It's not so much they are offended, some of us are professionals and know first-hand that Mother's aluminum polish won't work on most headlight deterioration. At least not long-term since it does not contain any UV properties. But hands down it looks great!!
@@JC-mx1mk my friend we no mothers has no UV protection that's why we use the 303 and this ua-cam.com/video/hD2CKp9mco0/v-deo.html for the ultimate protection :) TY mike

thurm101 I can honestly say this works. I thought for less then $8 what did I have to lose? It's way cheaper then buying new headlights. I even did my taillights.
I didn’t have a electric polisher. But I gave it a try and used a micro fibre cloth to buff the mother’s Polish off. Bit of elbow grease, took about 10 min. Wow amazing, blown away. Thanks, greatest advice ever, can’t wait to see your other tips.
I had a plastic skylight that looked just like your demo car headlights. I decided to give your tip a try. WOW! What a difference. Thanks for the great tip!
did this this morning to wife's Lexus and what a difference, I bought all those other kits but this is by far the fastest and easiest way. thank you for introducing me to 303
Just did this with my 2010 Toyota Yaris! OMGOODNESS they were so completely yellow covered, you just couldn’t even make out the lights behind them. This worked so well! Some things I discovered though is since I’m a small framed female handling that large buffer took practice! My headlights were so bad off that it took about three applications on each headlight, but so proud of myself for accomplishing the task, and so grateful for your experience,guidance, and expertise to get both headlights done in 20 minutes flat! YAYYY!!! Thank you so much again!
Me too! 52 mom of Twins & a 17 year old. LOL! Doing it myself! My daughter is driving my old Honda & I'm going to teach her how to restore her headlights after I do mine;)
jonathan rodriguez thank you so much for those great comments it makes it all worth it for all the time and effort it takes to do these videos to help great people like yourself please share our channel if you get a chance thank you again
I'm so glad I found this channel. I have restored my dash cover, my leather seats and now I just finished restoring my headlights. Thank you sir for posting honest videos that work.
Just did this on my 2001 996 yellowing “fried eggs” and it worked to get the yellow out. Definitely quick and easy. Can’t compare to the multi step sanding and then polishing since I’ve never tried it but I can definitely say they look better if not “perfect”. But sometimes “better” is good enough. Thanks for the tip! Cheers
Was inspired to try this. Got the Mothers Aluminium polish today ($16 AUD) and used my drill gun and rotary buffing pad. Both headlights on my car were lightly oxidised and hazy, all around each visor. Took longer than 3 minutes because I took the time to mask off the adjacent panels and wipe the headlights at various times to check progress before continuing on. Let me tell you, this really worked. No sanding at all. Took me 30 minutes to do both headlights. I'd never go back to sanding these ever again and I certainly wouldn't pay anyone else to do it. This works!
BAM it works and did with 3 coats on each headlight Restoration. Thank you!!!!! I have tried just about everything I could but nothing has worked until I saw your video then give it a try. Sure enough it WORKS!!!! Save me money which I'm just about to ordering me the new headlights.
I just did this an works mint , they do headlight resto from $45 , I bought everything for under $30 , and thanks to this legend I now know how to fish 👍thanks heaps
I finally bit the bullet and cleaned up my headlights using this process. Mixed results for me but I think that's user error, so I've learned a lot! First headlight I didn't keep moving the polisher enough so heated up a small spot on the headlight too much so it burned slightly....second headlight looks amazing, so thanks for the amazing video :)
I have watched about every video on restoring headlights. After watching your video I decided to give your method a try. My light were so bad they wouldn't pass inspection.I bought a $5 can of the Mothers Mag & Aluminum and an applicator for $1.50. I decided to try it by applying the polish using a little elbow grease instead of a drill. After a total of 30 minutes for both headlights, they look almost new. Fantastic idea, Thanks
Just bought a 97 Acura 2 days ago, headlights in sorry shape. Foggy and someone sprayed black something to dim the sides of the light array. Found you at sunset, found my Mother's and a rag and gave it a go for about 10 mins on each. All elbow grease, and the current results are great. It's even thinning the black over-spray. I have more elbow grease for when I have daylight again. Thank You, you Rock!
i have tried EVERYTHING tooth paste rubbing compound wd40 sanding very frustrating then i see this MAMA repairs headlight so what the heck i go buy a buffer 10amp verispeed buffer pads and some mothers as i was putting the mothers on i was thinking NO WAY well i took the buffer to it and WAY ! THANK YOU THANK YOU works like a champ really and yes mind is blown i keep going out and lookin at my silverados shiny headlights i cant believe it!!!! thanks again
I will definitely try this on my dad's car. I've been looking into using the different grit wet sanding route but you sir has given me a better path :)
This method is the bomb! My daughter's car headlights were actually yellow, and your method made them clear as a bell! Much mahalo for passing on the knowledge.
One of my favorite UA-cam videos. Right to the point. Very informative. And this works very very well. I have had success using a micro fiber bonnet on my polisher but definitely recommend the waffle style foam pad so as to minimize the heat issue. I used to wet sand headlights to restore them. Not anymore. This just kicks ass
