I used to own a headlight restoration business and is completely unnecessary to separate the lens from the housing, you only do that when there's really bad damage internally, or for customization. A rotary polisher with some 500 grit to 3000 sanding disks get the job done great, use some polycarbonate polish and protect with UV silicone based clear coat, the one that cures with UV rays. This guy's hands are working way to hard for this, also if headlights are on the car is the best way to work on them. I guess some of us like doing things differently, Respect to this man working hard and earning his money in a honest way.
Agree
Thats the reason you used to own it
That is exactly what i was about to write.
If its not broken don't take it apart!
Lucas all i can agree with is that he went the hard way and definitely earned his hard money.
I was wondering why he would risk breaking something when the lens could stay on. Oh well, it still turned out fine.
You are saving money, saving materials, and saving the planet. Well done Sir.👏
no he isn't... nor he is doing to save money or anything else you said there. the plastic shavings fall on the floor, then get blown around, they then get in a river and end up in the ocean, while in the ocean the plastic shavings will get absorbed by the marine life which we then ingest. thank you very much mr Light Polisher... he is not doing to save the planet, he is doing it to make money. dont be fooled.
@@felixcertus2721 maybe but if it is thrown aways as it mostly is, it will end up in landfills where, in a dry country it will be eroded by dust and sand and become microplastic anyway so he is doing the planet a favour.
@@thelovertunisia when reading with understating is unachievable. was I even replying to you?
@@felixcertus2721 Think about it. only a very small part of plastic is really recycled the rest is dumped.
Looks better then new. Great job
In my county, people usually replace it, not renewal, what a wasting! can't imagine we live in same planet👍 such a great work ！
Замена не всегда бывает качественной иногда лучше востановить оригинальную деталь
@@user-vb6vm3dc3w Возможно они на новую оригу и меняют. Там это не деньги. Или ставят перед фактом, что с таким светом тех осмотр не пройдеш. А чел дупля не отстреливает, че да как. Идет к официалу и там по полной. Такое тоже может быть.
Это у нас снять фару, перебрать, линзу вставить или поменять, ерунда дело. А там для многих это невозможное волшебство.
Super
No, wasting is spending over 20 hours of menial labor on a piece of junk.
@@NeverTalkToCops1
One hour, it takes one hour, instead watching UA-cam.
he forgot to do the most important thing: to put on a clear coat.
No. He did not forget.
@@MrRaddoslaw cool if he did it.. because i did the same thing on my headlight.. its like bnew again 🙂
@@thereignman0120 Better no clear coat than a crappy one. I did that with my car here in Tunisia and the headlights yellowed in 3 months.
@@thelovertunisia you need one made for UV protection
No le aplica. Clearcoat.para que regrese. Pronto en unos años.otra vez.y pueda ganarse otros billetitos.@
I just want all you people out there, who can't wait to grab the next loose stanly blade with their bare hands and start ferociously ripping the surface of the headlight off... Don't!!!
This guy is very skilled and has probably been doing this for a very long time, and I guarantee you if you snag the blade with that kind of force you're getting some deep lacerations.. enjoy!
И без покрытия лаком эта фара сдохнет через год, пластик пожелтеет уже вглубь и растрескается. Нужен лак с уф-фильтром.
Как правило, обычных 2к лаков для кузовни достаточно.
Колхозники, что с них взять
Для покрытий с защитой от УФ-излучения требуется специальное решение
Если не сделано на последнем шаге Лампы обязательно сломаются в течение 1 года и не подлежат ремонту и повторному использованию
Ждем видео через год как он получает люлей
The lens looks great but half the fixings are broken and I bet the lens lets condensation in and fads .
So satisfying to see someone take as much pride in their work as you do! Keep on reusing and repairing!
Fantastic work, very satisfying to see the finished product and great to be restoring instead or throwing away. 👍🏻
Great job, we don’t do work like this anymore in this country we just replace, unbelievable workmanship, great job
the yellow ting is due to the protective layer exposed to UV rays as times passes by the protective layer becomes yellow this should be protected by a layer of uv protector or the problem will come back and the plastic will become brittle.
Yeah that's what I was about to say. If they don't put on a layer of clear coat, the yellowish hue is gonna come back in a couple of months. Pretty much a waste of all his hard work.
He’s probably not charging that much anyway so having it done every couple of months wouldn’t be a bad thing
Even using a good cleaner wax will clean it up well and protect it for awhile.. any protection on palstic is better than nothing...
it would be great if it was covered with a layer of varnish after sandpaper.
Yep, missed the most important part of the process there. Needs clear coat.
The yellowing occurs from UV clear coat breaking down, a barrier that protects the plastic. Sanding it off and polishing the plastic will have it looking like new for about a year.
