I pretty much got all the tools you use except the Ryobi drill. I bought a cheap Harbor Freight drill because my Craftsman is too powerful. I was doing the headlights on my Tahoe in the parking lot of the condos I live in and pulled two customers. They seen the light I had already done and thought it was brand new. So now I have a Toyota Camry and a Nissan Altima to do tomorrow. I'm officially starting my side gig. Your method is tried and true and I see this becoming a future business for me here in Texas where the sun beats down headlights faithfully. I can't thank you enough.
All right brother I'm glad to hear this...🤓
I'm telling you it is the future of headlight restoration and it is the best method tried and true as you said... It always happens this way it's very catchy you'll do great... And this might actually turn into your main gig if you push it hard enough..... Believe it or not...💯👍🏽

My headlight restoration is getting better and better. Thank You! 🙏
With this method your skills just get better and better the more you do it becomes more fluid....🤓💯
Wanted to thank you! Redid my 2009 Honda crv headlights and they came out amazing. Only AFTER I went back and watched more of your videos because I ruined one by using cheap Chinese paper pads. Was able to get them both back to 100% because of you and what you share. So, thank you!
Hey man I appreciate you taking the time and thinking me for the information I provided the videos..
I'd like to thank you for continued to watch...
May your future headlight restorations be as clear as mine 👍🏽🤓💯
Wow! I'm really liking your videos! I have a different outlook on headlight restoration. Thanks again!
Awesome man I'm glad to hear this..

Your Method yielded great results! Thanks for the tutorial.
I have a 2010 ES 350 that I'm going to do next week once all the supplies come in that I ordered! Thanks so much for the clear instructions and your ability to teach and explaining why you do what you do. Just out of curiosity, how many cars do you get out of the 3M 3000 Trizac pads? I know you've mentioned you get 30+ cars from the FinesseIt pads, but I was wondering about those other pads. I've got enough to materials to do our two Lexus's, and I plan on getting more and doing it as a side hustle if all goes well. Thanks again for the inspiration!
Headlight pro, your right this process is the best, glad I’m learning from the master, thanks.
🥷🏽 you'll just get better and better at it this method is amazing on level 100 and all the others I've done are like 40 or below.....
Hi sir why do you use the fan after you spray the meguiers coating? Thanks
Amazing work as always! Appreciate that you show us every step. I noticed that you’re using Meguiar’s #10 instead of the 3m Lens and Hard Plastic Cleaner. How does it compare for you to the 3m?
Nothing compares to the 3m...lol
I don't think anything ever will...
It's on the same level a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Star product..
But that's like saying 3M is Mike Tyson in his prime and the Meguir's is a pro boxer...(Metaphor)
Keep up the clean work 👍🏻
Which Ryobi drill are you using?
What do you think of the plastic lenses on the 2002 through 2006 Infiniti Q45
im curious for the finishing clear coat spray. would it work on a sponge applicator with the idea of wiping it on rather then spraying? I would go about it as spraying the sponge with the Meguiar's clearcoat, then wiping it onto the headlight with 50/50 coverage. Just a food for thought question.
When doing headlight restoration there is only level 1 - 10. That right there is level 20. You're the truth man.
🔥🔥🔥🔥💯😎🥷🏽
Hi How are you doing , i wanted to ask you what is the best clear coat for the interior paint , my door handels are falling apart and i whant to make them new again
Get the factory paint for your vehicle. Color match.,..
Those headlights came out crystal clear 🤣🤣very nice work
Thank you ... appreciate it....I absolutely love when headlights come out beyond perfect.
Great video, I been doing these for years in AZ. Tried it different ways and Best method is the one you use.
Where can I get the pad to attach to the drill ? Plz and thank you
Straight Professional worth every penny if i lived in the area. Great vid
I see that you used the Ryobi and then the ACDelco, can just one be used to complete the entire restoration or is there a purpose for using both?
I must say, that after doing 20 cars, Japanese headlights look so much better than other brands.
Granted, all headlights are not equal, you work with what you get.
As the HRP has said, each brand has varying levels of "hardness".
👍🏽
So I saw your videos and thought to myself that there are easier methods out there. So I went ahead and tried a different method I saw multiple other people doing and totally screwed myself. I’m not kidding you I spent 10x the amount of time I should have by trying to do things easier. I almost had ago trash my headlights ($1,100.00) and the only reason I’m able to keep them now is bc I followed this video to a T. I’m really grateful for you showing the correct way of restoring headlights, really I can’t thank you enough for
As always excellent work! I have a question; the clear coat is peeling on the aftermarket headlights on my 2018 VW GTI, but are still clear and have not become cloudy or oxidized. Should I begin process of removing the clear coat and reapply headlight clear coat? Or do I wait for them to become cloudy?
The longer you wait the more risk you have of damaging your headlights.. the spots that are peeling are not protected..
I would redo them start fresh typically the clear coats on aftermarket are really poor...
@@theheadlightrestorationpro thank you!
@billynguyen710 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Does applying ceramic coating after all of this, while you are applying to the rest of the car, make the headlights stay clearer longer. I have been doing the 3M restore kit with the Meguiar's clearcoat. The only difference is you use the Meguiar's polish and I used the 3M wipe. I just ordered the polish for my next set.
Thanks for the video. I do friends and family's probably a set every couple of months. The restoration is so satisfying 😊
What do you think about turtle hard shell wax ?
Not familiar with it...
Another question is what happens if I don't spray the clear coating.
Thanks
Another art you did 👌🏻 , i wanted to ask you about the Meguire's coating , in the can it says when over spray happen wipe with alcohol , i've seen your way to remove the over spary by sanding all over again and I'm wondering why don't you do what the can says ?
I know more than what the can says... More experience with the product than whoever wrote that... Plus you're mistaking over spray.. overspray is what's not on the light it's what's on the vehicle.
@@theheadlightrestorationpro i see 🤔 , thank you for your time and information 👍🏼
@Rashed_7 👍🏽
Peace be upon you. You are an artist in this field. I have a question, please. Where do you buy sandpaper and the object on which you place these discs? A short video, please.
Really curious. I’m a new beginner detailer I charge 85 for both headlights restoration. But the detail school I went showed us the wet sanding process. What do u charge for a headlight restoration at your amazing level . Your method is beyond the best . I haven’t met any detailer that has your headlights restoration level . Thanks for all your videos
Check out this video...
This will help you understand about little bit about PRICING ...ua-cam.com/video/ufwtlPPgEKQ/v-deo.htmlsi=VvKAsycbg_85uLUY
Great job, as always. Btw, what is the difference between both types of drills?
Thank you appreciate it...
Small variations... The compact rotation is a lot smoother and consistent easier to use but has less horsepower and less RPM which can take away from its power on a lot of the really difficult headlights... The full size has more power on both ends just a little bit and it's larger so less problems with vehicles with protruded bumpers or sunk in headlights...
@@theheadlightrestorationpro Thx. Have a great one.
@jaimedpcaus1 👍🏽
We got to buy a 3 inch drill attachment??
How long after the Meguiars coating do you wait apply the UV wax’s ?
I believe it says on the video but at least 30 days..
Thank you so much
@mikeschupp6796 👍🏽
I tried this method step by step idk if this works bro done 5 cars like this all of them still got scratches. Could it be my pad?
Are you against using PPF instead of coating?
Yes...most definitely... You need coding when using PPF or it just won't work right.. So you still need a coating either way...
I use your method and works fantastic but sometimes the client turns the light on after I finish and I still see scratches will they be on the inside of the light or does that mean I didn’t sand enough with P800

