I used all the steps in this video 5 years ago to do a few friends and my own tails. They all came out absolutely amazing. I got lead back to this video today because i was looking for a refresher since I'm finally going to refinish mine. Following this awesome video will get you good results, my tails lasted 5 years in AZ sun and even then they still look pretty good just slightly faded. UA-cam is full of a lot of dumb*ss what not to do videos, this is not one of them. Thank you Sir for the time you spent making this for all of us.
There was this guy I met, that painted custom cars, his paint jobs looked like he put 20 layers of clear, they were deep looking and wet shinny looking, I asked him how he made his paint jobs look so amazing, he said the secret is to wet sand the clear coat between every coat he put down, he said that is how you get that very deep and very smooth wet looking paint jobs. Just thought I would pass that on to your viewers 🤠👍
I watched this video 6 years ago on my first car, a 2000 mustang. The tint came out perfect and even 5 years after driving it, it still looked brand new and perfect. I sold that car almost 2 years ago and now i searched for this video again for my new car. I think it's really cool that all these years later and yours is still the best video on this subject. I saw @Jon S had commented his story which was almost exactly like mine lol small world. Anyways, this video is awesome. Thanks for the help all these years, stay safe
I did the VHT on my 2005 Yukon last night, it came out cool, but it was 100% matte, I would have been happy with the amount of shine you had before you cleared these... so I will be def trying the clear coat
I have done this on all of the cars I have owned and I have to say like everything else you get better with repetition. Started on the Park Avenue then the Taurus then the jeep. Then the Charger and now the Chrysler 200. I decided to step it up and challenge myself on the last one. I only did the borders. I was worried that it wouldn't "fade" , but I have to say it looks freaking sweet. The solid black looks good but this looks like it came out of the factory. Still very "classy". Anyways. Ty for the video man.
What I learned from this method. 1. Expect the. Nite shades to lighten up after sanding. So maybe go one extra layer and sand gently. 2. Donny attempt to scuff up the raw light like other videos. It just isn't necessary and I had some poor outcomes. 3. Be careful around edges as you can easily sand off the edges. 4. Consider skipping 1000 grit anywhere.
+Jim Holley Thank you for the support. I am always up for correction, as I am not perfect when I create these videos and also sometimes I forget things.
You don't need soap as u can see he didn't use it and still came out nice, tho u can use soap. If I don't use soap I just soak the sandpaper and use less pressure but u can tell if it's catching unevenly
It did but they had been sanded before the nightshades was put on so it would have been hazy either way. I sanded with 2000 grit sandpaper all in one direction then i buffed with Meguiar's Plast-X and it looked great. If you don't have an orbital buffer you'll have to do some work with the Plast-X to get it to get really shiny but it works great.
I was half way done tinting my tail lights, following this "How-To"... that's when i seen them shoes and had to throw my tail lights away... I can't trust someone that wears THOSE! lol!!
Actually it WAS goof off. I thought it was goo gone but just checked and goof off was the magic stuff. I got the big bottle of it and poured it on near the top and let it run down. if you let it sit for 30 seconds or so it comes off pretty easy. Might need a plastic scraper to help you out.
"U wsh" plate. Unless it was another car with "uwsh". But I'm pretty sure it was on a stand or something. It's been a while. And in Milford-Cinci area.
question, is the clear coat enamel or lacquer. When i did mine it didnt come out glassy. heres what i did. wet sand lights 2000 grit apply 3 coats of nite shades, 10 min in between waited 40 min applied 5 coats clear coat Dupli Color Acrylic Enamel waited 30+ min,wet sand with 2000 grit dried well used Turtle wax polishing compound, by hand Was dull so tried applying wax to bring out the shine but still dull. Where did i mess uo? please advise Thanks, Dmitri
@UWISHPROD you are right on the monet, a shop just quoted me $250 for my 2019 gx460 tail lights...wet sand, vht(2 coats), wet sand, 2 coats clear coat? Is that what I should be asking for??
I realize that you did your Mustang taillights really dark only the first section that light's up in sequence, now when you did The wetsand, polish etc that section looked amazing better then new! I just want to know if the same thing can be done on my whole taillight once cleared, can i clear it all then wetsand & apply polish & buff finish with wax across The whole light!?
