Headlights Are Like New With 3 Drops Acetone. I Could Not Believe My Eyes!

- It is possible to make your car headlights like new with acetone used by your spouse. Try this using simple materials like acetone, cans, straws, and candles.
Considering how we’re being told that petroleum products are killing the planet, car manufacturers are still using single use plastics on their headlights.
What happened to glass headlights? They rarely chipped, and were made of a material that can be recycled indefinitely.
5X the price.
Probalby due to weight and cost for custom shapes for each model. The only one I know of was the Cadillac Allante. Those headlights outlast the car.
Had glass headlights on my old Citroen BX GTi. An impact with a pigeon was all it took to destroy one! And,incidentally,the glass was 5 to 6mm thick! Plastic has flexibility,unlike glass. Oh,and regarding dullness,the (in situ)application of Solvol Autosol metal polish with an electric buffing pad will restore most plastic units to their original shine, and ,should they be lacquer coated,this can be reapplied via a rattle can of clear coat from your local DIY store. Job done!
you can thank aerodynamic testing, gas mileage, manufacturing costs, and styling. Besides, statistics say it's only the second owner who has to worry about the problems of plastic headlights.
@@rupe53 oh, the same problem as EV ownership. Hence why the fallacy of Man Made Global Warming is a myth…..the proof from governments and manufacturers is right there to see.
When you are finished, if you spray it with two or three coats of clear coat it will last for many years.
last step is easier with uv protectant clear spray. Krylon makes it. And it keeps it clear longer.
Thanks
Clickbait.. he forgot to mention that you need to apply a lot of elbow grease as with any headlight restoration method..😁
How is it clickbait?
That acetone in the Red Bull can was kind of lame, and holding a candle underneath to boot? Any headlight restore guy who works in the field of headlight restoration has the vapor keddle kit you plug-in. There's no way I'd being doing clients like that with the vapor application. That has clickbait written all over it.
@@headlightvideotraining
“Clickbait” seems to be a common term just thrown around without understanding this is merely a diy if you don’t have access to or don’t want to buy special tools.
Obviously there is a professional way to do it, but not everyone is a professional. If someone wants to try this at their own risk, let it happen.
結局磨くんだね そんなん
アセトンじゃなくても磨いた後にクリア吹けば同じ
これって作業した時は綺麗に仕上がりますが１年後のライトは悲惨な状況になります。
経験者なのでこの施工後に２液性ウレタン塗装をお勧めします。
確かにアセトンはアルコールよりも樹脂を溶かしますからね。
私は過去に会社の研究室で、アセトンでビーカーに、こびり付いた樹脂の洗浄を行ったこともありました。
Super!
На месяц хватит, а потом снова помктнеют, заводской лас снял, а новый не нанёс😂 красавчик мужик😂 после таких кулибиных фары менять приходится
ездяй на своем гоффножигуле и не кизди, орчиналаптеногая
Ничего им не будет, я свои полировал и лак не наносил, больше года прошло
гуский глас уский
не все фары лакированые с завода.
@@alex21487
Все пластиковые фары с завода покрыты твёрдым (антицарапковым) слоем! Если этот слой снять, то останется мягкий материал, из которого сделан сам прозрачный корпус - поликарбонат! На продажу конечно можно и так оставить, фары будут блестеть ещё пару месяцев. Но для себя, поверхность нужно покрыть или лаком, а лучше защитной полиуретановой плёнкой! Если этого не сделать, то через год состояние будет ещё хуже!
Мы занимаемся плёнками для автомобилей уже более 25 лет, в том числе и фарами!
I saw another video where acetone was in a rechargeable heated kettle and vapors would do that. I bet there are a lot of different ways to restore headlights but a sealant keeps them fresh longer
Acetone is highly flammable and you're using a candle?
Kinda cool, isnt it !!!!!!
Especially acetone vapor. I would never use that technique.
lol
@@johnsposato5632😂... Professional headlight restore places use this method... ... Once you know how chemicals compounds reacts and works.. You will understand.. Why professional are using this method..
Doesn't seem being better or simplier than only sanding, polishing and painting* the headlamp-lens.
(*UV-resistant clear coat)
And why this thumbnail with candle-wax??
El vapor de la acetona sella el lijado del plástico. Pero después, ¿kizás sería conveniente pulverizar una capa de laca transparente??.
que tipo transparente para que dure
@@ramonrosa1919 pienso en poliuretano transparente (cristal) es resistente al UV. El mismo que se utiliza en la capa final del pintado automotor.
@@hernannieto4310 Creo ke sería la ideal.
Nice
По желтеют за сезон. До 800 чистишь и лаком скрываешь, есть машина которой я делал лет так 5 назад. До сих пор как новые.
Без проф 2К лака и без пряморукого мастера так же пожелтеют
А в чем проблема после такой процедуры покрыть лаком?
