I've tried aluminum polish and it works very good. I also tried 3M's kit and I would say it did even better. You need to coat it with a UV protector whatever you do.
Lemon juice and baking soda does the trick. I threw a good chunk of baking soda in a bowl added lemon juice let it bubble up and dabbed a kitchen sponge in and rubbed in circular motions. You will notice a difference in seconds. Rinse the sponge off and wipe the headlight again with water dry with kitchen towel or a cloth and job done.

However it's not a long term fix and you'll need to do it over and over again. It also won't allow for 100 percent light output. There's only one correct way and that's to completely wet sand all of the clear coat off and spray with automotive grade 2 stage clear coat.
I did a great job with the Harbor Frieght kit and Rustoleum clear coat.. I messed one side up with too much clear coat. Sanding it off is a lot of extra work.
@skaizun I misread your comment at first and then I realized what you meant, for the next one a lights on 💡 before and after is exactly what we’ll do. Cause it’s not just cosmetically that they look better but when they are clouded over the light output is pitiful!
I use micro-mesh. It has several grades of grit sanding cloth. Start at whatever grit is suitable. I then use the cream lotion that comes with the kit. Perfect every time. I do airplane windows.
Great video. The restoration kits actually remove the crazed surface. The basic 3M restoration kit includes two prepackaged clear coat wipes to finish with.
I have tried all these remedies and inexpensive kits from stores..And they all work to some extent but after you clean “Spray some clear coat on the finished headlight or it will film/fog over again” make sure you tape around the headlights so not to get any cleaners or clear coat on the car itself.Or if you just ❤️ your car like my Honda’s (pilot/fit) buy new ones 😉
You're totally right buying new ones are the way to go because these remedies don't last. Once I have new ones I maintain them by using Mequiars Plastx. They don't seem to fog over as quickly.
My sister used a pro kit, and it lasted about 6 months. I used a 1,000 grit sandpaper very gently by hand to remove the surface delaminations, then Soft Scrub with a buffing pad drill bit, and sprayed water every 10 seconds or so to keep it moist, adding a little bit of Soft Scrub as needed. I went through half a bottle of SS for one lens, and it did a great job, but, lasted only 3 months, which is fine, because I only needed it to pass annual inspection! BTW, most inspectors don't care about the lens, as long as they can see the light at the end of their bay! (they have devices to test the brightness, but, the vast majority won't bother with that)
Toothpaste on a wet sponge works very easily. It has titanium dioxide in it to polish your teeth and works well and easily on headlamps. Real difficult
For myself I use the quickest, cheapest & easiest to keep lamps clean: First "gently" (without abrasives) clean off the the dirt & traffic film grease (maybe use WD40 with soft cloth), wash off with suds, rinse, dry & then polish with several coats of Mr Sheen multi-surface cleaner/polish (from any Wallmart). Only if that simple process doesn't improve the lamps would I even consider more aggressive methods. I certainly wouldn't attempt extreme renovation like DIY sanding & buffing treatments with re-coating(!) because I would never let the lamps get into that bad a state.
Wait about eight to ten years... Ultraviolet light will yellow the plastic. Paper towels are made from cellulose (tough enough to dull steel) and will leave fine scratches which road dirt fill... causing the plastic to dull. Don't be too quick to dismiss the usefulness of properly applied abrasives. The Federal Govt. should encourage the use of tempered glass lenses and then us consumers wouldn't need to correct the deliberate cheap engineering the manufacturers get away with.
water hand-pump + SOSpad(has soap on it) + remove soapy water +(wet sand 1500 grit if you feel not smooth after SOSpad + rinse + dry + blue tape off + Rustolium 2x gloss clear (UV protecting , non-yellow , usable on plastics) = Fanstic Result!
I really had to do something about mine recently and since my pockets were way more empty than I want I've started to think about it and decided to experiment a 7 steps women nails file found at the dollar store. 😂😂😂😂😂me laughing about myself 😮and then followed the steps and did a great job using a bit of water. 🎉💦 🥳🥳🥳 total cost 10$ and still have some unwrapped left.
Seems like regular suntan lotion spf 30 that we use on our body would work on headlights since it is uv rays that cause discoloration. Suntan lotion is cheap. What do you think?
Off, but get the outdoor brand with the highest Deet % .. off outdoor is 40% Deet. Regular off is like 20-30%. Deet is the main chemical in the spray that helps uncloud it. Does not last forever but makes them look better.
Varnish will disintegrate over a very short period of time. Clear coat spray paint with UV is the better way to go; not indestructible, of course, but, it won't leave a mess or discolor as it ages/erodes.
You haven't use the best yet. I just did my headlights. They went from yellow to crystal clear in just a few effortless minutes and for less than $10. You will not get a better result. Use Mother's Mag and Aluminum polisher. Coat the headlamp with the paste. Buff it out by hand with a cloth right away. Stand there in admiration and say, "Holy s*hit". Wash with soap and water. Rinse with clean water and let it dry. Repeat again if needed. It doesn't get any easier than that. To protect the headlamps against yellowing I'm using High Gloss Car Rep 2K Clear Coat spray can. It's UV and chip protectant.
@@rebeccabryant5542 Rebecca. I just did this a few days ago. When I wrote this I had only cleaned the headlights, but not protected them. I recommend NOT using the 2K protectant. Although it protects against UV and premature yellowing, it didn't spray on the headlights properly. It left them looking frosted and not crystal clear. Its not an issue for me because it didnt affect the amount of light coming out of the headlights, but you may not like the slight frosted look. You may want to research a different approach.
I’m so confused. Is it just dirty headlights?? I used Mr. Clean Clean Freak spray and a power drill brush attachment to clean my headlights. Took about 60 seconds per light to get the dirt off. Why didn’t you use the brush on all the other products like the baking soda?
If you do get results polishing, you should immediately clean it to remove any residue and chemicals and spray on a coat of the best automotive clear coat you can buy.
@@larrysorenson4789 Sorry, i have no time to search it for you, but the internet is full of information how to do it correctly. Also read the instructions and technical data on the cans.
Finish off with a Meguiars Keep Clear Headlight spray (2 times @ 10 minutes apart). Spray again each year as a UV filter and you will not be doing the full headlight clearing every 2 years.
So why does the manufacturers last so long? Say 3-4 year's why does a good scratching only last up to say 6 mos.? Does anyone consider using a torch to heat the plastic to diffuse the molecules, or is that a thing?
Definitely NO brakefluid. Mothers are amazing products, no contest. But to be fair, all the other methods did not get the full treatment as the retail product got, polisher, etc. So not a very compatible fair test

Sadly correct, once the initial layers of clear on the headlight begin to break down it’s a repetitive cycle until you completely refinish the headlights to include a layer of clear coat
None of what you've shown will do anything for long term results and the light output will still be minimal. The only correct way to fix your headlight lenses permanently with OEM light output is to wet sand all of the old clear coat off until you're down to the polycarbonate lens and then to wet sand and spray with an automotive grade 2 stage clear coat. Nothing else will work very well and will look just as bad within a few months.

Sorry you wasted so much time and effort. What you did with all that time I could have done in less than 5 minutes. Guaranteed or your money back. Next experiment, grab a can of repel mesquito spray, not off, spray on headlamp liberally, let set approximately 30 seconds, watch it and you will see the crud running down headlamp.
