I've been looking for this one about the tight corners I thought you had a different tool for it! Didn't realize we can just add excessive tape to help. I've been practicing on my brothers 2013 Mazda 3. It has a tight inside corner against the body I wasn't sure how to get that corner so this was very helpful!
Thanks for all the great videos and product recommendations! I was able to make my lamps look brand new again!
🙏🏼🤓 awesome... Im very happy to hear that. Thank you for watching...
Plenty more to come..
Another great work of art, I’m so inspired when watching, can’t wait to do mine. I have to get all the stuff.
Awesome .. you won't be disappointed I've tried so many different ways and the amazement of this one is incredible... Don't forget there's links in the bios to everything on the videos and more,
Thank you for watching..😁
Hey! I like the girls you added... Really spiced it up .. good job!
👍🏼😎
Inspirational with what you do. Already got everything I need to do the headlights from your description & plan on working on it before thanksgiving! I’ll be using this video and will message you on how happy i am with the outcome! I won’t be using rain c on my headlights within a week of clear coating them 🤣 thanks for caring about your work!
Awesome man appreciate you...I would say good luck but you don't need with this channel....use like a cheat -sheet....💯
@@theheadlightrestorationproHey, it went really well just did it tonight while changing the ballasts. Had them out of the car and it was fast and easy with everything I got from your video. My headlights seem to have a bit of swirls in them tho I haven’t applied the clear coat yet as I was about to drive an hour and it started to rain. Any tips? Should I got back over with the 2000 grit and use the polish again? Thanks but they look brand new compared to before! Thanks for everything and plan on charging friends and family to make my money back!
Good Day HRP, firstly great job as usual. I love your methodologies which keep generating consistent results each time it is truly remarkable. I am a mobile detailer here in Jamaica and I also use the Meguiar's G17804 to coat headlights, but when use as directed (Apply 1 medium wet coat letting the first coat dry 3-5 minutes, then follow with a second medium wet coat) the light is hazy in appearance, but when applied as you did in this video using a generous amount, it yield a better result. Therefore, is it safe to assume that when applying the headlight coating, you should use generous amounts? Looking forward to your response, - Thanks in. advance
Yes I discovered this a long time ago although the instructions say double coat I have done some research and I have done some testing the double coat method is not what you want to do because the crust forms so fast that there's an issue with double crust double layers... See this video. 👇🏽
ua-cam.com/video/NgxNImOAoCY/v-deo.html
So I developed a single coat method with this product.. I use about the same amount as two coats, a thick coat and apply the painter's method where I start with a small amount for adherence and just layer thin coats over it all at once which is why you see my pattern moving back and forth back and forth back and forth. The clarity is enhanced doing this..
Check out the video really explain some things... That's what any product as well..
Thanks for watching.
Negril, Ocho, Mobay?
@@theheadlightrestorationpro Thanks I will be sure to try this
👍🏼😎
Fantastic job, sweet ride 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much..👍🏼😎🤩
And another excellent video. However you specifically use the Maguires headlight coating. Great. But try get that stuff here in the UK. I've ordered via ebay but the seller is having trouble getting it from the US to the UK. Can you therefore recommend a product available to get in the UK. Thanks in advance.
I'm actually not sure I have it linked in my bio.. if I'm not mistaken Amazon should deliver worldwide...
That's the first I've heard of this..
Maybe try the link for the product in my bio..... directly to Amazon purchase..
@@theheadlightrestorationpro I tried the link in your bio and it took me to the amazon site and it shows the item is out of stock and they don't know when it'll be back in stock.
Yeah it's growing in popularity..
It will go out of stock from time to time but then it will come back in... This is one of the reasons why I always order this product in bulk.. but it usually does not stay out of stock for long...
Sorry about that.
I would check periodically.. probably come back to stock any day.
Eventually my g37 IPL will need this same treatment, but for now the OEM clear coat is still holding up, probably due to 48k miles and always being garaged/not used to commute and park at work (when that was still a thing).
Thanks for all the insights and regular videos! Cheers!
👍🏼🤓
@@theheadlightrestorationpro sorry if this sounds like an idiot question...
