Scotty: In many of your videos, when you burn rubber, I get the image of Al Lewis, (Grandpa, from the Munsters) racing around in his Dragula. You exude that same confidence, and demeaner that "Grandpa, from the Munsters" always seemed to have!!! You sure get peoples attention, and that's one thing that makes your videos great, great information, and entertainment value to boot!!!!
i have the same one it took a 2 tries but now its clean and they last clean about 6 months and the best part is that even though the headlights dont look as polish they stay clean for longer. so all you gotta do is run the kit again and go back to polish. the kit has lasted me about 1 1/2 years. because i use every 6 months
This guys vids are so fast and to the point, so good he ought to be paid a million bucks to show the rest of youtube HOW TO FREAKING GET IT DONE ! SK - you are THE VERY BEST NO MESSIN' AROUND VID MAKER ON UA-cam
On my "06 Camry I used some 1500 wet sand paper, hand rubbed out with Maguires compound and sealed it off with some wax. I'm not real confident the wax is a good long lasting seal though, I may try clear coat on it...like someone else suggests. I've also used only toothpaste - on an old Nissan - worked great but wouldn't do anything on my '10 Galant. I think it has to do with the type of plastic used on the assembly. Great Vid. Thanks for all your work Scotty.
how about a video on why never to rev up your engine when in neutral or park and why the only time to get the rpm's up is when you're in gear and the motor has torque on it because it's under a load
I have that same exact kit laying around which I will eventually use on my OEM HIDs for my 04 Celica GTS lol the funny part is that the blue car on the front is a 7th gen Celica too lmao
I got new headlamp assemblies from rock auto...$45 for the pair including shipping...and kits like these go for $20. Rather than go through the aggravation, I just bought new assemblies.
What's your thought on Turtle wax headlight cleaner and sealant vs Meguiar's Keep clear headlight coating vs PlastX, on newer plastic lenses (not yet yellowed), for protection over time?
hmm my headlamps aren't flat at the front, they're a little rounded and pointed. I'm not sure I'll be able to apply even pressure across with those pads.
Hi Scotty...I cant find a video for what I needed....I have a 2000 Mazda 626..4 cyl....anyway my o/d light keeps flashing and when it happens i get a kick when starting off from a traffic light...i took it to autozone to get code and no codes are showing....help?
Hi. I have a 2011 subaru Legacy outback with very dim low beam lights. The headlight assembly looks clean and in working order, and the electrician said the bulbs are ok. He said he can't change them to high power bulbs because they are xenon bulbs. And that I will have to buy a pair of new headlights because the inner lens is darkened... They are ridiculously expensive, and I was wondering if anyone here knows a cheaper way to fix this. Thanks.
WageTube ....you sound like you know what you are doing...can I ask you...my interior car plastic got scratched and also a ring from a suction cup (debris removed by alcohol wipe but still a ring)...can I use this stuff on that?
Buffing compound is better or sand it with fine sandpaper 1000 sand grit paint it with high temp clear coat. In other videos he does like I just exaned watched them painting method is permanent
They don't run as brightly all the time like headlights. They run bright only when braking, and even then, not nearly as bright as headlights because they aren't meant to shine in order for somebody to navigate with like the front ones. The heat from the halogen bulbs is what warps and discolors the plastic.
This only works if you have an plastic lens, I would rather buy 1000,1500,2000 grit wetsand paper, and use it in that order, then polish the headlight with rubbing (you can buy an polishpad for a electric screwdriver) and then finish with regular car wax :)
you're going to be right back at it depending on how hot your halogens get and how much you use them . . . . switch to LED's the lenses will stay cleaner longer , there is no fix for UV rays though . . . not that I am aware of
Kit costs 20 Bucks. 2 new headlight assemblies cost 35 bucks, plus they give you 10 - 15 years of clarity, where as buying a kit every 2 or 3 years makes no sense.
Hey Scotty do a video about all the crazy solution out there like coca cola, oven cleaner, tooth paste, baking soda vinegar, etc.Thanks for the video. So what happened to glass? #@ engineering. Glass you don't have to worry about it.
To not get faded headlights in the future: on a new car have a technician install 3M Clear Mask. They last at least seven years, only costs $115. Leaves headlights pristine.
all u guys here are wasting ur time, all you need is a white rag and some off mosquito repellant and in 10 seconds ur done,or get the wipes,even better
Not great advice, any how your videos are always great. Need 500, 800, 3000 grit sand paper then a polish applied with a high speed buffer, like $25 at harbor freight. Then add polish or lens protector every few months to avoid the return of the damage from the elements, you know the oxidation.

What do you think he is doing by adding the liquid and then gradually bringing the grit of the paper down each time ? Oh yea, that is called wet sanding
This guy cracks me up all the time. He's unintentinally funny.