I've been watching all your videos and when you do your restoration in the rain, how do you protect the headlights after you finish? They're going to get wet as soon as you leave. If you need them to stay dry for 24 hours, what do you do to keep those headlights dry after you apply clear coat when it's raining?
Who said anything about 24 hours..🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@theheadlightrestorationpro It's a little out of context apologies, but in one video you said that you prefer to use the clear coat wipes when it's windy because the spray just isn't going to turn out right when there's a lot of wind. Makes sense. The Rust-Oleum wipe you used said it needs 24 hours to cure before getting wet. It's often windy when it rains. So do you use the wipes in the rain on a windy day?
@CoolcatTerri okay so first of all I'm 1,000% sure I never said I use rustoleum wipe..lol
Second of all of a thousand percent sure I don't have a video of wiping...
I haven't used a wife and probably 3 years.. I just keep them in case of emergency I'd rather sit until the wind stops for a couple seconds or minutes and do it then....
And if anything that is a spray or a wipe or whatever it takes a longer than 5 to 10 minutes to dry you shouldn't be using it on headlights...
@@theheadlightrestorationpro The video is only a year old and you reviewed the Rust-Oleum kit with wipes. You gave it a high review even. And then on your part 1 doing restoration in the rain video which is also a year old you said at timestamp 11:08 & 12:06 you use 3M clear coat wipes when the wind is bad and you can't spray. You did say it's rare for you to use them but you will use them if spraying isn't possible.
@CoolcatTerri honestly man I think you're confused I have no idea what you're talking about I've never once did a video with the wipes because they're extremely inferior... I might have commented on them but I have never done a video about them you have never seen me use a wipe...
Also the Rust-Oleum kit is not a wipe I don't know what video you watched but it is a spray.... Sorry I'm pretty sure I'm the one who makes the videos I know what's on them..
I’m sure this has been asked many times, but someone explain why you would polish your headlights to almost perfection and then expect the paint headlight protection spray to adhere.
How many headlights can that can produce?
About 3 - 5 cars....👍🏽
If I use up to 10.000 grit sanding pads , would I waist my time?
Thanks
Mr pro. I got a question, maybe I'm using the wrong p800. I bought purple P800. I see u r using white P800. What is the difference
Yes that is the wrong disc what you need is a finishing white disc but what I'm using and the videos is what you need.... Don't use the purple disk.. everything I use is a link to the bio for purchase through Amazon and or viewing...
Thank u so much for the reply, nowonder I have been struggling to get red of the fine swirls
@user-ob1vd5du8x yes.. no problem thanks for your viewing and continue support 🤓💯
So if the light was half yellow at the top and clear at the bottom you will continue with the p500 or switch yo p800