But why do you specifically use a drill and that model you've linked to, instead of say the polisher for all steps... Does the drill provide more speed options and granular control using it to sand with?
Or is it simply form factor and backing plate option based?
@@krazyfiend okay the difference between the polisher and the drill is the drill is going to operate and much lower speeds and comparison to the polisher. Also the drill is optimal for sanding because of the torque the drills have a lot more torque than the polisher. Polishers are all about speed not torque the max speed of the drill is about 1500 or so..
The max speed of the polisher is about 7,800..
That's some of the key bases.
@@theheadlightrestorationpro thank you. I'll make sure to use your referral links to add stuff to my Amazon black Friday, cyber Monday basket.🧺 😂
Just caught the end results and full car sweep. You made that better than showroom.. looks like you did a paint correction (OEM orange 🍊 peel looks gone!) and not just a decon, clay, polish, coat (not saying that isn't a lot too 😂) .
In a future video, unless you have one already, I'm intrigued how you approach headlights with "crazing". Does it depend how far and pervasive the micro cracks and varies? Do the cracks only go down so far?
Anyway, killer results...keep on movin' and prospering!
Awesome I appreciate it they give good kickbacks and these links a lot of the times..
With the crazing, I called the Spider Cracking most of the times it's not all the way through and a majority of it or better yet a lot of it will be masked by the time you hit your finishing product.. but you can only deal with what you're given. You can make a headlight better that has the spider cracking, also stop it from furthering it comes from heat. Generally without the UV coding present the headlight overheat... This is one of the main problems when people use non headlight certified products, overheating spider cracking.. or just if they wait too long with their headlights damaged.. getting all the time...
There's two different kinds sometimes the clear coat cracks this way and sometime the actual light cracks his way but most the time it's not through and through...
I saw you used 800grit before the wet sand, what grit sand papers did you use dry then wet? Great job thanks!
Everything is shown in the video and listed in the video if not they're listing the bio if not there's other videos that will show you.... It was a p800 much different than 800...
Awesome as always. Will you happen to have a video for BMW?
Thanks for watching..
It should come up Sooner or later. ...
Just gotta wait until another comes ..👍🏼
Nice job brother keep up the good work 👍🏾👊🏾
👊🏽 Thank you...
Living in CA where cars really get beat by the sun, it seems like the cars from the Japanese manufacturers have headlights that haze up very quickly in comparison to the European and American manufacturers. It also seems like the clear coat on the paint fails a lot faster. In terms of preventative maintenance, do you think that any of the ceramic coatings slow down the aging process on these headlights?
Not really you would think so though.. I don't really recommend ceramic coatings on headlights because for One ceramic coating isn't dissipating form of protection just like Wax is but wax is more pliable workable and has less effects to the surface of a vehicle and definitely to the headlight much easier to work with on headlights and more beneficial..,(far as hydrating in a softer change to it)
Also ceramics are brittle and hard and extremely thin... I have a video where I did clear coat testing and ceramics do provide enough transparency for headlight standard up there with the best but it lacks in a lot of other things because of its thinness... Which adds to itself breaking down faster, surface impact issues such as: cracking and pitting and crowning etc... And it's also not recommended to do more than one coat which I have another video up about double coating is severely diminishes your light output due to layering... The best thing anybody can do is provide aftercare... But a lot of people don't want to deal with that...
Also have a video about aftercare..
ua-cam.com/video/kIur4XxYjDk/v-deo.html
Also you are right the European headlights last a little bit longer because they use a much harder coating closer to a 2K clear and their actual headlight structure is much much harder... the formula...
But like I tell everybody I feel their headlight method is flawed.. just because something lasts longer it doesn't mean it's better for whatever it is.. metaphorically you got to think that some people outlive their body and are decrepit and handicapped and have Alzheimer's and dementia and things like that that's a form of something lasting way past its expiration date.... Metaphorically the same thing happens with headlights so if you could rejuvenate the headlight before all these things happen what you get is a perpetual and continuous healthy headlight for the life of the vehicle..
