sit. Guy just put $4k into it in suspension repairs then this happened. He was going to just junk it so I offered some and got it for $200. Man the 97s are so much nicer.
Подари мне его пожалуйста
Something I like to do is use the leaf blower or air compressor with air fitting after a wash, all the engine nooks and crannies door gaps and such get dried out especially near electrical and such. Awesome detail. Keep up the good work.
That is an excellent idea!
@@TorxGarage Hi @Torx Garage. Whats the story about the white BMW 2002 on your cover pic?
@@jeanvillard2606 I’ve had it in storage for probably the past 8 years but I actually just brought it home from another state a couple weeks ago. Expect a video on that. Well, sometime. Really trying to get back into it again
@@jeanvillard2606 going to do a video on that in about two weeks actually
Did you ever get it running? if so will you make a video of you replacing the pushrods and setting the timing? I
Not yet! It is going to be an engine out job now. I could probably get it running as is but I’ve decided to do a complete reseal on the engine and transmission. So I’ll make a video on that but have to get that moving. Hopefully not too far away
Is this car for sale?
Good Engine Clean vid! Love the Car. 😆
It's worth more in double pane window glass than what you bought it for. Steal of a deal!
That’s true I spent almost that much for one of the rear windows that was busted on it 😂 still need to replace it and update this car too
Heyy! Just wondering if this year there'll be any more videos on the W140?
I do have more, I need to sit down and put it all together. I actually bought another one as well
Are you sale ???
Well the old paint makeup is a lot more hardy than the modern EPA friendly one ... And old paint is way thicker too ...
They don’t make them like they used to! Keep loving and saving other Benzes!
Thanks for saving the legend!!
Hey Vito. Thought I see you in more benz comments. Lol.
Good Job! We want to see more about German Cars in US!

Part 2 of the same car wash. Thought you said you were going to show restoration….
Part one wash, not restoration.
Ever get it running?
I did!
Any videos on it? I acquired this idenicsl model and spec it sat since 2012. The entire front wiring harness was chewed in half by mice and the engine harness was deteriated also the plastic lifter oilers were leaking with low oil pressure and top end rattle. Everything is gixed now and i absolutley love this car. Lots of presence and very substantial lol. Gazing at the three pointed star driving on back roads it seamlessly cruises through corners and accelerates with ease. Its not fast but for late 80s engineering and a 2 and a half ton car it is impressive.
maybe see what it needs to start the engine and mechanicals before you clean the crap outta it.Otherwise it's a polished turd
Is this las vegas?
Where is the restoration?