@@user-du5fj9kd6q лаг лучше на шершавую поверхность после 800 наждачке, а после ацетона зацепиться не за что. И вообще зачем, если лачить?
можно пример названия хорошего лака ? @@vitmor4653
Мне фары также полирнули с химией из китайского чайника, а потом сразу в броне пленку закатали. - 2 года полет нормальный.
Harika
Hola a todos;use acetona para sacar lo amarillento,solo una pasada por cada lado de un trapo de algodón,y luego frote durante 30 minutos,con pasta de dientes,muy buen resultado me dio.
I used Hippich Simichrome chrome polish first, then Maguires light polishing compound. About 10 mintues per headlight and about 95% like new again. Easy.
На год, потом пожелтеет. После такой полировки необходимо покрыть лаком для микросхем, продается в магазинах Электронных Компонентов. Этот лак защитить от солнечного ультрафиолета.
WTF!!!! Acetone is highly flammable and can ignite at room temperature. Acetone vapors can also create explosive mixtures with air when heated.
1000 grit & water, 3000 grit & water then a polish and that's it. Good as new. I would never advise heating a product as flamable as aceatone.
This is proven method ..chemical compunds ..works.. Professional use this method or shops use for treatment.. What they are doing is using a actone vapors....which causes chemical reaction... .
They sell this kits online..
But once you are done with actone vapor treatment.... You have to apply layer of UV protection.. to make it last longer...
No thats not it.... You need to lacquer them to stop them clouding again...
He used an orange straw, so it should be fine. That’s we learned unicorn training yesterday.
great！
Волшебник.
Muito bom...👏🏽👏🏽
I think that General Motors used something like this to polish their plastic steering wheels pre-1970's
From Wikipedia: Vapor polishing is a method of polishing plastics to reduce the surface roughness or improve clarity. Typically, a component is exposed to a chemical vapor causing the surface to flow thereby improving the surface finish. This method of polishing is frequently used to return clear materials to an optical quality finish after machining. Vapor polishing works well in the internal features of components.
Feature size changes of the plastic component generally do not occur. Post stress relieving is usually required as vapor polishing sets up surface stresses that can cause crazing[citation needed].
Plastics that respond well to vapor polishing are polycarbonate, acrylic, polysulfone, PEI, and ABS.
The technique is also being used to improve the surface of objects created with 3D printing techniques. As the printer deposits layer upon layer of material to build the object, the surface is often not entirely smooth. The smoothness of the surface can be greatly increased by vapor polishing.[1]
would the same method also work for dull plastic trim around the car? lets say fenderarches/bumpers on a audi a6 allroad?
All I know is what I read on the wiki and don't recall where I read about the 1960's use case for plastic steering wheel finishing. These days in the USA the vapors would make such techniques unpopular with the Air Quality Management authorities. The Acetone that I think they used is pretty strong solvent and might just remove any paint.@@sttm1283
@@sttm1283A hot gas blowlamp will restore those Plastic Side Panels to new, but you must exercise care, and ensure that all paintwork receives no heat at all.
Don't forget to coat the lens after this treatment!
Vou fazer 😂
Interesting video, good results.
However, I am never going to buy a can of Redbull.
why not ?
@@pjwoo276 потомучто стоит она в России дохера, проще флэш в два раза дешевле😂
@@user-wr1sz1by6t English please
и на сколько долговременный эффект?...
Uv safe clear laquer woukd be better ....but this is science at its best
Quer dizer quê foi a acetona e não a lixa pra tirar o verniz que protege o farol. É cada uma...
Wow, this video is amazing! I followed the instructions and used just three drops of acetone on my headlights, and they look brand new! I couldn't believe the transformation. Thank you for sharing this helpful tip!"
Lesson: Sometimes, simple solutions like using minimal acetone can yield incredible results in restoring headlights. It's all about being cautious and precise in application.
In a few months they will be yellow again. You need to apply a 2k clear to protect the plastic from getting etched by sulfur oxides. That's why they look yellow over time.
Hey nice to hear that it worked well for you, you did the same as shown in this video or just you rubbed Acetone over the headlights?
@@IamAli89it's actone vapors.. Not actone poured to headlight.. It will damage the headlight is actone touches.. It's the actone vapors ..causing chemical reaction to plastic... Professional headlight restore places uses this methods..
@@IamAli89they sell this kits online less than $20.... This guy just showed you how to make it cheaper DYI.
I just use my buffer with 3 grades of buffing compound. Like new in 20 minutes.
There’s a quick way to improve lights, not as good as your method, but quick. Use kitchen cleaner like Comet with a wet towel then get a restore liquid, not expensive from auto supply to finish.
Надо сразу клеить бронепленку.
acetone has a flash point of -20C so not sure how anyone keeps from starting a fire with an open flame only a few inches away from the vapor.