The European vehicles are notorious from permanent damage from its natural coating and it's natural hardness.. being too hard there's lots of room for damage the Japanese vehicles make their softer but they last literally forever even though they go bad faster... Essentially they're better product.... A Japanese headlight will last 25 years if you take care of it even with regular headlight restoration and taking care of a European car I say you got like 10 before you start really having damage that you can't come back from and they'll still work but it won't look as good..
The Meguires UV overspray going on the hood - the cars paint doesn’t hurt the paint? You said it cures so fast ….so that overspray cured onto the hood section that was not masked off with painters tape? Or can it be taken off easily from paint/clear coat?
No overspray.... Overspray is not a problem with this product if you properly tape off... Zero gets on paint... Observe the tapping method...the tip is very directional as it's made for headlights....
Watch this..ua-cam.com/video/tDuyrgoj6-k/v-deo.html
Hi Thanks for teaching I have 3 restoration under my belt what are your thoughts on polymer vapor? Thank you
Definitely should use a mask that's specifically designed for chemical vapor nothing else.. I used to use an everything cartridge but it's not strong enough still taste and smell it.. stuff is very strong
You ever done a 7th gen toyota celica headlight resto? I need to do mine and the shape seems like it might be a challenge for my first time lol
Honestly I've never worked on one of these it's a really rare car... With that being said I've worked on many similar style headlights. Best advice I could forward is to just watch the corners and if you're using machine make sure to tape off heavily.. and watch the machine on the corner use your hand sandings on the corners and folds areas...💯
Thanks for watching
@@theheadlightrestorationpro thanks for the advice! Going through your vids a lot lately. Do you have anything on knowing when to dry sand vs wet sand? I dont know the difference
Thanks for the info very helpful what are your thoughts on steam vapor vs Meguiar's spray UV headlight coating? Seems that the steam would take to long
Honestly I've never done it but I believe it takes too long .. also not quite sure how that would be protecting the light it's one of the things I'm curious about...
Any tips on cleaning the hazing on the inside of the headlight lense?
It's not worth it... It'll take a minimum of probably 2 hours to get those lights apart.. and they'll never work the same in this instance I would leave them, focus on the outside of the headlight or just buy new ones honestly..
Great video! Do you give customers warranty? If so how long is warranty?
I warranty my work..case by case bases..
It depends on what I see...
And when it is..
Do you recommend putting the hard lens polish on a finess-it pad that is bone dry or should the pad already be a little bit damp so that it is more springy and soft? Thanks so much
Saturated with the Polish...
@@theheadlightrestorationpro thank you 👍👍
Should we wash out pad after each car is finished or just wait til end of day to wash and rinse out ?
Thanks again!
Never wash..
@@theheadlightrestorationpro great to know, thanks again!
Bro did you sand it without any liquid? I just want to make sure I’m gonna restore my g37 headlights as well
It's in every video....
Dry sanding is superior...
There's over $140 videos up and streaming on this channel....ua-cam.com/video/9DfP_dqw1mU/v-deo.htmlsi=eMRiW8cj-tWuiUjB
@@theheadlightrestorationpro awsome thanks for the info
@AbdulWahab-kv4mu 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
What grit did you use next after P800?
Should say in the video I believe all my videos say what I used... Also it's listed in the bio of everybody else description..
Just wipe off polish before sealing? No glass cleaner or IPA?
Watch new video..it touches basses on that topic..(just dropped)
ua-cam.com/video/ZSd2rlhXAb0/v-deo.html
Thanks. Will take a look. You are one of the best UA-camrs. Responsive, respectful, knowledgeable and considerate!
Oh man thank you I appreciate it I try to be... That's what these channels are out there for..
Make good content for the people..
Also be responsive and answer questions as much as possible... Thank you for noticing..😁👍🏼💯
i’ve never dry sanded a headlight only wet sanded. Do the pads get gummed up ? I would much rather dry sand as it looks much less messy.
They do not get gummed up... Only thing happens is the natural darling of the sandpaper pad., It's a much more efficient way of sanding... You have everything turning into dust instead of goop...