Looks awesome I've been wanting to get mine glossy looking, they have the blotchy looking spots as you described so be much nicer if I did what you just did! I wondered if that same procedure would work on item's I paint matched to my car colour, I did my deck surrounded it looks nice but not shiny smooth and the paint I used was mugged at Napa with clearcoat in it but not shiny at all really! so could I do the same with that use the 2000grit wetsand and then clearcoat, follow up with wetsand the clear then polish and wax! Thanks for any info abs if this will work for my deck surrounding I painted my car is goon to really look sharp, thanks.
I believe what I used was enamel. I used and automotive type from Auto Zone. When you sanded it did it dull the clear coat and did you see any dimples?
I was reading it can give a hazy look to the tail light! I have a 2012 Chrsyler 200. I dont want to be annoying..do you think you can make a video of the removal
Hey are you sure you used enamel clear coat? From the little bit of research I've done so fare people seem to be using acrylic lacquer and using several coats and wet sanding. The people that seem to be using enamel have been saying its cloudy looking... Is that because your not suppose to wet sand enamel or because your just suppose to use one or two coats? Any help would be great. I already have everything else needed for the project just need some reassurance before continuing
I've seen some videos where the 2k clear coat was applied with no sanding or prepping just let the 3 coats of Nightshade dry and go over it with clear coat... is prepping necessary or not?
I might be able to. No promises since I leave in a month for overseas and the light i used for the video got thrown away. Have you searched online to see what works?
Quick question on my 2001 mustang taillights I have my black spay on and I sanded with 1500 grit sandpaper wet and really smooth then on one taillight I got to much clear coat on and it's to think on places looks stupid please tell me what sandpaper I can use to sand that down and be smooth my other taillight has no clear coat just smooth. And after I do that what's best grit to use 1000 1500 2000 after I clear coat it thanks just need to get this clear coat off to think it gunked up on places probably should spay very lightly next time lol thanks 👍
mine literally has no gloss at all. it looks matte. is there any way I can fix it? I havent done the final sand and added a rubbing compound yet but I highly doubt thats going to make a big difference
i have a question. so i used vht night shade on my cars tail lights. GF said one was darker so i added a little more to one " she was wrong" now one is way to dark and i want to bring it back a little any idea of how to do that?
Duplicolor can says white 48 hours to cure before polishing did u wait 48 or nah and if these werent random taillighy and ur card taillight would u wait?
I have clear tails. I will be applying the red nightshades then the smoke. Should I hit the lights with the 1000 grit after applying the red or just do it after the smoke?
could i sand with 2000 grit, clear coat, sand again with 2000 grit and then clear coat again? or would the finish from the final 2000 grit be satisfactory?
I sprayed my tail lights with niteshade then clear coat but forgot to sand the niteshade before applying the clear coat. If I sand and polish now that the clear coat is applied, will it still come out shiny or did I mess up by forgetting to sand the niteshade first?
Used the application Video and it turned out great - then I wanted to make the lights have a shiny finish to match my body clear coat shin - I followed this video to the T minus the orbital, I used a microfiber cloth by hand and did two coats of polish with a good amount of pressure and a coat of Turtle Wax spray on Wax - this process didn't seem to shine at all, if anything it looks MORE matte finish now then it did before...what can I do to fix this? remove the tint spray and start all over? get an orbital and try re-polishing to shine it up? any and all help would be very useful - thanks
I wet sanded with 2000grit 4 more times - I good sanding across the whole light...rinse it off and while its drying wet sand the other. repeat to sand each light 4 or 5 more times then he does. then I wiped it clean and dry, then I use the polish again with a small electric sander and a microfiber cloth (to help get more action into the surface) and I did 2 heavy coats of polish, wiped clean, spray wax and done...turned out pretty perfect. here's my before and after i135.photobucket.com/albums/q151/punkyemil/2011%20Honda%20CR-z/d0288cf7-8ce8-47cf-b2d0-1b29c36f7070.jpg i135.photobucket.com/albums/q151/punkyemil/2011%20Honda%20CR-z/BEA8E658-7EBE-47B3-B40C-0F13364B223D.jpg
So I followed these instructions exactly. Used the exact same chemicals and everything, even allowing 12 hours for the tint and clear coat to dry individually. Yet when I tried to polish, it came out more dull than with just the clear coat on. I did 4 rounds of polish and still more dull. Decided to sand and wash the polish off but now the clear coat stuck to the taillights weirdly and splotchy... what happened?!