I’m near 70 & just did mine 2 days ago before I saw your vid. I did use the Sylvania kit, no tools, great results. It included everything needed, polish & finishing w clear coat. I love 303 products. After doing mine I better understand the problem. Now that the coat has cured, I’ll protect them w 303. Your info is great. Thank you.
Wow, now THIS is a useful video: short, I didn't have to listen to 30 minutes of constant yapping, shows me exactly what to do, and now I can go watch a movie and relax for a while. Wish I'd found this video before the three others I watched that went on and on, used multiple grits of sandpaper, and required masking and waiting 24 hours and all sorts of other crap. Subscribing!
WOW!!!! I can't believe how well this worked! I work in a parts store so I had some of this on the shelf. I didn't think to take before pictures but I can honestly say that I am flabbergasted!!!!! Thank you so much for this.
Ive just walked by my 2007 AMG Mercedes in which i used your method of rotational automotive buff & Mothers wheel polish & abit of water that I did about 6 months ago. MAN! This method rocks! I haven't applied anything else to it except a bath now & again, & it stills looks brand new. Good onya man 👍 & thanks very much for the tip..
I buy and sell cars... your detailing tricks and easy to follow videos will help me save a ton of time and money on detailing. which will help me make more money. God bless you for sharing your wisdom and experience with all of us!
dutch971 I'm in San Bernardino County. Sorry I don't have website I don't sell that many cars it's just something I do on the side from time to time. if you're in the area let me know.
First did this trick back in the early 90's but it was to the windscreen on a kawasaki 750 turbo! Came out looking new and i still use this trick on my odyssey today!
Just restored headlights of a 1999 Jeep in minutes doing this! Seriously takes 1/10 of the time I used to spend with sand paper. You are a great man for sharing this!
I'M SO HAPPY I FOUND YOU!! I'M A 55 YR. WOMAN ON A BUDGET, NOW I CAN GIVE MY CAR SOME MUCH NEEDED TLC. !! I WAS PLANNING TO WASH IT TODAY OR TOMORROW, I SAW YOUR OTHER VIDEO ABOUT CLEANING THE SEAT! AND YOU DID AN GREAT JOB WITH THE CHEAP PRODUCTS, I SAID TO MYSELF LET ME CHECK OUT THE OTHER VIDEOS... YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... THANKS AGAIN FOR LOOKING OUT FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME ON A BUDGET.. YOU HAVE A NEW SUBSCRIBER !!
Had to replace drivers headlight assembly in my mom's '13 GMC Acadia Denali due to a jacked-up socket. (Yes probably my fault). Therefore the passenger side looked worse than its age. I followed the steps here on 12/28/23 and what an amazing result! Simply incredible. Even the smallest pitting was removed. Going back over it tomorrow. The LEDs are back to white as opposed to an amber color due to the yellowing. Need to locate the 303. Thank you for your video and saving me an additional $1400!!!
Thanks so much!! I did my infinity m35 2006 headlights! One was brand new , so the other one looked like crap!! 😱 I tried different things , & none was as fast or good as this one!! I really appreciate it!! Keep up the good work, I became a new subscriber!
I can't believe it. THIS WORKED INCREDIBLY WELL! Just posted before and after pictures to Reddit and mentioned your channel. I tried everything. I can't believe it. You just saved me $200 on new headlight assemblies.
What's Happening Captain? I purchased the "Mother's product" Proceeded to apply it to my headlights. Using good old fashion "elbow grease" Because I don't have a buffer. The RESULT WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!
That’s awesome to hear Michael little elbow grease never heard anybody lol that shows it can be done, look at it this way, it’s good exercise good job my friend
Captain, my headlights was horrific!!! I had to sand, the oxidation was super heavy. Once I finished sanding , Mother's polish came through like a Champion!!!
We watched your video and thankfully we had the Mothers mag polish, unfortunately we couldn't find our buffing pad (5 sons). Husband used good old elbow grease, turned out beautiful!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Just tried this on my 2013 Toyota Tacoma. It works. Not quite as fast as it looks, but in total time with getting tools out and putting this away. Took about an hour. No biggie. I used a foam pad on my drill, made two passes on each light and finished up with a soft buffer pad and a couple of coats of McGuires UV headlight protectant. I already had the Mother’s. Great stuff. Headlights don’t look like they just came out of the showroom. But they are clear and bright. 👍
Great to hear! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your fantastic results, we really appreciate it, hope you have a sweeeeet week my friend. mad Mike & team
I'm digging my mother's aluminum polish out of the garage as soon as possible. I don't feel like taping, sanding, rubbing & smoothing and jerking the lamps off for three hours ' . Great news can't wait to try it ! 😉👍😎🇺🇸
I used mothers mag and aluminum polish on my friends very yellow headlights. Didn't even use a drill or dremel or any rotary device. Just a foam pad and paper towel to buff the excess off. Worked great on it and makes a huge difference just with some elbow grease.
Just used this system to buff out the head lights on my 2012 Honda CR-V and I must say it worked like a charm. Coated the lenses with the 303 and they almost look brand new. Saved me over 200 bucks on replacement headlight assemblies.
