Hello everyone and thanks for watching, you guys are right one clear coat is good enough, also this was a parts car that's why I didn't mask around the headlight. Thank you and have a blessed day.
I read a lot of the comments. It would seem most people had the volume turned off, since no one heard you say it's your "parts" car and you weren't concerned about the overspray. It's amazing what you can learn when you listen.
SHOW CORRECT WAY THEN TELL THEM IF THEY DON'T GIVE A DAM GO AHEAD AND FUCK IT UP ALLWAYS SOMEONE WANTING TO DEFEND IGNORANCE TELL US YOU WENT OUT AND DONE THIS TO YOUR CAR AND I CALL YOU IGNORANT HALF ASS.
I just followed your steps and VOILA!!! My headlights came back to life!!! Thank you so much!!! I've tried everything before this with no good results! This is truly the best and ONLY video that worked for me!
I tried it on my 2007 Silverado. Let me tell you it works, it absolutely works very well. It worked better than a $30 3M product I used on my BMW. To hell with the naysayers this guy is telling the truth it works!
I’m sitting here watching it and my eye caught your Strangely Satisfying and I started to laugh lol 😂. I had to stop watching to read what you wrote lol . I’m glad I’m not the only one that finds it strangely satisfying !
I just tried it and it did work for the most part, a good 95%. The first headlight ended up having this white spot on it, but it was at the top so it wasn't in the way of the lamps nor is it too noticeable and that section looks like it was before the restoration. The second headlight I made sure to sand in circular motions and I think that helped since I didn't get the white spot. I also did one coat only. If you over spray it'll mess up or get cloudy. But overall, this method does work. Be sure to tape the border.
Thank you so much for the explanation! Just a few days ago I was looking at my lights and wondering if maybe the haze was just surface built-up surface scum and dirt. The clear coat explanation makes a lot of sense! Thanks again! Great video!
Man that is amazing. I have tried the kits, and they never really work. Close I came was Clay Barring the lights, but the result wasn't near to the prestine look you got. Wish I came across your videos 4 years ago. Could of saved me a lot of time and money. God bless you.
Well you certainly did your good deed. I am going to try this. I'm surprised any light comes thru my cars headlights. I had my car serviced at Pep Boys, they told me it would cost $50 to replace each one. Because of your honesty, I subscribed. Thank you so much and God bless. 👌🙏
great job, questions pleaze,, 1st. step, bottle is water, you didn't indicate?, 2. 2nd step, what type of grit size? 3. just spray on the clear coat (exact type?) twice, no wiping? great job!!!
That was the best way to clean or restore your lights All the other videos only show u half ass tricks with toothpaste or wd40 or some other crap u showed the proper and professional way. What a good job thanks for all your knowledge and help it's very helpful
watching during covid lockdown (with no mask on) and this was awesome. my husband had bought an expensive kit to clean the headlights of my 2005 PT cruiser convertible! now he can return the kit he bought.
I saved this video. I bought a kit last year to restore the yellowing headlights on our 2003, es300 Lexus, but it didn’t work. I was impressed with your demonstration and will try it on our car.
Excellent. This particular video explains far more clearly how original protective shiny spray degrades, and then later the finals coats of the shiny protecting spray really bring the project to an excellent level. Other videos aren't so descritive. Thanks!
I have tired your method and my headlight looks like yours. I had used the the headlight restore on my other vechile and this is so much cheaper to apply. I only need some clear coat. Thanks for the tip. Keep them coming guy.
Thank you for this quick and easy fix. I'm always apprehensive about trying things myself but you made it look easy and the results were amazing. Thank you again, for your help!
I know this is an older video. But I just found it. Beautiful job! I never thought of wet sanding and then using the clear coat. And I actually have that same spray can of clear coat thank you so much! Good work :-)
That's one of the best Headlights restoring videos I have seen so far!!.. No Gicks or Gimmicks without spending a Fortune, but still get awesome Results!!.. Thanks for that !!!!.. and another quick tip for cleaning your Engine without water, just spray Tire Foam (wait 10min.) and blow it off.. Easy and simple for a quick cleaning..!! and if it doesn't take all the Dirt, just repeat and use a Special Paper Towel to wipe it all off... tight Areas you can use a Soft Bottle Cleaner !!!..Thanks and happy cleaning!!