Another fantastic video Scotty! I always use your tips and tricks, and they always work! Keep up the great work!!

I laughed so hard when he popped out of the pick up truck 😂😂😂
Another helpful and instructional video Scotty! Thank you👍
It worked too well. My family had me do their cars as well.
i thought everything came with the kit . i know that sponge and cup weren't in that kit or the giant fan
Miggy2RawFilms 😂😂
😂😂
Actually the giant fan is included. That why the kit cost $300.
Miggy2RawFilms I
a parte che costa meno il dentifricio........però Scotty è davvero un gran simpaticone........l'amico che tutti vorrebbero avere!!!!!!
how about a video on

Scotty (or anyone), is there any solution to fix or cover up stress cracks (baked from the sun) on head lights? Thanks.
Kilmer rules!
I love him 😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏼
I got new headlamp assemblies from rock auto...$45 for the pair including shipping...and kits like these go for $20. Rather than go through the aggravation, I just bought new assemblies.
10 bucks for the kit
Shawn P ik. lol my girlfriends car needed a new headlamp assembly because it was cracked....$150
sure if you drive a 1997 Honda civic sure they're 30 bucks
a 2009 Cadillac won't be 30 ok
Are the kits reusable ? Because surely some people won’t use all of the kit in one go. There looked to be lots of polish , sealant and spray !
What's your thought on Turtle wax headlight cleaner and sealant vs Meguiar's Keep clear headlight coating vs PlastX, on newer plastic lenses (not yet yellowed), for protection over time?
Are headlight wipes any good?

baking soda and water, make a past and use a buffing wheel and a drill work great..

I use metal polish and clear coat.
i did it. after one month it returns like it was in before
WageTube ....you sound like you know what you are doing...can I ask you...my interior car plastic got scratched and also a ring from a suction cup (debris removed by alcohol wipe but still a ring)...can I use this stuff on that?
Should I buy 2 kits or can I use the sponges for both headlights
Thank you
how do you polish glass headlights? my 1991 Honda Accord has alot of tiny rock chips
flitz
Buffing compound is better or sand it with fine sandpaper 1000 sand grit paint it with high temp clear coat. In other videos he does like I just exaned watched them painting method is permanent
Why don't the tail lights ever discolor or cloud? My 2005 VW has crystal clear tail lights, but I have to polish the headlights every year.

Hi Scooty!!!!!
Is it true or false , adding 2 onces of PURE ACETONE per tank will increase the milage ?????? Thanks for your answer!!!
how do you convert headlights to leds
change bulbs
banders77 not talking about the video am saying use different bulbs
banders77 in some German cars you can use led with canbus system
hey scotty do you have a new channel?
He's the only amrican I like go Scotty kuz
he is so funny..gud work
Try transmission fluid
This only works if you have an plastic lens, I would rather buy 1000,1500,2000 grit wetsand paper, and use it in that order, then polish the headlight with rubbing (you can buy an polishpad for a electric screwdriver) and then finish with regular car wax :)
That kit is garbage. I had to go to a power sander with up to 2000 grit, and then clear coat with UV protectant, otherwise you'll be right back at it.
you're going to be right back at it depending on how hot your halogens get and how much you use them . . . . switch to LED's the lenses will stay cleaner longer , there is no fix for UV rays though . . . not that I am aware of

This video isn't to informative should use 400 to 600 grit then 2000 grit wet sand and finish with uv clear coat and switch to led

i hate plastic head lights!!! but nice stang!!!👍👍👍
How about laminated glass like your windshield?
Dude, you didn’t credit Scotty
headlights.. simple mo kit needed "flitz"
and if you get it on the pait its fine because it will clean and polish that too...no sanding required these kits are old news
all u guys here are wasting ur time, all you need is a white rag and some off mosquito repellant and in 10 seconds ur done,or get the wipes,even better
Wrong, mosquito repellent burns the lens. It tends to melt and all the dust and dirt will be locked into the headlamp.
Polishing kit $7usd Giant Fan $200usd lol
Selling much Scotty?
I tried that shit it's USELESS!
Why are you screaming??
yo! this vid is copied from Scotty kilmer channel
george pacan ....I dont know...he says "your mechanic"
Still looks bad

to expensive!
I got minimal results on a 2003 Chevy. Maybe a 30% improvement. And I tried way harder than this guy.
15 to 20 dollars at the junkyard for new headlight
wetsanding is the only way. don't lie to people
Enter Name lol he's not lying to people, plus I'm pretty sure he has WAY more experience than you

Oh yea, that is called wet sanding
Oh gawd, how in the hell did you not see him sand it down three separate times.