Can I use acrylic clear coat? Because the vht itself says not to be used on acrylic surfaces? I know clear coat is on top of it though but will it mix negatively?
I know this is old but question After the polishing and it gets all done. What’s the maintenance? Does it stay clear after the first polish? Or you have to repeat the polish over the time to not lose the gloss on it? Amazing video bro truly gonna do this.
Maintenance is just like washing your car, no extra steps. Now if it gets dull over time or scratches, then you’re gonna want to add another layer of clear, and finish with polish again. Good luck man and thanks.
I just did mine today, but after I finished they came out a little scratchy. I guess I could have sanded too hard, but do you have any recommendations on how I can remove the scratchy look?
I just tinted my tail lights per your previous video and now want to clear coat them next. The Nightshades can says to let it stand for 3 hours after tinting until I can handle them and 24 hours for them to cure. Can I start sanding them and working on the clear coat after 3 hours, or should I wait the full 24 hours for them to cure completely? Thank you for the feedback.
Tried to email you back, but having server issues. I don't let the clear coat sit for 24hrs before sanding. Usually a hour or two works. But I am impatient, so your choice.
loved the video! Is there anyway to lighten them up if they cam out to dark? i did 2 layers nite shade and 6 clear coats. color is a little to dark for my liking.

Great video. There's a lot of nonsense when you go searching for how to's online but this answered several questions! Many thanks!
Finally someone that knows what they're doing polishing Tinted Tail Lights.... Thanks for the video
+Kenneth York Cause I am awesome...and I know what car people want, since I am one myself. Thanks
+Kenneth York what type of foam or stage did you use to polish?
Best video on nightshade I have seen. Thanks for the vid!

I used both of your tutorials. They Rear taillight cover of my Motorcycle came out perfect. Thanks !
I have done this on all of the cars I have owned and I have to say like everything else you get better with repetition. Started on the Park Avenue then the Taurus then the jeep.

+Zchezary Negron awesome. Always makes my day that The video helped someone out. Thank you

Yup I agree....had to redo the light because it cane out too light...went extra layer....sanding is alot of work tho...has to be super smooth
its pronounced mat. not matay. the e is silent. nice vid though. very informative.
Give him a break he’s from the South
Man, just did my lights....they turned out amazing...start to finish 1 1/2 hrs! Awesome
Thanks for taking the time to go through this, as well, your attitude about constructive criticism is great.
Keep up your work and videos.
+Jim Holley Thank you for the support. I am always up for correction, as I am not perfect when I create these videos and also sometimes I forget things.

For the love of cars, we all stick together.
This video helped me out so much thank you! 👍 I’m sending anyone that ask about my lights this link!
Glad this many years later, this video still helps people. Thanks for the comments
Very informative. Exactly the information I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Thank you.
shouldn't there be a tad bit of soap in that bucket. pretty sure most wet sanding is done with water and a dob of dawn to lubricate more efficiently
You don't need soap as u can see he didn't use it and still came out nice, tho u can use soap. If I don't use soap I just soak the sandpaper and use less pressure but u can tell if it's catching unevenly
It does take a lot of wet sanding and patience, but the end result is well worth it
Great instructions man! Did the taillights on my 2011 Flex to duplicate the "Titanium" look
It did but they had been sanded before the nightshades was put on so it would have been hazy either way. I sanded with 2000 grit sandpaper all in one direction then i buffed with Meguiar's Plast-X and it looked great. If you don't have an orbital buffer you'll have to do some work with the Plast-X to get it to get really shiny but it works great.
That finish was quite matay. Good thing you did this! 😂😂
Very matay actually haha
What are those shoes..!! HAHAHAHA
Hey hey hey now haha
I was half way done tinting my tail lights, following this "How-To"... that's when i seen them shoes and had to throw my tail lights away... I can't trust someone that wears THOSE! lol!!