I used a pre packed kit when I 1st bought my AMG 6years ago, & the sanding back all the old clear coating properly sweating my R's off for about 3 hours, then the application of the clear coating didn't take long & I was wrapped with them looking brand new. Once a year I hit them with a buff & wax that kept them decent, but this last year I just wasn't happy with them anymore'. So was ready to do this major crappy job all over again, or spend 70 bux with a 2 step Maguires kit. Then I saw your video & this morning I went outside, grabbed my 3/4 tin of Mothers, & my buff, & in less than 10 minutes they have turned my lights better than they ever had, (brand new). Thanks so much for passing this knowledge on, & whoever passed it on to you! I Mothers sealed ,& glazed them, then Mother's Carnauba Waxed them, and am stoked with how perfect they are. Thanks again man, I owe you a beer.
Peace Peas thank you very much, we are glad to help,.and we actually came up with this method after the struggles you mentioned...the torture of doing them with sandpaper and all the steps and hours... we decided to find a better way and hence the video you just viewed :)
So thankful I found your channel! I have an 08 Honda, my headlights were the worst, I’ve spent $100’s over the past years TRYING to restore them with no luck. After watching you, I invested in a few products and HOLY COW , my headlights are crystal clear in no time at all! 🙏🏾 My only problem was, I was so excited, I didn’t take pictures before! 🤦🏽♀️ Thank you for sharing your secrets!
You made it look so simple and effective there is toothpaste there is compound of polish in different Sam papers and you're absolutely correct everyone's got aluminium polish in Australia we call it Alto soul inner tube who would have guessed that's all you need thanks mate thumbs up great video
Thank you so much. Worked awesome. I didn't have a buffer, so I just rubbed it with a cloth for about 10 minutes. What a difference. Amazing. A million thank you.
I just tried this on my ‘95 Town Car and the results were amazing. I liked it so much I also did my ‘03 Honda Odyssey and that turned out great also. If time and money is short this is an excellent alternative. Thanks!!!
Thank you, thank you! My car is running well but looking older. These tips really help me baby it even though I have no garage to keep it in. I almost died two years ago because I was on a highway going through 5 mountain passes in the dark. My headlights were so cloudy they barely put out light. I have't dared drive at night since but I might try it tonight just to see :)
Wowwwwwww!!! I am SO happy! Having spent a lot of money in the past for various products, this + 303 protectant is the best and quickest and cheapest I've seen to date. Can't wait to try it!
Awesome Video. I have had this same exact can of Mothers product sitting on my garage shelf for 15 years because quite frankly, it is not a great product for aluminum wheels, but man, does it ever work on headlights. Who knew. Thank you!
I have a 95 chevy k 1500 with extremely cloudy headlights. I was getting ready to order replacements when I came across this video. I had my doubts about this fix but figured I would give it a shot since I already have the mothers polish and small buffing pads. To my surprise it did an amazing job compared to what they originally looked like. They are not perfect but vastly better then before I did this. Thanks for the tip.
Wooooow....and I'm like the countless others that say what the hell thinking I need to purchase a million different grits of sandpaper and a million hours of time according to the other videos....can't wait to try this...THANX!!!
Vyper Z thats great to hear my friend now to keep them looking awesome for years see this ua-cam.com/video/hD2CKp9mco0/v-deo.html hope this helps you my friend :)
Finally a tip that tells it the way it is. This is what you need, what you have to do and how to do it. For once a good UA-cam video which does exactly what it says on the tin. Good job.
Just watched this video with about 15min before i had to leave for work and realized i had all this stuff in my garage so I gave it a go real quick and 😲 it worked! My 09 acura mdx headlights look new! Thanks man!!
This was the first of your videos that I watched quite awhile ago. I’m so happy I finally broke down and bought the right tools to make this project and future others possible. Thanks so much for making these videos, plus including the shopping lists. You guys rock!!
I came across your channel I believe it was the video on restoring worn leather your videos move quickly are not boring and are extremely informative I subscribed immediately and your videos never let me down I am a car guy and thought I knew it all until I came across your channel thanks
I tried this with the good old elbow grease mother aluminum polish and a soft dish washing pad and it still worked it’s been six months now.. thanks for the amazing tip.
I just did this on the cloudy looking headlights of my 2006 Sonata. I used the Mothers polish and a buffer pad on a cordless impact wrench with a drill adapter. Took about 3 mins per headlight. Finished it up with the 303. Looks Amazing!
Agree! Only reason I ended up purchasing new headlights was that the ones on my maxima were customized by the previous owner & the inner custom pieces used were falling out of place. I didn’t want to place them in the over to un-glue them then to refit the parts. Think I’m going to treat my rear lights next
No kidding. I had tried other polishing compounds I have and mothers or silver polish does the Very Best! Then I used a good wax and hasn't done it again. I felt it needed with a good wax and proved right ..
Thank you for sharing this product, It shined up my lenses without any issue. The SPARKLE! I have a 2013 Prius and just under 75k miles, the headlights were clear with a little bit of road and Florida weather, tree pollen & grime, this product worked to make them Sparkle, going to try to clear up my husband's 04' Toyota Corolla lenses now .