“The stoichiometric ratio is the exact ratio between air and flammable gas or vapor at which complete combustion takes place.” Just because there’s a natural gas being let out of the swamp doesn’t mean someone else on the other side of the county doesn’t get to smoke a cigarette. Have you ever seen the video of the pale of gasoline that someone puts a welding ark in? The fire triangle states that there’s a source of ignition, and there’s a source of fuel, but there’s not a source of oxygen, regardless, the ratio of the oxygen to the fuel still has to meet the efficient.
@@williamcope2652 key there being complete combustion... or the ideal mixture for efficiency. Many flammables have a very wide range of combustion, although not ideal. I believe acetylene will burn from a 10% to a 90% mix with air. The sociometric point of gasoline is 14.7:1 expressed as a ratio. I'd have to look up acetone.
@@williamcope2652 The stochiometric point is for ideal combustion. IOW, least emissions and most power. Gasoline is 14.7:1 but there is a wider range of flammability overall. They are called the LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) and the UEL (Upper Explosive Limit) You also have to consider the conditions where you actually have a vapor to burn. Gasoline has no vapor at around -50F but plenty at room temp. Fuel oil / diesel has almost no vapor till you reach over 125F. IOW, you need the vapor and the air mixture. In this video there's plenty of air so it's a matter of reaching a rich enough mix to go boom.
Suddenly we have PHD.chemstry scientist. Here.. Telling us..
Lol this method is used by Professional headlight restore shops.... You can buy the actone vapor Kit online.. It's a simple device.. Aluminum can with heating.... To produce actone vapors...
@@cetujavu3466 not suddenly. it took a few years to get the education. BTW, the video shows an open flame, which is far from professional level.
Tank's
3 drops acetone and a lot of sanding and polishing
no i to byłby bomba pomysł ale czy na pwno wyjdzie
How many millilitres are in one drop?
Pakai pemberih cat kuku bisa jua.
Which is acetone
Before anyone leaves another stupid commnets...lol.. Professional headlight restore palces uses this methodd..😂 and this kit being sold online..
. this guy just showed you how to make the kit cheaper using red bull can ..straw..and candel..
First of all, you didn't put a single drop of acetone on the headlights. Second, this process is a whole lot more than your misleading, clickbait title.
The vapour from the heated acetone.

It is genius.
Pay attention genius, nowhere does it say anything about putting drops of acetone directly on the headlight. Good God man, use your brain before making stupid comments
Acetone is in the pop can
Судя по рукам ещё что то пробывал😂
УФ защита?... 🤔 Не, не слышал 😁
interesting how he can hold the can while heating it up with fire lol
It is only a lighter, the evaporating acetone will be taking much of the heat away: Latent heat of evaporation.
Essa acetona é aquecida com uma vela? Não vi a chama.
sim em baixo da lata de redbull
If you pizz on them, and use a magic erasure they look like new.
Maybe the acetone vapor just took care of the entrapped moisture after the washing ?
Actone Vapor plastic polishing has been used in many industries
Professional headlight restore places uses This methods... Kit cost less than $20. But will charge you $100+ for the service...
That wasn't just 3 drops of acetone, come on
but a few drops on a rag and wipe it on would have done it, too, I think. Fixed mine by wiping. You just have to clean them well first else when you wipe you might bury dirt or grit in the surface.
Судя по кол-ву отзывов от китайцев, ты им конкретно бизнес испортил :)
❤
Try using a sander it'll be so much quicker
Максимум полгода и всё снова жёлтое. Самое надёжное закрыть лаком у меня на канале всё описано. Сам лично делаю на своих авто.
Quickest way to restore any headlight is to replace them!
Use brake fluid and job done. But don't get it on the paint work or it will lift.
Really
@@mduduzimanyatsi9311really. I did that to mine and now it's bare metal
Защитного слоя нет - очень быстро пожелтеют, в китайской жиже синей есть компонент защищающий от ультрафиолета, а в ацетоне - нет
Я пробовал ацетоном на оргстекле - фигня получается, китайский чайник рулит. После химии обязательно в броню закатывать пока пыль не села.
「垂らしただけ」とは一体・・・？と考えさせられる動画でした。
1 year life time
👍
Selvap!

The whole world knows the headlamp lenses require us spray.
좋은정보 감사드립니다
Heres a fact people you can get a better result wet sanding from 1000 to 5000grit, then using a small 3" rotary polisher with compounds and GOOD quality buffing and polishing pads. Second of all holding a flame under a thin aluminum can with acetone is extremely extremely f**king dangerous. Acetone is more flammable than gasoline. A lot more flammable and i do not recommend this because when it goes it all ignites at once going BOOM!!! exactly like gun powder. I know, i paint and do cerakote for a living and old rags used with acetone have turned my burning barrel into a gigantic shot gun a couple times when i lit it and blowing all the trash straight up in the air 20' then landing all around the 55gal drum that is my burning barrel
А горелкой не проще?