For best long term results it needs to be recleared with UV resistant urethane.
Not even a year, under the scorching Indian sun not more than 2 month
It only last for 2 weeks! India is a hot, dirty, polluted country bruhhh!
That's because UV clear coat cost extra the owner didn't want to pay for it
Lasts about 3 months where i live. Unless i spray UV coating on it. Then it will last a year.
Clearcoat is an absolute must.
The reason he doesn't apply UV protectant is called job security!
Like any dealership would have done that. They are recycling plus saving the bucks. And that is admirable.
Because people dont pay them for uv protection being a Pakistani i know that they ask if we want UV protection coat that is like 5$ more but people often neglects this
Haha
No , probably it means the customer is being cheap.
@@judgedredd9236 exactly
This guy is a gem!!! Love the way how the guy does not faff with his mouth and just let his work do all the talking!
Augh yes!
So many experts in the comments explaining the same method over and over.
Very dull to read.
This is something else lol
Interesting, odd yet very effective!
Hats off to patience and craftmanship
I think the comments regarding not being necessary to separate the clear lens from the reflector are missing the point, this headlight has most likely come from a auto wreckers and been in storage for some time. Dust and dirt have collected inside and needed washing out, note the soap powder and gentle washing. This guy is not an idiot he knew the inside needed attention as well as an exterior polish. Fantastic restoration.
This is the best technique I've seen in my life
Fantastic! Looks great! God bless you guys!
No need to take it apart, now he has ruined the seal and water will get inside. It's best to wet sand it with fine grit sand paper and finish on the buffing wheel. Should be done in 10 minutes or less.
Urethane can pefectly re seal it
that's the dumbest way of doing😁😁😁
for many reason
!- they did not use sealant to put it back together, so it will leak
2- they have no idea why they get yellowish!! it's the clear coat on top of plastic cover that turn yellow!!
3- so if you you don't use proper plastic clear coat it won't last more than few moth and and get destroyed to the point of no return😁😁
that's the dumb thing most ignorant people do even in western countries, they just sand and polish without using proper clear coat
Tem uma questão, o plástico tbm amarela por dentro! E precisa lixar e polir por dentro para ficar perfeito... Minha moto eu fiz só pra fora e não foi suficiente
Guess it faded a little on the inside as well?
@@panemamen The headlights are sealed with a butyl (sold as a coiled rope). To check it for a leak you can close all holes, coat the headlight seals with a soapy water and blow inside with a pump. As easy as checking the tyre. Be sure this video fix will foam all around)))
Fantastic work, very satisfying to see the finished product and great to be restoring instead or throwing away.
What a great piece of work!!!! CONGRATULATIONS MISTER
That headlight would have been straight in the bin at any car dealership I know of with a several hundred dollar bill and now I see that they can be made new with a few simple tools and a bit of practice. Great job
@Minimal 100 times this. Just polishing an existing plastic headlight is a waste of time. I did this to my fogged up headlights. They looked amazing after a ton of sanding and buffing. They looked even worse 3 months later. You have to coat them when you're done.
@Minimal Y
You
are probably right the longevity of this repair would not be high on the list ,it may well find itself in a box on the new head light shelf
Err dealers won't be tossing headlights out if money is important to them. You dont even need to pull most headlights apart or even pull them off the car to polish them.
What uv coating can you use
New headlights cost $700 minimum and twice to 3 times that for HED versions. Trashing is not happening, shops are selling them to restorers if not restoring thmselves.
the problem comes back if you don't apply some protection product.
U mean lamination
@@himanshushakya573 i use automotive varnish, high durability
Anderson, believe it or not, just plain auto wax will help protect them.
then just come back to this repair shop, while you can help them feed their children and education
@@EnDSempriniwhat's the name
Using a buffer was unexpected. Good job!
Amazing work 😍🥳 wish that some one can do this in my city 😅✋
Great respect and love from India 🇮🇳
This is not a technique. This is a process. Excellent work but more than a simple technique.
Wow , you are so an great Artist - thanks to show us all in the whole world 🙏🙏❣️. Great 👍 respect and best regards to you & your family from Germany 🇩🇪👋👋
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏parabéns aqui do Brasil, Deus os abençoe 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great... now all I need is a big a$$ industrial buffer that I only use to polish my headlights every 10 years. lol ;)
I've been doing headlight restos for years and never once have I ever taking the lens off the housing in ruin the factory water seal that step is not needed and you definitely don't want to scrape your headlight lens with a razor blade and cut the plastic off of it definitely not the right way to do a headlight restoration all you need is some 500 Grit some 800 Grit some 1500 Grit and some 3000 Grit wet sandpaper to restore headlights when you hit him with the UV protectant clear coat and then you're done and then they stay clear for years to come
I have a 1966 Ford f-250 and a 1975 Chev. Suburban
and the original headlights on both of them are still crystal clear (glass).