@@SweetProjectCars I want to follow up with you to tell you I snuck out after dinner last night and wiped some of my Mother's Mag & Aluminum on the lens of my husband's 2004 Corolla and also the Bumper lamps and I manually with a bit of elbow grease and a white Microfiber buffing pad and I followed up with a clean soft blue Microfiber pad and they are crystal clear! I'm hear to say it took all the Nasty dirty haze off, My husband leaves for work in the early morning and I can't wait to see what he thinks, lol Thanks so my friend, Mad Mike @ Sweet Project Cars!!!
Amazing result, just ran into this and I have subscribed. I’d still tape it off on a customer car but respect your call not too. I’d also use a 3 in pad for better control with less risk of hitting something I don’t want to polish with that compound. My little 2 cents. Here on Maui we run into buckets of bad lights.
I had a Maguires kit I bought two years ago and never used because it looked like a pain. I finally watched a video on it to see someone else using it and found some kid using the Mother's mag and aluminum polish and couldn't believe how easy it was. I went out and bought the stuff, rubbed it in and did it again and did both lenses in fifteen minutes using a microfiber cloth to apply and remove. They look brand new. Glad to see your video using a drill. That'd be way easier.
Hi a BIG THANK YOU FROM THE UK thank you my 2006 suzuki ignis failed the mot cloudy headlights ,2 new lights £345,ER NO !!!looked on you tube found you guys THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU XXX 10 mins job done NIGHT AND DAY total cost buying the pads and mothers paste £14.99 THANK YOU JOB DONE .
I just bought a 2000 Mercedes Benz E430 for $350.00. Headlights are very very yellow. I'm gonna give this a try as soon as I can get to the store and get some polish. Thank you. You'r videos are always too the point, and that's what I like.
WOW, heck yeah, "us gals" you got my vote. We girls need real simple instructions, so thanks. Also appreciate you spending the time to write up and furnish all the links. Excellent video:) Subscriber from Florida.
@@SweetProjectCars SORRY help again! I don't have the electric thing. Will hand sanding work? I already bought the 3m kit at O'Reillys, joke. Not doing anything, no polish or anything in there.
You can, but you better have a 5 gallon bucket of elbow grease and a few extra hours to complete the process. Thanks for asking. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Incredible! I just did my Toyota Avensis headlights and they look like new again! I just rubbed it in and polished it by hand with a microfiber polish pad. Ok, i am sweating...but the result is realy worth it! Took me about half an hour all together. I first went to a headlight repair specialist and they told me that most of it was on the inside of the headlight and they could not do much. Then i went to my dealer and they said, we need to sand them completely and then recoat them again. Would have cost me 65 Euro per headlight. Total costs now was 30 Euro! Thnx a looooot this great tip!!!
I tried this with Mothers polish and a cheap microfiber rag from "Wallie-World" and achieved similar results! I was amazed at how fast this worked even with just a rag in the rain. $4 well spent 😂 Thank you! I can't wait to try it with an actual buffer lol
Good deal glad to hear that it worked for you it’s an awesome process you can make some seriously good money doing it for other people specially if you have the tools we use
Glad I scrolled down and found this post! Though I did not have Mothers. I do have an aluminum polish. Also don't have a polisher. I did use a softer polishing wheel on my cordless with my aluminum polish. 3 minutes my daughters headlight is clear again! Thanks for a useful, simple, quick fix!
Hey I just watched another video with all the sanding papers to restore a headlight. Your instruction is by far the best with better and faster results. Thank you.
Glad it helped Christian! Thank you so much for the view and comment, we truly appreciate it, hope you have a great weekend my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I’m very impressed! I got two questions though: 1- Will it stay for a long time? Like a year for example? If yes, 2- How many times do I need to clean up my headlights? Daily? Once every 2 weeks? Or what?
Bedaywee Alhomayyani it lasts for years with when using this amzn.to/2zTBRms once every 3 months and if you want the best headlights do this ua-cam.com/video/hD2CKp9mco0/v-deo.html my friend
I tried alot of the headlight restorers out there. Even the ones you just use a buffer and apply it. If even used Turtle wax headlight restorer and it cleaned it up somewhat but, within a day or so it was back to how it was. I came accross this video and man I was shocked! Today I went to Advanced Auto and bought some. I didn't have a buffer or the money to spend $25 dollars on a kit so I used a new Wax buffing pad. It's not as aggressive but, it's all I had. I taped the paint around the headlight, cleaned the headlight with glass cleaner and then applied a thin coat to the headlight. Buffed the product into the headlight for about a good 2 mins and then wiped off. I had to repeat it a second time which helped immensely! When I wiped the headlight off with a microfiber towel I said " We'll I'll be damned, it worked!" Went and showed my wife and she couldn't believe it! Thank you so much for this video and every other one you have made. You have helped so many people!
Ok I just bought the exact one you used and I will be doing this to my car tomorrow thanks for responding and for all you’re great videos all very helpful and straightforward 👍