@@theheadlightrestorationpro that’s good to know now i really want to try it. thank you
👍🏽
The Finnish'ed results if I hadn't watched all this video would think you replaced headlights for new ones!! I've watched most if not all your video's regarding headlight restoration, Not only how but why!!? From Tapeing to clearcoat all products used in your bio,It's almost impossible to get it wrong!!?Other channel's claim to have found a secret method that can restore headlights in 5 minutes flat🤣from toothpaste, WD40, Lemon + Baking soda, The list goes on? Your Channel is head and shoulders above the scams by far! Like the saying you can't make a silk purse from a pigs ear!! Keep up the good work love your instructional streaming 🤔🇬🇧👌
Thank you very much.... Much appreciated I get it out there for people like you that understand exactly what they're seeing a foolproof method.. guaranteed results even if you're not a professional...👍🏼
I spent hours refinishing the headlights on my 2015 Honda Accord and they looked as good as new! Thanks for that. I did use the McGuires headlight spray and it was awesome. A week later I was applying RAIN X to my windshield and sprayed a little on the headlight lexnses and all of a sudden they looked horrible almost as bad as when I started fixing them. You should instruct everyone DO NOT USE RAIN X ON YOUR HEADLIGHTS TREATED WITH MCGUIRES HEADLIGHT SPRAY, i'M PISSED AND I HAVE MORE WORK TO DO!!!!!! yOUR VIEOS ARE GOOD BUT WAY TOO LONG .
Yeah I'm pretty sure I never said spray Rain-X on your headlights especially a week later..... (If they're perfect like you said why would you keep messing with them). Essentially if you're mad probably mad at yourself for taking the initiative to do something that's never really been done before.... I tell people to do aftercare was simple wax... And that is a minimum 30 days later but recommended 60 days and every other month not a week after you did them...
Pretty sure the Rain-X does not say for headlight use... Anytime you do any kind of clear code you're not supposed to apply anything for like 60 days ...Got to be careful what you put on your headlights put rain x on any headlight restored or not(brand new headlights) it's going to do some adverse effect... If you feel they're too long feel free not to watch..... Thanks for watching anyways..... 😁
His videos are too long to you buddy, but you do know that you don't have to watch them! There's also this thing called "FAST FORWARDING" that you may want to look into.... Just a thought 😂
@chrissanchez6610 exactly people who come at like this are either one or two things or both.. jealous haters who in turn hate themselves in their own life that's what most haters are..
Or just have attention span issues and probably did not excel in school or at any kind of educational setting...
Either way if it's not your liking why waste your time commenting I see stuff all day I can't stand.. and I just keep moving or don't watch it would be beneath me to comment on it..lol 😅😆😅
Appreciate you..💯
Hey starting my own headlight restoration business how do u charge because im charging 50 for any lights is that to cheap is that to much
You have the gauge your area it depends on your city your state etc etc.. for instance I'm in California, an average size house sells for about $500,000 . Give or take..
In some parts of the country that same house if not bigger will sell for $150,000..
Economic structure is different.
Also you're just starting off.. do you have any reviews do you have pictures of your work do you have videos of your work more than likely you don't have much versus somebody who might be doing work and have experience to prove in your area you kind of have to do the research and figure out what's best..
Thanks for watching I really appreciate it keep watching my videos and watch more than one for sure and you definitely will get your skills to a level where people will want you to do their headlights... Anybody can do headlights but can they do them properly and safely...(that's for the present and the future of the headlight)..
👍🏼
any problems with orange peel?
Good question.. ZERO PROBLEM as you see this is part of the reason why I film so closely on these videos I come up on the headlight about one inch away.. this product is designed for ultra clarity, and if you run through the steps correctly the orange peel nothing.. ZERO
But mainly the reason why there is no orange peel is because this is a headlight certified product that is designed for headlights by scientists...
Thanks for watching...
how much do u charge?
It varies..
And the headlights too!
🤓
GIVE THEM SOMETHING 😊
💯🦾
What's your price range?
I don't discuss these things on this platform , this channel is for headlights and Headlight Restoration, not business per se. Sorry.

What about the older headlights that have the moulding tits sticking out on the lenses? Do you shave them off or work around them?
Work around them... Literally,, then finish with hand sanding.... Their pain they eat of your pads...lol
You should do a raffle or give away for one of your buffer sets
Lol.. I wish I could afford to.. I use them for work and these videos....
Might do so in the future...👍🏼