Honestly the best,most effective and lasting method I've seen.i have to clean headlights like every couple of months or so because the sun beats them up without any protective clear coat.im trying this next for my daughters cars and ours.FRANK W.
I noticed at 6:08 it wasn't looking quite so perfect as he applied the second coat which obviously fucked it all up. He definitely wasn't bragging on that second coat was he? When it comes to doing something worth doing, knowledge, experience and the right materials for the job are a MUST. I know, I tried short cuts doing headlight restorations. I tried many approaches. Until recently I watched a video by Junky DIY guy on headlight restoration and what I found there was very informative and helped me a great deal. When using clear coat, you have to wait more than 5 minutes to apply second coat. I believe it is 20 to 30 minutes depending on where you live. I used clear coat years ago and after it cures 8 to 12 hours later you have to wet sand it again with 3000 grit to get rid of the orange peel texture of the coating. Then buff it out with a wool pad and polishing compound. GK7, you'll get it figured out, good luck with that. And I'm going to subscribe to your videos to see how you come along. Impress us all out here in UA-cam land.
Just what I was thinking---the clear coat has to cure longer than 5 minutes---SO glad you mentioned all the other steps involved, too...But, like he said, this IS the fastest & cheapest ( if that's all you're looking for/expect ).
No, it wasn't just you. That's exactly what I saw and I scrolled down to find a comment about it. It seemed the 2nd coat kind of ruined the shiny look. Unless it got shinny again after it got completely dry. But the 1st coat didn't need drying. So if I do this to my car, I will apply a bit heavier 1st coat and be done with it. I say a BIT heavier because I know too much of it will start running down and make a mess.
I just bought a "Mothers Nulez Headlight Restorer" for $29 + $19 200, 100-3000 sanding discs from Amazon. I plan to buy clearcoat, alcohol etc.and the other items you recommend. I have 3 cars that have never been cleaned so I decided to go all in. I'm doing neighbors too. David Alberta
Of all the headlight restoration videos I've seen, this has been the best and most efficient way that would work for me and my car right now. I'm excited to try this out soon! 😆👍🤘✨
Make sure the clear coat is for exterior use otherwise it will yellow. You did a great job. This is the absolute best procedure for restoring the lens.
This is absolutely AWESOME!! I actually bought new headlights because my headlights are pitiful. Thanks to this video I feel very sure I can do what you did here. I won the headlight pair on eBay; now after I do this to my car I can sell the headlights back on eBay since I won't need them. I wish I had seen this sooner. Pray for me that God will guide my hands as I follow exactly what you demonstrated here!! Thank you for this video!!
This is a great job on those lights. My only suggestion would be to use the 800 grit and again after the first clear coat then use 1000 grit wet sand. Again wipe it with rubbing alcohol and apply another clear coat. It will give you that deep shine and finish
Sand to remove damaged layer, use 3 grits of sand paper with the highest grit being your last, I use a 3000 grit. Clean with alcohol, polish the plastic headlight lens' with Plasti-X by Mcguires and then use a UV clear coat like another poster suggested, or I like to use wax, it makes them look amazing. That's just what I do. Wax doesn't leave trash under it like clearcoat will. I started out doing what this video shows. To me the three grits of sand paper (800, 1000, 3000- or similar) makes the smoothest area, and the plastic polish makes it pop and look like glass, I prefer to then use a wax for the smoothest and best wet-look ) Then I polish/wax the lights lens when I wax the whole car. Use a electric buffer to apply and remove the polish and wax and it's stunning. Alot of work but cheaper than a new headlight.
When painting a car using base coat clear coat paint, your required to sand the base coat down before applying the clear coat. Doesn't make much sense, however that's what will bring back the shine. Still prefer acrylic enamel paint, however, acrylic enamel is now nonexistant in the auto painting world.
Thanks for the great tuition, bought the required products, cost me 28 au dollars. Resto kit 50 dollars. No braina , saved myself 130 dollars on a RWC.
Thats awesome!! I took my car to have the plastic lenses professionally cleaned and it didnt look any different. They charged me $80 after i complained about the $100 price tag. Im going to do this myself. Thank you for sharing.
One coat was okay. Second coat created a haze in the center. Clear coat reduces the headlight beam strength so I think 1 coat is okay... it can be redone in 6 months. Great video. Kudos. Thank you for sharing.