Was inspired to try this. Got the Mothers Aluminium polish today ($16 AUD) and used my drill gun and rotary buffing pad. Both headlights on my car were lightly oxidised and hazy, all around each visor. Took longer than 3 minutes because I took the time to mask off the adjacent panels and wipe the headlights at various times to check progress before continuing on. Let me tell you, this really worked. No sanding at all. Took me 30 minutes to do both headlights. I'd never go back to sanding these ever again and I certainly wouldn't pay anyone else to do it. This works!
Arthur that's great to hear and thankyou for your testimony :) thank you very much for the great comment and we appreciate you being here with us...:)
how long does it last
BAM it works and did with 3 coats on each headlight Restoration. Thank you!!!!! I have tried just about everything I could but nothing has worked until I saw your video then give it a try. Sure enough it WORKS!!!! Save me money which I'm just about to ordering me the new headlights.
C. glad to hear it worked great for you and thank you very much...and for the great comment, we are glad you are here with us :)
C. Diane Johnson did you try wet sanding?
I just did this an works mint , they do headlight resto from $45 , I bought everything for under $30 , and thanks to this legend I now know how to fish 👍thanks heaps
jon p and just think you may be able to do a friend or family members lights and pick up a 20 spot for doing them :)
I finally bit the bullet and cleaned up my headlights using this process. Mixed results for me but I think that's user error, so I've learned a lot! First headlight I didn't keep moving the polisher enough so heated up a small spot on the headlight too much so it burned slightly....second headlight looks amazing, so thanks for the amazing video :)
I have watched about every video on restoring headlights. After watching your video I decided to give your method a try. My light were so bad they wouldn't pass inspection.I bought a $5 can of the Mothers Mag & Aluminum and an applicator for $1.50. I decided to try it by applying the polish using a little elbow grease instead of a drill. After a total of 30 minutes for both headlights, they look almost new. Fantastic idea, Thanks
Awesome, Ken!! Glad to help. Thank you for sharing and being here with us my friend. Happy New Year. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Just bought a 97 Acura 2 days ago, headlights in sorry shape.
Foggy and someone sprayed black something to dim the sides of the light array.
Found you at sunset, found my Mother's and a rag and gave it a go for about 10 mins on each.
All elbow grease, and the current results are great.
It's even thinning the black over-spray.
I have more elbow grease for when I have daylight again.
Thank You, you Rock!
Dawn thank you very much glad to hear that and elbow grease will work well if you’ve got enough of it good job
i have tried EVERYTHING tooth paste rubbing compound wd40 sanding very frustrating then i see this MAMA repairs headlight so what the heck i go buy a buffer 10amp verispeed buffer pads and some mothers as i was putting the mothers on i was thinking NO WAY well i took the buffer to it and WAY ! THANK YOU THANK YOU works like a champ really and yes mind is blown i keep going out and lookin at my silverados shiny headlights i cant believe it!!!! thanks again
Chuck thank you, very much for the great and kind comments, we are very glad you are here with us :)
How long does it last?
@@ashleyedwards9424 it last for years if you use the UV conditioner shown in the SHOW MORE of the video description :) TY Mike
sir can i use a electric drill i dont have a buffer
This really works, even doing it by hand without the buffing wheels will make a huge difference!
Glad to hear!! Thank you so much for watching and sharing, we truly appreciate it PJ! Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I will definitely try this on my dad's car. I've been looking into using the different grit wet sanding route but you sir has given me a better path :)
This method is the bomb! My daughter's car headlights were actually yellow, and your method made them clear as a bell! Much mahalo for passing on the knowledge.
Great to hear Rico!! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your awesome results. Hope you have a fantastic day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
One of my favorite UA-cam videos. Right to the point. Very informative. And this works very very well. I have had success using a micro fiber bonnet on my polisher but definitely recommend the waffle style foam pad so as to minimize the heat issue. I used to wet sand headlights to restore them. Not anymore. This just kicks ass
Thank you very much, our pleasure to help! Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I’m near 70 & just did mine 2 days ago before I saw your vid.
I did use the Sylvania kit, no tools, great results. It included everything needed, polish & finishing w clear coat.
I love 303 products.
After doing mine I better understand the problem.
Now that the coat has cured, I’ll protect them w 303.
Your info is great.
Thank you.
Wow, now THIS is a useful video: short, I didn't have to listen to 30 minutes of constant yapping, shows me exactly what to do, and now I can go watch a movie and relax for a while. Wish I'd found this video before the three others I watched that went on and on, used multiple grits of sandpaper, and required masking and waiting 24 hours and all sorts of other crap. Subscribing!
Glad to have yo with us Violet :) we are known for getting right to the project without a bunch of yaking, thanks for the great comment!
Amazing the doofuses that don’t know how to get to point!
WOW!!!! I can't believe how well this worked! I work in a parts store so I had some of this on the shelf. I didn't think to take before pictures but I can honestly say that I am flabbergasted!!!!! Thank you so much for this.