Φιλε ωραιο το βιντεο.Εαν μπορεις βαλε μεταγλωτιση στα Ελληνικα.
Αγαπητέ, η εικόνα μιλάει μόνη της. Το acetone είναι το υγρό που καθαρίζουν το βερνίκι από τα νύχια. Υπάρχει στο εμπόριο παραγγελια από φαρμακεία και σαν καθαριστικό χωρίς χρωστική και αρωμα. Ο τύπος χρησιμοποιεί τον ατμό της ακετόνης σαν καθαριστικό ή σαν φίνις βερνίκι.
Couple of hours all the haziness from the sanding will come back
if acetone wasn't a solvent, this would be correct. acetone is basically melting the plastic lens back to a clear protective coating though.
@@LygerTheCLaw can you just use a hot air gun insted of aceton to melt the plastic smooth.
In Deutschland ist diese Methode (Dampfpolieren) verboten, da sich die Streuung des Lichtes verändert und zur Blendung des Gegenverkehrs führen kann.
In deutschland ist furzen beim kacken auch verboten
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST AFTER YOU DID IT THAT IS THE MAIN POINT????
Non of them last. Use Mothers aluminum polish easy as heck. Last three months depending on the weather
Los Angeles
This method is used by Professionals.. Actone vapor plastic polishing... Just remember to apply UV coating cream
After the treatment...
@@bluesdawg8014this method will outlast your method... Actone vapor plastic polishing has been used in auto industry... and many headlight restore shops uses this method..... But make sure after the treatment.. You apply UV coating cream...or spray.. Which ever you prefer... You can buy the actone vapor Kit under $20... .
Нужно отполировать и покрыть специальным лаком. Это по технологии. А то что на видео, вариант на 6 месяцев, дальше они снова поцарапаются и станут мутными
Всё точно но одно но полировать не нужно будет только хуже.
Полировка не нужна и даже вредна)) Лак всё сделает ))
Вот как заматованную поверхность облить водой, пока не высохнет будет гладкая и блестящая, лак даст такой же эфект только долговременный, а риска нужна чтобы держался хорошо ;)
А как же всего 3 капли ацетона? Так можно и в автосервис отдать.
Ключевое слово как. Ни кто так не делает. Без лака не на долго прозрачность
全然3滴垂らしただけじゃなくて草
Ну и наконец после всех манипуляций на пару тройку тысяч ..три капли ацетона😂
Solvente da danos ao plástico.
Agreed
👍🔥💪🤝
Habrá que ver cuanto duran así
I think also that it was quite odd that you would polish the headlight and then applied the vapor acetone. 😆 Polishing is always something done last in the process but is not usually done when applying the vapor application. So that polishing you did was wack.
con tres gotas acetona y una hora lijando, jajajajaja
А купить нормальную полировочную машинку видно слишком дорого... надо всякие костыли выдумывать
Après avoir poncé au 1500 puis au 2000 et enfin au 3000 (grains introuvables en France) n'importe quel polish de bas de gamme fera l'affaire !
Way to much hassle. Use Mothers aluminum polish for a 5 minute fix 100% easy LOOKS GREAT Los Angeles
All you need to do is Wipe on Mothers aluminum polish with a cloth and wipe off almost right away with a terry cloth or micro fiber towel. You'll be surprised. Very fast. 😁
Только на продажу сойдет.
надолго ???? 2-6 месяцев ???
А не проще купить новую .......... МАШИНУ ?
Einfacher schon. Aber eben deutlich teurer... :-(
Vielleicht einfach mit einem neuen (Satz) Scheinwerfer anfangen...
Де береш ацетон?
It is used to remove nail polish. It's everywhere
CON PASTA DE PULIR DE 3 M SIN TANTO CIRCO.
Yes You're, i use ,,pasta de pulir,, and i recoment that. 500x safer like this and the same result. And of course again after 4 months :D
Acetona mancha
Благодарю
He's using the fumes.
только стекло спасает!!!!!!
3 drops
Обычно меняют машину
This was probably tiring, and took 30 minutes
I would rather sand with 2000 grit orbital sander. And use rubbing compound and a orbital buffer. Would take 5 minutes and less effort
Wouldn't it be easier to just use a heat gun...that brings oils in plastic to the surface. If you dont protect it, it's going to come back
Polish it with the sandpaper, use a regular polish on them, clean with alcohol, and clear coat.
Acetona é o corrosivo do acrílico.
Никогда не делайте так. На пластик нужно нанести защитный лак.
Why don't you just use a buffing machine after sanding ??
It would look 10 x better.
アセトンの蒸気とか、一般人には危険過ぎじゃありません？
