    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.

    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.

    People commenting negatively without understanding anything, & only to get rid of their frustations.
    1. The residual sealant is quite enough to prevent leakage. If not, more can be added. Even if this does leak, what is the worst that'll happen. Get a grip people.
    2. In the West the whole of the light would be thrown away & not recycled.
    3. People worried about detergent being used probably don't wash their clothes. Maybe they don't use soap either.
    4. Plastic shavings end up in landfill, nit a river. Lahore has a proper waste management system.
    5. The guy is poor, alright. But he'd be unemployed if he were'nt doing this; someone else would be doing this instead. So, he is doing it for money, not the environment. But his skill & impact ought to be appreciated. He is making an honest living.

      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😁😁

      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 :(

    Word of advice:
    Instead of a razor blade, you can achieve the same results with wet-sanding the lens with a rotary sander, like a Dremel, and using a grade of sandpaper that is fine enough to not take as much material off.
    The amount of plastic he is shaving off is detrimental to being able to actually do the job again, as car lenses are susceptible to yellowing over time, even if this is done.

  • @rotor13
    @rotor13 2 роки тому +3

    While this is an interesting method..... This could have easily been done in 1/4 of the time by using a 3inch Dual Action polisher with a set of wet-sanding discs and then 2 foam pads - 1 for compound and 1 for polish.
    Delaminating the headlights from its original seal now means the chances of internal corrosion/degradation of the materials inside and a higher change of water entering and damaging.
    I used to modify factory headlights and paint them black, leaving only the reflector housing unpainted, and re-sealing headlights gives you a 50/50 chance of it sealing properly. Usually they degrade within a few months and the inside of the headlights have also yellowed, making a simple mod turn expensive because you either spend much more time restoring those lights to look new again or you're buying a new set of headlights.

    • @JUNIORandKRIST
      @JUNIORandKRIST 2 роки тому +2

      Если "стекло" (поликарбонат) жёлтое, то значит защитного слоя там нет. Пожелтение происходит от воздействия ультрафиолетовых лучей на поликарбонат. И лак лаку тоже рознь. Лак для автокраски не подходит, ибо у него степень адгезии не та, и он со временем мутнеет. А это сопротивление лучей света.

      Не факт что у него он есть. Да и родной герметик свойств не теряет. Лично, один комплект трижды вскрывал и все с фарами отлично после этого. Не потеет, не затекает, сидит плотно.
      Чаще, герметик нужен для клеевых фар, котрые геморно вскрываются, клей выколупывается и на что-то нужно это посадить. Вот тут без нового герметика вообще никак.