How long did it stay clear for you?
Ive just walked by my 2007 AMG Mercedes in which i used your method of rotational automotive buff & Mothers wheel polish & abit of water that I did about 6 months ago. MAN! This method rocks! I haven't applied anything else to it except a bath now & again, & it stills looks brand new. Good onya man 👍 & thanks very much for the tip..

+Sweet Project Cars can i use hand power?
You guys rock - just did this using the manual elbow grease method - what a huge difference. Thanks heaps
Spyda, how long did it take ? Approximately
First did this trick back in the early 90's but it was to the windscreen on a kawasaki 750 turbo! Came out looking new and i still use this trick on my odyssey today!
Just restored headlights of a 1999 Jeep in minutes doing this! Seriously takes 1/10 of the time I used to spend with sand paper. You are a great man for sharing this!
thank you very much :) glad to have you with us :)

No bullshit or hours of work
Great job done.
Thanks a bunch Clarence we do appreciate it.

Had to replace drivers headlight assembly in my mom's '13 GMC Acadia Denali due to a jacked-up socket. (Yes probably my fault). Therefore the passenger side looked worse than its age. I followed the steps here on 12/28/23 and what an amazing result! Simply incredible. Even the smallest pitting was removed. Going back over it tomorrow. The LEDs are back to white as opposed to an amber color due to the yellowing. Need to locate the 303. Thank you for your video and saving me an additional $1400!!!
Thanks so much!!
I did my infinity m35 2006 headlights! One was brand new , so the other one looked like crap!! 😱 I tried different things , & none was as fast or good as this one!! I really appreciate it!! Keep up the good work, I became a new subscriber!
awesome Manuel glad to have you
I can't believe it. THIS WORKED INCREDIBLY WELL!
Just posted before and after pictures to Reddit and mentioned your channel. I tried everything. I can't believe it. You just saved me $200 on new headlight assemblies.
Joshxt thank you so very much
@@SweetProjectCars definitely! sent lots of folks your way. Would you recommend any kind of coating to prevent this sort of build up?
Joshxt i would do this to make them last for years and years ua-cam.com/video/hD2CKp9mco0/v-deo.html
What's Happening Captain?
I purchased the "Mother's product"
Proceeded to apply it to my headlights. Using good old fashion "elbow grease" Because I don't have a buffer. The RESULT WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!
That’s awesome to hear Michael little elbow grease never heard anybody lol that shows it can be done, look at it this way, it’s good exercise good job my friend
Sweet Project Cars
As my Aunt Josephine said "It aches my hand but it eases my heart!!!" Elbow grease is Good!!!
hha i was about to ask if this could be done by hand with a sponge since i don't have a polisher..
Sweet Project Cars sorry I had to it it's hurt not heard. Lol. I kill words also, but I caught that one.
Captain, my headlights was horrific!!! I had to sand, the oxidation was super heavy. Once I finished sanding , Mother's polish came through like a Champion!!!
We watched your video and thankfully we had the Mothers mag polish, unfortunately we couldn't find our buffing pad (5 sons). Husband used good old elbow grease, turned out beautiful!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Linda Shelton thats great to hear we could help and thanks for the great comment :))
What kind of cloth did you use without the buffer?
@@charliejones7585 yes Great question, how to do it by hand please peeps? What cloth works best?
Michael Paterson low GSM microfiber lol they have a more grittier texture
I think I used too much grease 😳
It came right out. Was astonished with the results, cant believe I did it all in 10 minutes. The results are like night to day. Thanks!!!
Thank you Jonathan glad to hear that have a great weekend my friend
Wow it really works, I did it in my Honda Odyssey and looks like new, thanks man You save me at least $200 👊🏼
thats great to hear serg thanks for the great comments and thanks for being here with us :)
I did this and was amazed at the quick results. Thanks SPC's oh and I picked up som 303 UV protectant and they look awesome.
with the use of 303 once in a while it last for years
Just fixed my daughters 2006 Honda Accord headlights. They look great. Thanks!
How long did it stay clear for you?
You have no idea how much money and time you saved me. Thank you for posting such a useful video. Btw, I’m a brand new subscriber.
Just tried this on my 2013 Toyota Tacoma. It works. Not quite as fast as it looks, but in total time with getting tools out and putting this away. Took about an hour. No biggie. I used a foam pad on my drill, made two passes on each light and finished up with a soft buffer pad and a couple of coats of McGuires UV headlight protectant. I already had the Mother’s. Great stuff. Headlights don’t look like they just came out of the showroom. But they are clear and bright. 👍
Great to hear! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your fantastic results, we really appreciate it, hope you have a sweeeeet week my friend. mad Mike & team
I'm digging my mother's aluminum polish out of the garage as soon as possible. I don't feel like taping, sanding, rubbing & smoothing and jerking the lamps off for three hours ' . Great news can't wait to try it ! 😉👍😎🇺🇸
Nice, you will love the results Toniche! Thanks for watching and sharing, we appreciate it. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I used mothers mag and aluminum polish on my friends very yellow headlights. Didn't even use a drill or dremel or any rotary device. Just a foam pad and paper towel to buff the excess off. Worked great on it and makes a huge difference just with some elbow grease.
Good to hear that smart thinking and with a little effort you have shown people that anything can be done have a great day mad Mike sweet project cars
Just used this system to buff out the head lights on my 2012 Honda CR-V and I must say it worked like a charm. Coated the lenses with the 303 and they almost look brand new. Saved me over 200 bucks on replacement headlight assemblies.
Good deal Thom so glad we could help you save that kind of money have a great day my friend
Literally my jaw dropped, You are a boatload of help thank you!
Glad we could help you Karl! Have a great day, and thanks for being here with us! mad Mike the hammer SPC
I used a pre packed kit when I 1st bought my AMG 6years ago, & the sanding back all the old clear coating properly sweating my R's off for about 3 hours, then the application of the clear coating didn't take long & I was wrapped with them looking brand new. Once a year I hit them with a buff & wax that kept them decent, but this last year I just wasn't happy with them anymore'. So was ready to do this major crappy job all over again, or spend 70 bux with a 2 step Maguires kit. Then I saw your video & this morning I went outside, grabbed my 3/4 tin of Mothers, & my buff, & in less than 10 minutes they have turned my lights better than they ever had, (brand new). Thanks so much for passing this knowledge on, & whoever passed it on to you! I Mothers sealed ,& glazed them, then Mother's Carnauba Waxed them, and am stoked with how perfect they are. Thanks again man, I owe you a beer.
Peace Peas thank you very much, we are glad to help,.and we actually came up with this method after the struggles you mentioned...the torture of doing them with sandpaper and all the steps and hours... we decided to find a better way and hence the video you just viewed :)
So thankful I found your channel! I have an 08 Honda, my headlights were the worst, I’ve spent $100’s over the past years TRYING to restore them with no luck. After watching you, I invested in a few products and HOLY COW , my headlights are crystal clear in no time at all! 🙏🏾
My only problem was, I was so excited, I didn’t take pictures before! 🤦🏽♀️
Thank you for sharing your secrets!
Good deal glad we could help
Been doing this for years now on people's cars and it blows there mind how easy it is! Great video!
thank you david
Sweet Project Cars will this work if ive already tried the sanding down method?
YES BUT ! You Will Have To Sand It With 1500 Or 2000 Grit IF It Is Really Scratched Up...If Not Then Hit The Living Tar Out Of It will metal polish
if you do that can you get acetone or alcohol to remove oils from the wax to clear coat for a forever shine
How does the grill goes in the yellow 5717
You made it look so simple and effective there is toothpaste there is compound of polish in different Sam papers and you're absolutely correct everyone's got aluminium polish in Australia we call it Alto soul inner tube who would have guessed that's all you need thanks mate thumbs up great video
Thank you so much. Worked awesome. I didn't have a buffer, so I just rubbed it with a cloth for about 10 minutes. What a difference. Amazing. A million thank you.