Yeah,I think dude went too far in effort to give a dynamic finish....I’m not a fan of the sanding method.It kills the integrity of the lens. Baking soda and distilled vinegar followed by Wipe New Headlight Restore will give long lasting results. That clear coat rattle can spray is not going to hold up and eventually look whack again.
I've a 2014 Toyota sequoia, and mine are doing the same thing. I'll have to try this before shelling out the big bucks they want for new ones. Thx guy👍👍👍👍👍
Just some constructive criticism here. After you sand it with the coarser grit clean it and then go back over with at least 1000 grit. That will make the surface very even and smooth. And after the first clear coat drys, wet sand it with say something like a 1500 grit. Apply another clear coat, wet sand and apply at least one more clear coat. And if you want to truly make it last and protect the clear coat. Allow the clear coat to cure over night. Then polish it and finally put a good coat of carnival wax to help seal and protect it. Then all have to do is once a month wax it and every few months polish then wax. And it should last for years and looking new.
If you noticed, he sprayed the clear coat on the car paint, and also he didn't mask out the headlight lenses either. And last, if the clear coat of spray paint that he used isn't UV Protected, his work was done in vain.
Wow Man!!!!! I'm doing this to my car this week!!!! I have bad corossion on my headlights! If it works I'm gonna do my Mama's too!!!!! Thanks soooo much!!!!!☺️
Great video man. I think the only error was you let it dry out after the first coat of clear. Usually you need a certain amount of flash time in between coats. If you let it dry completely, you will see the haze after your second coat.
I agree with this. I did my headlights a few days ago. Did three coats on both. The first headlight was great. The second was hazy. I left about 10 mins between coats. I sanded it back, and left 3-5 mins between coats, and it looks great now.
Thank you for the video instructions and demonstation. I don't understand how you were able to do this with just the 800 grit sandpaper. All the kits and YT demos *specifically Chris Fix and Wilson Auto Detailing) went through several grades of sandpaper from course to fine. My headlights are BAD. 2005 Scion xA ... gotta do something - new pair of headlight assemblies are still awful high at $200 :( I am almost 63 and that is a lot of money but I don't want to get into a job I don't have the strenght to do well / complete. (thumbs have arthritis pretty bad - I have so little strength and I know they will hurt for a few days after a job like this - however, I did just put a new wax ring and all the tank inerds in 1 of my commodes... took me 3 days lol and I suffered with pretty bad pain in arms/shoulders/hands - but Imma tell you my toilet is SECURE and Flushes like a pro - and no leaks :) )
I live with the health issues as you!! To be honest my 2006 ford feasta headlights where in a apolling condition, After days of research came upon a channel that convinced me to tackle the job myself, OK it took me 2 days to restore the headlights because of this painfull condition, But the result is truly amazing, I strongly recommend visiting this channel "The headlight restoration pro" All his instruction tutorials are filmed in real time and a joy to watch!!! Goodluck from a 72years old 😉👍🇬🇧
Yes I am going to try this and save money. They quoted $100.00 at the shop to restore my headlights. The kits are expensive also. I think one coat does the trick instead of two. When it starts to fog up again then I would wet sand it again like you did, clean with rubbing alcohol and then use the Rustoleum Clear Gloss. spray. Great video!
Hello everyone and thanks for watching, you guys are right one clear coat is good enough, also this was a parts car that's why I didn't mask around the headlight. Thank you and have a blessed day.
Dude, your video can't be liked for better ranking. You need to change your setting.
What name of the glass coat
Good video! Appreciate the time you took to share. 2 thumbs up bro. Peace

No it's not
I'm gonna watch before commenting but don't hold yer breath. Ok, edit. This ain't new, ya just have to keep doing it as often as yearly.
I know right
I tried it on a 2013 Prius. It works!!! Highly recommended!!!

Awesome thanks
Where did you buy the products? I would like to try this!!!
Excellent demo! Low grit sandpaper and water spray make for good wet sanding. Just to get the oxidation off. No polishing required. Thanks!👍🏾
Looked way better with just the one coat!
It worked just like he said. My daughter couldn't see when she was driving at night. Now, she can see the road! YAY! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
I tried it on my 2007 Silverado. Let me tell you it works, it absolutely works very well. It worked better than a $30 3M product I used on my BMW. To hell with the naysayers this guy is telling the truth it works!
Better than that thirty dollars McGuire's I bought to. This way from now on.
