For more severe oxidized headlights, I start with Bon Ami, then I move to the toothpaste which, serves as a finer abrasive. I move to fine sandpaper when I feel no resistance while sanding. I rinse the headlight, dry it, apply car wax and I'm done. I will try the WD-40 next time. I'm not clear what polishing agent you used, but I'll look into it. Very close to my method. Thanks.
@@AlbertoFonseca-t1v Any type of good quality polishing compound will do! but here is the Key! you must spray on some type of UV rays protecting coat on your head lights! soon after, or else they will return to their dull foggy way. (Make sure they are nicely dried and cleaned before you do it! spraying evenly from left to right making sure you do not spray over the paintjob) Tip. To get even better results? Use borrow/ rent. or buy a mini battery or electrical polisher add small amounts of polishing compound on a new polishing pad then wipe clean after each pass with a new microfiber hand towel and check your progress. Mine looks like I just bought them brand new from the dealership yesterday and it's been seven and a half months since I did mine. Good luck!
Ive used Sylvania headlight restorer and it worked great for at least two years. Same method for cleaning the light but then there is a urethane type finish to protect it.
Headlight was already cleaned with something else. You can clearly see the line separation where he retapes the Headlight like it's already been taped off before..

I'm from Baltimore Maryland. I don't know how many times I froze this video to see what kind of gell it was. EXXE men fresh. I'll Give it a try and post a video of the before and after. I'm going to use the toothpaste as well. I hope it works and thanks! You'll save me $200.
I’m glad I’m not the only one to catch that the toothpaste isn’t needed. You don’t need the “abrasive particles” of the toothpaste if you’re using sandpaper
Seems like even if it's not necessary, it's a good 2 in 1 scrubbing effect. Not sure why to purposely exclude it. Unless you have good reason I'm missing (I'm not very car maintenance savvy)
@ You can achieve the same finish doing everything in the video without using toothpaste, and just using water and sandpaper instead. But it has to be wet/dry sand paper. You start with about 220P then move up in grit from there. You can start at a finer grit by using a polishing compound that is actually made for polishing headlights with sandpaper. Toothpaste is expensive, where the actual compound, while it costs more than toothpaste, can be used multiple times unlike the full tube per headlight in the video. But the compound is still not necessary.
@@iammelon7803 You answered your own question. The toothpaste tapers down the 1000 grit he started with. we all have a lot of toothpaste at home already but not the other compound you're talking about. Basically, toothpaste paired with 1000+ grit sandpaper is a great engineering solution to reduce friction which could scratch the light while sanding for this case. Results are excellent.
@@sr4865 i guess those are simple lights, not the curved ones of modern cars. I suspect you know little how expensive modern glass headlights would be and those you list are from 3rd world countries without any consideration to safety.
@@theDudeknows if something is better, why can't it be brought back. The glass doesn't fade like plastic ones. I used to ride KTM DUKE 390 which had glass headlight which was so much better, helpful compared to headlight of plastic in 4 Wheeler which used to be tough especially in rainy season.

@@mariabentley6481 See the thing ith wd40 is that is clears of the yellow haziness to an extent but the headlight fogginess remains intact and adds a bit f shine but u wont feel its like new if its oxidiozed so much. wd40 as temprory is good but like after a week or so u will notice the haziness again for that apply a wax u find in house or smtg but before all this try the toothpaste method

Excellent work, congratulations on the video! I was unable to identify the gel used, can you please clarify? Do you know if there is any product to protect against UV rays that can be applied? I’m from Brazil!
It took them 40 attempts to get their water displacing formula to work, but on the 40th attempt, they got it right in a big way. WD-40 Multi Use Product was born. WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, 40th formula. That’s the name straight out of the lab book used by the chemist who developed the product. The first company to use WD-40 Multi-Use Product commercially was Convair, an aerospace contractor, to protect the outer skin of the Atlas Missile from rust and corrosion. The product worked so well that several employees snuck cans of WD-40 Multi-Use Product out of the plant in their lunchboxes to use at home.
Since on a body shop I tell you that this method works for a week and then they will return to normal

Ya wd-40 don't work , as soon as it dries it back to shit
If you don’t re-clearcoat them it won’t last.
Watching your video from Sao Jose dos Campos - Sao Paulo - Brazil - Thanks!!!!!!!

What sand paper did you use and the gel? Can it be any toothpaste?
Ive used Sylvania headlight restorer and it worked great for at least two years. Same method for cleaning the light but then there is a urethane type finish to protect it.
Very very effective. I followed instructions and that's bright now 👍
Headlight was already cleaned with something else. You can clearly see the line separation where he retapes the Headlight like it's already been taped off before..
Good eye, you’re definitely right.
True. The tape mark was already there
Headlight was already hit with sandpaper lol
AGREED 😅
i see it 🤦🏻♂️
Then i say to myself noooo coz he have a 1.8m views
I remember when headlights were made of glass. They were brighter and cheaper too. And let's not forget a lot easier to replace and adjust.
And left glass shards on the highway after an accident.
A lot easier to replace? All you have to do is turn the bulb out put a new one in and and no adjustment needed.
OLD BUT GOLD 👍🙏

I made the same with Tequila and Salt. It worked perfect. I had the same result with my method 🙂
Somebody had give me the tequila advice but I decided to drink it! I rather waste toothpaste than patron! 😁😁
Headlights should have been made of glass like old carburetor car models.
That's the way forward 😊
Will be too expensive and wont comply with safety standards.

Oh your idea is very good, we can also use lemon and sand to remove those stains, great job
Sand ??? 🤯🤬
Sand is too abrasive!
Z ,PRL 😢
@@zachariaszsandulski3304
Z DDR 😁
Better with lemon and baking soda!
u can also do it with aceton.. but it needs to vapor as u heat it while u apply it at the end on the headlights :) aceton replenishes the plastic :D
You could also just use compound instead of sandpaper to reduce scratches etc…
Yes, but you can always try it if you are confident in your opinion 🔥🤝