How well did they hold up?
I just tried this on my ‘95 Town Car and the results were amazing. I liked it so much I also did my ‘03 Honda Odyssey and that turned out great also. If time and money is short this is an excellent alternative. Thanks!!!

Thank you, thank you! My car is running well but looking older. These tips really help me baby it even though I have no garage to keep it in.
I almost died two years ago because I was on a highway going through 5 mountain passes in the dark. My headlights were so cloudy they barely put out light. I have't dared drive at night since but I might try it tonight just to see :)

Victor you will love the results of this my friend thank you very much for being here with us.
Sweet ! Just ordered some mama's to get my lights fixed. Cheers that man
Awesome Video. I have had this same exact can of Mothers product sitting on my garage shelf for 15 years because quite frankly, it is not a great product for aluminum wheels, but man, does it ever work on headlights. Who knew. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing and watching Al! It really does work doesn't it! Happy New Year. mad Mike the hammer SPC
This video's like two years old, but I just tried it on my son's 2000 Ford Taurus. 10 minutes and the headlight looks new. Thank you!!
Thank you Rick we appreciate that glad it worked for you
I have a 95 chevy k 1500 with extremely cloudy headlights. I was getting ready to order replacements when I came across this video. I had my doubts about this fix but figured I would give it a shot since I already have the mothers polish and small buffing pads. To my surprise it did an amazing job compared to what they originally looked like. They are not perfect but vastly better then before I did this. Thanks for the tip.
Wooooow....and I'm like the countless others that say what the hell thinking I need to purchase a million different grits of sandpaper and a million hours of time according to the other videos....can't wait to try this...THANX!!!
You nailed it Jamal !!!! you don't NEED ALL THAT JUNK just some Mothers and a buffer BAM DUN !!! Glad to have you aboard!
What about UV protection..Prob should spray with some clear as it will be cloudy again in a month or so?
Robert Elmo he said he'd put 303 on it after, maybe that's for the UV protection?
yep
yes it is thanks unknown and we say in the video to use 303 AreoSpace UV protectant or something similar
I just used this technique and I had awesome results. Thanks for this video. 5 to 10 minutes and the headlights look new.
Vyper Z thats great to hear my friend now to keep them looking awesome for years see this ua-cam.com/video/hD2CKp9mco0/v-deo.html hope this helps you my friend :)

Is that a plastic or glass headlight? sounds like you said not plastic at the end.
these are plastic i wish they still made glass though

I used the Mothers on my G35 headlights and even after a car wash, it looks great. 👍
GOD BLESS YOU. I’m going do my headlights, my moms, my dads, and my mawmaws!! Why the hell not!
I just did this on the cloudy looking headlights of my 2006 Sonata. I used the Mothers polish and a buffer pad on a cordless impact wrench with a drill adapter. Took about 3 mins per headlight. Finished it up with the 303. Looks Amazing!
Good deal glad to hear that my friend glad we could help
Thanks! This worked great on a 2001 Honda Accord. I used a cordless drill for the buffing, at 400 rpm.
good deal this works on many that are not to bad
the aftermarket headlight companies are NOT going to like this video
Agree! Only reason I ended up purchasing new headlights was that the ones on my maxima were customized by the previous owner & the inner custom pieces used were falling out of place. I didn’t want to place them in the over to un-glue them then to refit the parts. Think I’m going to treat my rear lights next
awakepatriot that’s not how the market works and unlikely the “headlight companies” will be affected.
No kidding.
I had tried other polishing compounds I have and mothers or silver polish does the Very Best! Then I used a good wax and hasn't done it again.
I felt it needed with a good wax and proved right ..