This guy is good
Best I’ve seen!!! This assures me that I can do it myself and I don’t need to purchase new headlights
I’m definitely gonna try it. The first coating of the clear coat does look better. If I wasn’t too lazy to go to the store I would do mine today.
I did mine yesterday just exactly the same way you did Omg! they look like new. Thank you so very much
Awesome
So did you wash it off with just water and soap when using the sand paper?
@@yvonnengwenya1390 Clear water only, then wipe down with clean cloth so you don't leave any residue on the lenses before painting.

Is it just me, or did the first coat look much better than the final coat?

Yeah that "clear coat spray is also gonna be blowing" all over your car unless you use a garbage cut out the headlight and retape it off.

And if you want to truly make it last and protect the clear coat. Allow the clear coat to cure over night. Then polish it and finally put a good coat of carnival wax to help seal and protect it. Then all have to do is once a month wax it and every few months polish then wax. And it should last for years and looking new.
If you noticed, he sprayed the clear coat on the car paint, and also he didn't mask out the headlight lenses either. And last, if the clear coat of spray paint that he used isn't UV Protected, his work was done in vain.
@@earthorigins3509 he said in the beginning that the car was a "parts" car so he didn't really care about the paint.
@@earthorigins3509 it will come back in a few weeks unless you use 2k clear
Wow Man!!!!! I'm doing this to my car this week!!!! I have bad corossion on my headlights! If it works I'm gonna do my Mama's too!!!!! Thanks soooo much!!!!!☺️
This is the best way I've seen this done, and it makes sense. Thank you bro.
This absolutely works. I tried it first on a 2000 Jimmy before I tried anything else. Headlight looks like new. Thank you!
Awesomely
Great video man. I think the only error was you let it dry out after the first coat of clear. Usually you need a certain amount of flash time in between coats. If you let it dry completely, you will see the haze after your second coat.
True thanks
I agree with this. I did my headlights a few days ago. Did three coats on both. The first headlight was great. The second was hazy. I left about 10 mins between coats. I sanded it back, and left 3-5 mins between coats, and it looks great now.
My 2011 Silverado head lights are starting to get that hazed over look that was easy I will be doing that soon thanks
How did it go?
fast ~ low cost, too ~ excellent ~ thanks ~
Lincoln Fong did you try it?? Did it work?
Perfect i have a honda Accord 1999 same issues ty dude Awesome info !
Damn!!!!! Someone finally figured it out thanks buddy!!!!!
Thanks for the excellent video. Looks like you got the best result with one coat.
Good video 👍!! I'm going to do it to my 2005 Dakota,I was going to order new one's but I'm gonna try this!! Thanks
You're welcome
Thank you for the video instructions and demonstation. I don't understand how you were able to do this with just the 800 grit sandpaper. All the kits and YT demos *specifically Chris Fix and Wilson Auto Detailing) went through several grades of sandpaper from course to fine. My headlights are BAD. 2005 Scion xA ... gotta do something - new pair of headlight assemblies are still awful high at $200 :( I am almost 63 and that is a lot of money but I don't want to get into a job I don't have the strenght to do well / complete. (thumbs have arthritis pretty bad - I have so little strength and I know they will hurt for a few days after a job like this - however, I did just put a new wax ring and all the tank inerds in 1 of my commodes... took me 3 days lol and I suffered with pretty bad pain in arms/shoulders/hands - but Imma tell you my toilet is SECURE and Flushes like a pro - and no leaks :) )
I live with the health issues as you!! To be honest my 2006 ford feasta headlights where in a apolling condition, After days of research came upon a channel that convinced me to tackle the job myself, OK it took me 2 days to restore the headlights because of this painfull condition, But the result is truly amazing, I strongly recommend visiting this channel "The headlight restoration pro" All his instruction tutorials are filmed in real time and a joy to watch!!! Goodluck from a 72years old 😉👍🇬🇧
Thank you so much for this information. Thanks for sharing.
You're absolutely welcome
That seems fast and great and within my budget.thank u so much.
Yes I am going to try this and save money. They quoted $100.00 at the shop to restore my headlights. The kits are expensive also. I think one coat does the trick instead of two. When it starts to fog up again then I would wet sand it again like you did,
clean with rubbing alcohol and then use the Rustoleum Clear Gloss. spray. Great video!
$100?!? I would have told them to kiss my azz-as I walked off..
Amazing. Great job!