I need you to work that magic on my headlights.
😂 lol..
I wish...💯
I’m curious? I’ve watched a lot of your videos. I’m always curious what people use as tools, because that’s how I learn. I learn from others that have a lot more experience. It appears that you use the 2 AH battery in the Royobi drill. Yet in the list of links you provide, you only list the 4AH. Am I getting something wrong? I would assume the 2AH battery is used because of weight. Rough idea? How many “average” headlights can you do on a fully charged 2 AH battery.
Well the two age usually comes with the tool it's kind of rare to find one that sold just tool only majority of them are sold with the batteries the the batteries which happen to be the 2ah... That's why I listed the 4ah.. if you watch more of my videos you might catch a glimpse of the 4ah I usually pop that in when I am doing a heavy drill far as a 2K clear light or a very large light... I have two of them.. it's merely four weight distribution and or lasting.. regular size lights like on this video you're talking two cars with one battery 2ah...
But as I said some of those messed up lights with 2K clear or hard structures will drain and those batteries or you'll be using one per light.... I prefer a lighter battery you can move around a lot better without that extra 2 in at the bottom and extra couple of ounces..👍🏽
I prefer the 2ah when possible I have about seven of those and two fours...
@@theheadlightrestorationpro Thanks for the reply. I figured it was a weight thing, because you always stress being light handed. Hard to be light handed holding a heavy tool. You answered my questions. Thanks!

Do you like the Maguires polish better then the chemical guys headlight, restoration polish
Not sure..they are totally different and act differently on every light...
@@theheadlightrestorationpro yeah I’ve been using the headlight restoration from Kim guys for probably the last four or five months and it works well, was just curious if you thought the Maguires was it as good as the chemical guys because I’m gonna need a purchase some more polish here soon
@triplethreatoutdoors6523 they're on opposite ends of the spectrum want a super thick the one is super loose... Wouldn't really say one is better than the other just different..
@@theheadlightrestorationpro ok awesome I’ll try the Maguires next. Thanks I appreciate it.
@triplethreatoutdoors6523 👍🏽
Your method is awesome!!! Tried it on a 18 year old Honda. Worked great!ordered the blower too!
Awesome.. glad it worked out for you..😁 hopefully ordered from the links in the bio...🙏🏽
@@theheadlightrestorationpro yup
@Hutch400 😎
I like your attitude!
But, and correct me if I am wrong... that Meguiars coating is so soft, and it doesnt last as a result. Isn't something harder like specific clear coat, or ceramic coat (lets say Ceracoat) a way better way to go so it lasts for a couple of years at least?
And I wonder, why cant we get factory grade coatings in a can after so many years of plastic headlights being in production by OEMs???
That is my concern too, so what I'm personally doing this weekend is following this method (I've followed a very similar method on my previous car). After the Meguiars cure I'm going to follow up with a two coat Mohs (by gyeon) ceramic coating to add that extra layer. Hopefully that with routine washes/top coats will keep it perfect.
@@McCain101 There is one issue with this - light dispersion. You will get way more refractions and other anomalies the thicker you go in layers. Especially when its not a perfectly bonded uniform layer of the actual lens structure.
I say if restoration is done, only one later should be used. And i almost feel like only ceramic coating should be used.
Vinyl layers also make it worse, but maybe thats a way around it to block most of UV, keep lenses safe with some light degradation
Word. Goin' Gangsta on this one. I approve😂🤘 I have no interest in...nor aspirations to ever restore a headlight. However...my direct practice experiences with trying to convince a lens, lens cover, or a glass replacement clear display cover..I have never managed to gain success *to my standards* that makes me happy. The results you obtain are peerless Sir. Have you considered directly translating you maticuliously learned expertise to restore other lens/lens covers to water clear transparency or optical clarity level? I'm going to sift thru your channel and see if you've done anything similar. The materials could easily be different enough to require different techniques.
And your method is straight forward to someone who is detail oriented and have some good idea how how NOT to move a powered rotary sanding tool.
Have you ever restored face sheilds? I have a full respirator face mask and the plastic is getting harder to see out of. Can what you do be done on the plastic?
How long do you advertise it’ll last to customers?

What are you talking about? 🤨🤨🤨
Nope not till now🔥🔥🔥👑💯
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Highest level???🤣🤣🤣🤣How many weeks it stands before peeling of? No degrease-desilicone procedure after the hands and the polish compound; putting some 1K mild crap with no resistance to road conditions; putting the clear coat to the glossy surface with no adhesion at all - these are the best receipt to having redo this job in a couple of months.
are you serious when you say shit like "the intricacy and scientifical nature"
Made me laugh regardless