That’s just rude haha go get your light out of the trash lol
Only cool people wear them man, don't let them bother you brother
See...this guy gets it. We can be foot shoe buddies
Thanks man. Also thank budlightsk8er he is our master to intros. And of course a master to our Go Fast commercials.
Can I spray nite shade over clear coat
Actually it WAS goof off. I thought it was goo gone but just checked and goof off was the magic stuff. I got the big bottle of it and poured it on near the top and let it run down. if you let it sit for 30 seconds or so it comes off pretty easy. Might need a plastic scraper to help you out.
beautiful finish. why did you call it mattay though? is that different than matte? or did you just pronounce the "e" at the end of matte?
Think I had a blonde moment.....or I did it on purpose to upset people lol.
My buddy Matt Tay approves of this video
That’s my dogg right der!!
"U wsh" plate. Unless it was another car with "uwsh". But I'm pretty sure it was on a stand or something. It's been a while. And in Milford-Cinci area.
Your description below doesn't show any of the products
how much curing time do you recommend for the nite-shades before clear coating?
Easy an a very simple way to tint your lights!!
thanks dude I would've taped off the other sections but great help!!
Very nice, can't wait to try this out!
question, is the clear coat enamel or lacquer. When i did mine it didnt come out glassy. heres what i did.
wet sand lights 2000 grit
apply 3 coats of nite shades, 10 min in between
waited 40 min applied 5 coats clear coat Dupli Color Acrylic Enamel
waited 30+ min,wet sand with 2000 grit
dried well
used Turtle wax polishing compound, by hand
Was dull so tried applying wax to bring out the shine but still dull.
Where did i mess uo?
please advise
Thanks,
Dmitri
I love wearing my Vibrams too..
very nice video, i will do the lights on my vet. thanks !
Holy shit. I have seen you around before. I recognize the plate behind you.
Which plate did you see and where did you see me
Amazing and informative video! How much should this cost say on a SUV at a shop? For the rear tail lights
I’m sure a shop would price gouge this service. It’s simple but prob 200-300.
@UWISHPROD you are right on the monet, a shop just quoted me $250 for my 2019 gx460 tail lights...wet sand, vht(2 coats), wet sand, 2 coats clear coat? Is that what I should be asking for??
Yeah that sound about right. 250 isn’t to bad, probably a couple hours of work and don’t by professionals.
you sir just saved me a ton of money thanks!
Great video, thanks for posting.

Thanks for the video but i think using tint film will be faster and cheaper although i understand it can be tricky
Can you do this method with regular spray paint?
i have a question. so i used vht night shade on my cars tail lights. GF said one was darker so i added a little more to one " she was wrong" now one is way to dark and i want to bring it back a little any idea of how to do that?
How long did you let the vht sit for before sanding and applying the clear coat ?
Duplicolor can says white 48 hours to cure before polishing did u wait 48 or nah and if these werent random taillighy and ur card taillight would u wait?
I have clear tails. I will be applying the red nightshades then the smoke. Should I hit the lights with the 1000 grit after applying the red or just do it after the smoke?
so after the six coats you put on you wait about an hour or two before re-sanding?
+Jesus Bolanos yes
could i sand with 2000 grit, clear coat, sand again with 2000 grit and then clear coat again? or would the finish from the final 2000 grit be satisfactory?
Great video. Did you sand the lights before applying VHT?
No. The reason being, if you ever remove the VHT for whatever reason, your lights will be dull sand look like doo doo.
It is a Compound or a polish ? Thanks you
Not sure how to answer this. Try and find a clear coat that is sandable which some will say on it
Great instructional!!
Glad we could help
Does it matter what kind of polish i use?
And also would i need a cutting compound or will just a polish compound work?
Thanks for the support
okay thanks for your reply. how would I buff?
So to get this right?
2000 sand > clear coat > 2000 sand > buff?
How long after your final clear coat did you wait until you polished?
Why do you sand after clear coating? Won't it just make the clear come off?
I have a brand new car so do you think using sand paper will scratch it? Thanks. Great videos btw.
Awesome video 👍🏽
Thanks.
I sprayed my tail lights with niteshade then clear coat but forgot to sand the niteshade before applying the clear coat. If I sand and polish now that the clear coat is applied, will it still come out shiny or did I mess up by forgetting to sand the niteshade first?