:-0)
I was thinking the same thing with razor blade. Also couldn’t have distorted the housing with the blow torch.
Most of the Car lights in Pakistan are not usually water sealed so he may not be wrong
I rub lemon and baking soda on the lens, it improves a lot
This man has his own method of restoring headlights, who cares the manner in witch he does his job!
He did a great job, odd but great.
Just look at the results! Impressive i must say.😁
WOW! Make due with your skills that God has given every human.
Finally some quality from India
Hard work, beautiful result 👍🏻🏆💯
If only Indians in the US would put that much effort into keeping their convenience stores clean... Awesome job!!!
Good job 👍
This Guy IS Amazing !!! 👍
Great job man! here is the USA all they do is change parts, nobody fixes things, consumism!
Nice work, consider a uv top coat to make it more durable.
Amazing work. In poor countries people is extremely creative. Congratulation from Guayaquil - Ecuador
honest days work - respect young man
Nice job! We are too lazy in this country to do it that way.
Thank you for not using background music
Thanks for the video. 🙂 Remember that God loves you! 🙂
Делай так два раза в месяц и фара потеть не будет:D
Да и таким темпом через год твоя фара будет тонкостью бумаги
Eine großartige Arbeit.❗👨🔧 👍 👏

السلام عليكم........ 👍
O yes, I can see that headlight never fogging up when the monsoon starts.
Awesome job reclaiming instead of another carbon footprint. These guys are amazeballs.

Fantastic wali chai
In México they polish them at the parking of the supermarket while you do your shoping. 10 dollars.
A mí siempre me ofrecen ese servicio, pero mi auto tiene faros de vidrio, ya es un clásico XD
Well seems like a lot more work than necessary. There are sanding and polishing kits you can buy for $20 US to achieve the same results with far less work and without needing to remove the housing from the vehicle. They even come with a clear coat to help greatly prolong the results.
Nope, not exactly correct. He is also polishing the inside, that is the part wich causes permanent decreased light strength. With those stupid 20 Dollar kits ( we also have them in Holland here) it is a very temporary fix.... Most people only polish the outside and they do it mostly wrong also. Another very stupid thing most car manufacturers ( or very clever!) do is that you cannot only replace the plastic front of your headlight! And if you do it by force or heat..... Well place it back after cleaning and in many cases your car will not pass the MOT check... So only option is to replace the whole unit :(
The state off that headlight bs would one off them kits work.
@@iloveACID ???
The whole headlight assembly will sell again for abt $10. So.......
He probably earns 20USD a month, and probably not an option where he is.
EXCELENTE TRABALHO PARABÉNS .
A place I would love to visit. All the new skills I could learn.
That light turned out nice👍🏻🇺🇸
Amazing work for sure, keep it going even my self I just uploaded how to change headlight bulb 💡
Now my car can see at night
This is very skilled man
Congrats on your great wonderful job bro. 😍👍
To me who love to restore old motorcycle, this technique will help me a lot. factory parts always the best quality.
Amazing friend..very cool the results are so clear and clean..
Satisfying finish , well done 👍👍, looks like continent Asia , probably india or whatever. It seems that they're doing it for some kind of necessaties. The result is awesome , however as I can see lots of labour , lots of chemicals , lots of time , some amount of electricity and gas has been used. May be beneficial for us , for them but not for Europe and U.S.
Great work. To do this is very labour intensive and to charge for your time to do it would or could be more than the price of a new light unit I my country. Restoring the unit is the right thing to do but economics of where you live dictate this. Great work by this young man thou
Great job from a great skill full person.
Great work why we live in replacement world?
Wow, excellent job - well done 👏 👍👌
Never polish the silver reflector ( its atomised ally and will rub off )
Exactly 👍🏻
I actually just do the outside without removing it from the car and people seem to love it, no need to access the inside. The hell with all the extra stuff this guy did unless he's getting paid really good and I doubt it.
Exelente trabajo 👍 bendiciones
Great technic the only thing I'm not sure if using the old glue would be a good idea it won't be sealed properly
Excellent,,greeting from Colombia.
Wow! Amazing! That NEW LEAKY headlight sure is SHINY! lol
These effort should be appreciated by government...
Best execution of skill development...
Stop promoting commercialisation...promote skill development.
Congrats. Amazing job. May I ask, for how long lasting like new? (in my opinion, I rather pay for rebuild or fix than paying for "new")
Excellent, thanks, from Manitoba en Canada 🇨🇦
