It's no secret that harsh elements (particularly the sun) can be damaging to your car's appearance...this is especially true with regards to plastic headlights, those of which can be found on pretty much every modern car available. In this video we show what we have found to be the best method for restoring your headlights to "like new" condition.
Tools
o 2000 Grit wet/dry sandpaper (Part #03023)
o Any Household Drill
o Towel
o Water
o 3M Scratch Removed Kit (what's in the box below)
-- 3000 Grit wet/dry sandpaper (Part #03064)
-- 3M Corse Buffing Pad (Part #05759)
-- 3M Fine Buffing Pad (Part #05726)
-- 3M Rubbing Compound (Part #03900)
-- 3M Polish aka Scratch Remover (Part #39044)
-- Velcro Drill Buffing Pad Adaptor
*READ*
The majority of these parts come in the 3M Scratch Remover Kit for $12 on Amazon so DON'T BUY THESE PARTS SEPARATELY- it's a waste of money. The only thing you will need to buy separately is the 2000 grit sandpaper.

Nice video, but here are two tips for a faster more effective job: First, never use circular motions except for the final buff. Start you roughest grit running lengthwise. Then move up a grit and run 90 degrees to the previous sand and remove ALL traces of the lengthwise scratches. Then step up a grit and remove all up and down scratches. Basically every time you switch grits, switch directions. Using that method, you can remove some heavy discoloration or gouges. This method was developed years back for repairing aircraft windscreens. Second, run water on the lens WHILE sanding. This will flush particles from the grit and make it cut a lot faster. I've done it in the rain and it works a lot better.

U should spray a clear coat after to protect the finish. Also without the clear coat this won't be a long term solution. Will start to oxidize again immediately without a clear coat spray. I used exact same process as her but with a drill and after used duplicolor non yellow gloss clear. The clear makes my plastic look like glass which is awesome. I'd recommend following her steps and just adding 3 light coats of clear coat after.

You should add a sealant after you polish the light so that you keep that new appearance. The sanding and polishing removes the oxidation and clouding of the light but also removes the original coating from the manufacturer. Using something like JetSeal 109 or another sealant will keep the like-new look and keep out impurities and that would cause additional haze and cloudiness.
@kevinvines1846

This is absolutely correct. You need to seal the lens afterward with some sort of UV protection or it will haze right back up in a short time.

Good video but those headlights are going to come back hazy after a couple months. You still need a UV protection layer which would make the restoration last a lot longer.
@PilotThumper
@PilotThumper 9 жыл бұрын
It will take a lot more than a few months. Current plastic housing headlights have the UV protectant in the actual plast themselves (this is why you no longer see UV cracking on the outer layers of newer headlights). On older plastic lenses this was an issue as the lenses were effectivly clear coated like the rest of the car was when it was painted. It is still a good idea to use some for of protectant on the lights to help increase the lifespan of the lights. On my clients cars I will paint seal/wax there lights just like there paint which will increase the lifespan of the lenses if properly maintained.

Looks great but, it'll be back to yellow in no time flat. The yellow is caused when the UV protection where's away and the plastic cooks under then sun. After sanding, you need to paint with a UV protecting clear coat. At least three coasts. Allow to fully cure, two weeks. Then do the rubbing compound and polish.

Just use 3M headlight restore kit then plastic polish. Comes out great. 2000 or even 1000 grit just doesn't get deep enough. The 3M kit comes with a 800 grit pad for the wheel. Gets out the deepest oxidation. Using soapy water while sanding works best.

x2 for the 3M kit. Basically the same as what she did, but all comes together with compound etc. runs way cheaper too, $30 for everything including buffing pad, compound, tape to do on the car etc. This is def. the right way to do this, tip for anyone that reads this .. don't go to the lowest grit (roughest) first... I only used the 800 spraying with soap/water the entire time keeping it wet (on the drill) then switched to the trizect (3000grit) kept it wet and then did the compound... my headlights came out perfect just as hers did above. great work though!!

Clear coat? WTF? While I can see the need for this on ancient cars, anyone buying a new car who has 2 brain cells to rub together would simply get their lenses coated with XPel Ultimate Paint Protection Film. I have my entire 2016 M3 covered in it (except the roof) and the car looks brand new a year in. My previous car as well... had it 3 years, looked brand spanking new when I sold it. Don't be dumbasses anymore people... PPF has been around for a decade at least, and having only your headlights done is cheap as shit, and far easier than this dumbass bullshit, roflmao

Anyone with "2 brain cells to rub together" would realize that it's foolish to blow $69.99 on an XPEL headlight kit when $2.00 worth of high solids UV protecting clear coat will provide a tougher polymerization layer that will last for years as well. There's a reason that auto manufacturers use it to protect paint instead of a film. Plus, if you really insist on using a film, the Scotchguard Pro series rates higher in just about every way than XPEL (scratch/marking/scuffing resistance, auto-healing, and gloss), and it's considerably cheaper. There are several KZbin videos comparing the major brands.

+Colton McCormack Scotchguard, lolol. I'll trust what the pros use when they're wrapping supercars, and I've yet to hear ANYONE mention Scotchguard. I'd have never known they made films, had you not told me, so that's how good they are. When I need my carpet cleaned, I'll use Scotchguard, ha ha ha. And clearcoat isn't going to protect from the sandblasting of minute rock particulates. My headlights will look new for many years, as previous ones have, with a PPF, which is many times thicker and more resilient than a clear coat. -->"it's foolish to blow $69.99" That's what broke people say, not people with $80k cars who want them to look new during their ownership.

I about had my jaw hit the floor when my buddy told me about Deet to clean his headlights.....he took pure yellow headlights and put 29% deet insect repellent and sprayed on the lens, within 20 seconds wiped it off and then washed the lens with water. It took 80% of that yellow off, he did it a second time and it came out crystal clear. He washed it off, dried it off and then took clear coat enamel paint and put a layer on it....dried and looked brand new. 2 years later they are just now becoming yellow again. Took all of 5 minutes for him to do and the result was STUNNING. Costs far less than these kits and does a better job.

+nino -aka Automotive clear coat works well. Most automotive clear coats are UV resistant. An easy one to find is Dupli-color brand clear coat. Works well on headlights I've refinished.

Great job! Thumbs up! I saw another video where a guy does the whole sanding part restoration, but then he used clear coat that is non yellowing and UV resistant. It is technically a permanent solution to the problem. I will give it a try.

There are a lot of great ways to restore your dull headlights, but to keep them from becoming dull again is harder to do. Great videos, and a very gorgeous presenter ;)

jeff darnell I started with 800 grit (really gets the oxidation off) when I did mine, the higher grits removes the scratches from the lower grits, and honestly you can end at 2500, compound will buff it out, even by hand. Trust me, it works.

FYI... DIY... you know what works better? GLASS HEADLIGHTS. Plastic covers was a scam for more cost creation later... like your product list, or dealer service, or replacement. People need to stop being sheep to manufacturers...

Couldn't agree more. This woman has it going on. That's what they're all complaining about lately though. They want to be seen for the skill they have and not the body. I'm sure this woman is well aware she'd do much better in booty shorts and a bikini top but as you can tell by the amount of views this video has gotten, she didn't need to use her body. But would love to see the bikini version.

Soo, you have shown me the light;) I just tried the clear coat process of this and it was better then before, but not to the effect that I wanted. This is by far the nicer way, and you don't have to buy uv non yellowing clear coat, which we already had as my wife and I are both artists). Thanks for sharing!