Yes, the clear coat should still come out shiny.
How dose it hold up over time? And do you have to keep putting wax on overtime
If you don't have car polish can you use car wax?
Is the clear coat your adding on these removable if ever want to remove to factor tail light ? Thanks much
Yes. Mineral spirits will wipe everything off. Hence why you don’t sand the light prior to starting.
@@UWISHPROD thanks makes sense
You can use mineral spirits. Should just wipe off.
Used the application Video and it turned out great - then I wanted to make the lights have a shiny finish to match my body clear coat shin - I followed this video to the T minus the orbital, I used a microfiber cloth by hand and did two coats of polish with a good amount of pressure and a coat of Turtle Wax spray on Wax - this process didn't seem to shine at all, if anything it looks MORE matte finish now then it did before...what can I do to fix this? remove the tint spray and start all over? get an orbital and try re-polishing to shine it up? any and all help would be very useful - thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. One more question, why do you sand And buff after the clear coat. Just to even out the clear coat?
Eliminating imperfections
nice shoes lol great video!
that duplicolor aerosol can shat out on me pretty bad
So I followed these instructions exactly. Used the exact same chemicals and everything, even allowing 12 hours for the tint and clear coat to dry individually. Yet when I tried to polish, it came out more dull than with just the clear coat on. I did 4 rounds of polish and still more dull. Decided to sand and wash the polish off but now the clear coat stuck to the taillights weirdly and splotchy... what happened?!
Weslin Camden lol You fucked up,that’s what
@@christph3118 , LMAO
@christoh3118 I should use you to respond to all comments on my videos. This is reddit level shit haha how did not see this
Can I use acrylic clear coat? Because the vht itself says not to be used on acrylic surfaces? I know clear coat is on top of it though but will it mix negatively?
I’m not sure of this. I know the process I used work. Sorry I can’t be of help
Nice Vid! Thanks
Glad I could help. Thanks
ya you got it right. good luck
Thanks! Really good video btw :)
I know this is old but question
After the polishing and it gets all done.
What’s the maintenance?
Does it stay clear after the first polish? Or you have to repeat the polish over the time to not lose the gloss on it? Amazing video bro truly gonna do this.
Maintenance is just like washing your car, no extra steps. Now if it gets dull over time or scratches, then you’re gonna want to add another layer of clear, and finish with polish again. Good luck man and thanks.
Thanks truly appreciate tons for you reply. Keep the awesome jobs
This comment is truly true
You should of laid that clear coat thick with out making runs 2 coats and walk away
Is that a palm sander with polisher attachment?
I think it was an autozone $20 polisher with a fabric cloth overlay. Nothing special
What did You use?
How do we remove VHT?? Im really worried about it, I got pulled over and need to remove it
I just did mine today, but after I finished they came out a little scratchy. I guess I could have sanded too hard, but do you have any recommendations on how I can remove the scratchy look?
+Austin Byrum You could always lightly re-sand and then re-clear. Finish off with buffing again.
what makes the nightshades paint crack?
My reverse lights are smack dab in the middle of my break lights. Can I use the VHT on the clear reverse lights?
Lucas Neal Yes, just need to tape off.
I just tinted my tail lights per your previous video and now want to clear coat them next. The Nightshades can says to let it stand for 3 hours after tinting until I can handle them and 24 hours for them to cure. Can I start sanding them and working on the clear coat after 3 hours, or should I wait the full 24 hours for them to cure completely? Thank you for the feedback.
Tried to email you back, but having server issues. I don't let the clear coat sit for 24hrs before sanding. Usually a hour or two works. But I am impatient, so your choice.
UWish Productions Lol. I suffer from the same impatience! Haha! So when you wait an hour or two, it wetsands just fine with no real issues?
Cramer1984
Just ensure the clear coat isn't sticky and its dry. I just touch the corner to text it
3 hours?? 24 hrs for it to cure? Dude i do it in less then 2 hours and its all good and done lol
Where in Ohio are you? I'd be interested in having you do the taillights on my 2011 Mercedes Benz CLS 550. Please let me know. Thanks!
Not located there anymore. Sorry about that.
How far away are you from Ohio, now?
