    You forgot to mention that once finished you need to seal it. Also watch your speed don't let the pad get to hot!

      The product has the UV protectant built in.

      TurboSpool it could be as simple as a coat of wax, as long as you do it on a regular basis. Or as complicated as spraying a coat of clear coat, of course the entire area around the headlight would need to be masked off. You could go as far as putting on PPF. The Rag Company has a better video on how to restore headlights. Good luck

      williamhoodtn it may but it would begone after a couple of washes. I'm not saying this is a bad product, just incomplete in the process 👍✌️

      Also to mention that this is illegal in some countrys (e.g. germany).

    The clay bar and polish step won’t necessarily remove the original clear coat where you won’t have to coat it; however, most headlights are not this easy in that most I have restored need to be sanded beginning with 320 grit and then stepping up to 600, 1200, 2000, and I like to get the full pop with 3,000 grit before UV clear coating with a UV cure lamp.

    Thanks for the video! This product and process might work fine for lightly oxidized headlights like the one shown, but what about very heavily UV damaged lights? Would several "rinse and repeat" sessions work for that or would the classic wet sanding followed by the above technique work well in those cases? Note: The product has a UV blocker/protectant in it. No need for JetSeal or other product - nice!

    so pad conditioner is clay luber?

    • @ChemicalGuys
      @ChemicalGuys  5 років тому +1

      Hey!
      They are different things! Pad conditioner contains an enzyme that moisturizes the pad and maximizes compound and polish use. Clay luber simply lubricates the clay bar so it can effortlessly glide over the paint without scratching it.

    So that clay block substituted the sanding part??? If so I’ve been doing it all wrong! I use 1000 grit then 3000 grit THEN I apply the product... does that bar work well with heavy oxidation and cloudy headlights???

    • @STILLNIGHTPEARL
      @STILLNIGHTPEARL 2 роки тому

      On those particular headlights clay removed above surface contaminants, but it is not a substitute for sanding all the time. If the oxidation is thicker, crusty in nature, your 1000/3000 grit approach is better.

      Try washing it first, then claying it and then try with the product, sometimes using your hand could give you better results

    • @zaink7037
      @zaink7037 5 років тому

      Might need to wet sand it if it's in worse condition. With my headlights I wet sanded with 1000 then 3000 grit then I just sprayed clear coat on you could polish it after sanding then putting clear coat or a UV resistant ceramic coating on

    • @Benko_DieseL
      @Benko_DieseL 5 років тому +1

    Some Headlights are easy and come out amazing then some are m@#$#$ers.. and you can try anything you want, they just don`t get clear. I encountered ones with rock chips, deep scratches or ones that have a peel (of the protective film) , you can sand, you can use w/e product you want they don`t get clear. I hate headlights !!