Thank you for sharing this product, It shined up my lenses without any issue. The SPARKLE! I have a 2013 Prius and just under 75k miles, the headlights were clear with a little bit of road and Florida weather, tree pollen & grime, this product worked to make them Sparkle, going to try to clear up my husband's 04' Toyota Corolla lenses now .

@@SweetProjectCars I want to follow up with you to tell you I snuck out after dinner last night and wiped some of my Mother's Mag & Aluminum on the lens of my husband's 2004 Corolla and also the Bumper lamps and I manually with a bit of elbow grease and a white Microfiber buffing pad and I followed up with a clean soft blue Microfiber pad and they are crystal clear! I'm hear to say it took all the Nasty dirty haze off, My husband leaves for work in the early morning and I can't wait to see what he thinks, lol Thanks so my friend, Mad Mike @ Sweet Project Cars!!!
Amazing result, just ran into this and I have subscribed. I’d still tape it off on a customer car but respect your call not too. I’d also use a 3 in pad for better control with less risk of hitting something I don’t want to polish with that compound. My little 2 cents. Here on Maui we run into buckets of bad lights.
glad to have you with us my friend
You're a life saver bro. My 06 Accord definitely needs this.
I had a Maguires kit I bought two years ago and never used because it looked like a pain. I finally watched a video on it to see someone else using it and found some kid using the Mother's mag and aluminum polish and couldn't believe how easy it was. I went out and bought the stuff, rubbed it in and did it again and did both lenses in fifteen minutes using a microfiber cloth to apply and remove. They look brand new. Glad to see your video using a drill. That'd be way easier.

@@SweetProjectCars SORRY help again! I don't have the electric thing. Will hand sanding work? I already bought the 3m kit at O'Reillys, joke. Not doing anything, no polish or anything in there.
You can, but you better have a 5 gallon bucket of elbow grease and a few extra hours to complete the process. Thanks for asking. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Incredible! I just did my Toyota Avensis headlights and they look like new again!
I just rubbed it in and polished it by hand with a microfiber polish pad. Ok, i am sweating...but the result is realy worth it!
Took me about half an hour all together.
I first went to a headlight repair specialist and they told me that most of it was on the inside of the headlight and they could not do much.
Then i went to my dealer and they said, we need to sand them completely and then recoat them again. Would have cost me 65 Euro per headlight.
Total costs now was 30 Euro!
Thnx a looooot this great tip!!!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing, we appreciate it. Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Sweet Project Cars, i now also did the UV protection with 303.
Lets see how long it lasts...
Have a great day also!
Grtz from The Netherlands.
I tried this with Mothers polish and a cheap microfiber rag from "Wallie-World" and achieved similar results! I was amazed at how fast this worked even with just a rag in the rain. $4 well spent 😂 Thank you! I can't wait to try it with an actual buffer lol
Good deal glad to hear that it worked for you it’s an awesome process you can make some seriously good money doing it for other people specially if you have the tools we use
Mothers is the truth!!
I mirror polish guns watches shit any piece of metal I can get my hands on using a Dremel and polishing wheels.
you know it Black g50
Glad I scrolled down and found this post! Though I did not have Mothers. I do have an aluminum polish. Also don't have a polisher. I did use a softer polishing wheel on my cordless with my aluminum polish. 3 minutes my daughters headlight is clear again! Thanks for a useful, simple, quick fix!

I’m very impressed! I got two questions though:
1- Will it stay for a long time? Like a year for example? If yes,
2- How many times do I need to clean up my headlights? Daily? Once every 2 weeks? Or what?
Bedaywee Alhomayyani it lasts for years with when using this amzn.to/2zTBRms once every 3 months and if you want the best headlights do this ua-cam.com/video/hD2CKp9mco0/v-deo.html my friend
I tried alot of the headlight restorers out there. Even the ones you just use a buffer and apply it. If even used Turtle wax headlight restorer and it cleaned it up somewhat but, within a day or so it was back to how it was. I came accross this video and man I was shocked! Today I went to Advanced Auto and bought some. I didn't have a buffer or the money to spend $25 dollars on a kit so I used a new Wax buffing pad. It's not as aggressive but, it's all I had. I taped the paint around the headlight, cleaned the headlight with glass cleaner and then applied a thin coat to the headlight. Buffed the product into the headlight for about a good 2 mins and then wiped off. I had to repeat it a second time which helped immensely! When I wiped the headlight off with a microfiber towel I said " We'll I'll be damned, it worked!" Went and showed my wife and she couldn't believe it! Thank you so much for this video and every other one you have made. You have helped so many people!
did it last sir?
Yes it did! Especially of I used a protectant or sealer
Ok I just bought the exact one you used and I will be doing this to my car tomorrow thanks for responding and for all you’re great videos all very helpful and straightforward 👍
mak you will really love the results, its fast and gets the job done :)
Absolutely brilliant I’ve just bought myself my dream car Volvo XC90 limited Ocean Blue Race 2006 model and i need to do this to ‘Bear’ as his lights are cloudy as hell AND yes I named the Volvo ‘Bear’ 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Well the bear will be very happy with the new bright headlights if you want to make them truly awesome take a look at our other videos on how to ceramic coat your headlights
Does adding the 303 UV Protectant really makes that much of a difference in making the shine last longer?
