Thanks for the tip. I just got my 20 year old Commodore back from the smash repairers and they replace ONE headlight assembly but left the other side in place! (Even though there was no damage to the one they replaced). $450 to get them to replace the other? No way! I'll be trying this tip. Thanks heaps 👍🏻💰

Can buy them on eBay or from SSS auto parts for $200 a pair then go to Repco and buy the clear UV headlight spray paint give them a good coating and will last

[@angiestevenson8132]

Thanks! I’ll be sure to try this. Another tip for a single chick to get things done herself 🙂💪🏼

[@samspianos]

you can use ajax cleaner which is a kitchen/bathroom cleaner which has abrasive in it followed by "Jif" for final polishing

[@allyboy8]

Well, well! What a nice quick way to do that. 👍

[@kathytukavkin2522]

I've tried all the expensive treatments and toothpaste etc but this is something I haven't tried, so I will 😊

[@speedfreak1161]

Thanks for the non bullshit video good job 👍

[@llorttaf]

I do this with headlight polish but Silvo surprisingly😄 works well too.

[@parissallen1678]

Thanks a million I don’t mind doing it every few months if it’s saving time money and energy

[@100reality2]

Mate you have to put UV clear coat on after you polish them as you are leaving the plastic exposed and they will just go cloudiness again and the more times you buff them the plastic deteriorates

Yeah wel he said that #!.

great video. would brasso work? thx mark

[@Groover1964]

Yes it will

[@Faisal-ro1zr]

thanks :)

[@cromos44]

Whered you get the polishing pad that went in the drill? thanks

[@Groover1964]

I got it in the drill polishing accessories section at my local hardware store. You can also buy them on ebay from multiple sellers.

[@jaam221]

Is the pad rough or soft?

[@anony13ousgamer55]

Does this method remove the clear coat ?

[@Groover1964]

Once the headlight shows signs of cloudiness or yellowing any clear-coat will have long gone. This method should only be performed on headlights where obvious degradation has already occurred. Once you've restored the headlight a quick wipe with a ceramic coat like Hybrid Solutions (www.turtlewax.com.au/product-selector/product-detail/hybrid-solutions-ceramic-spray-coating) will then protect and act like a clear-coat improving the durability of the restoration.

What’s the hole in the bottom middle of your lights for ? I’ve always wondered can someone tell me please

[@Groover1964]

It's a side light. Small incandescent globe that gives a dull yellow glow.

[@bloodngold7751]

Cool method...
But also, you scratched the paint twice

[@paulsz6194]

Where. ?
I didn’t see any scratch...

[@TylerDurden33333]

I don't have a drill, can I just rub it using my hands?

[@samspianos]

sure can

[@Mrh308]

Nice work mate I just did mine then put headlight protector 🧑‍🦽🍻👍
