So rare to find a video that is: informative, to the point, clear, concise, and the person isn't acting like a sociopath during it. Great video

[@ClintHolland]

Thanks Greg. I think you now officially have my most favorite comment ever on my channel.

[@mikeunt7021]

Found this video after watching Project Farm. You are both equally detailed and thorough in your research and testing at your own expense so that the rest of us may benenfit immensely. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will never go hungry. You quickly earned a sub from me.

I appreciate the kind comments and for you watching. Love ProjectFarm as well. Thanks and have a great day.

Same thing here. Project Farm

[@roberta949]

Thanks buddy, This was the only update I could find on the Sylvania. My experience is I did one car with the Spray Max 2000K aerosal clearcoat. The other with Sylvania Headlight Restoration kit. I sanded both to 3000 grit. I liked the results of both, however they were quite different. The 2000K clear coat is toxic so you have to wear a mask to spray. You also have to really know how to layer properly with a spray can and you can screw up. Since you are spraying you have to mask off a significant portion of the car. You have to know what you are doing. It was a great deal more hassle but the results were a much thicker and harder coating which still looks about the same after a year. The Sylvania was easy peasy and a total no brainer. I have to try and mess up. The downside is it is a much thinner coating and not as hard so it doesn't last as long. It is not quite as crystal clear. After a year Sylvania is still looking nice but not like the original application. I can get a couple of years out a Sylvania application where a properly done 2000K clear coat spray will get me 4+ years. It is obvious the thicker 2000K clear coat is going to be a LOT more sanding to get down to original lens cover to redo. All said and done I think I would stick with the Sylania having more frequent but easier reapplications.

[@ClintHolland]

Great feedback and thanks for sharing that with us.

[@shawnd567]

Yeah I just ran into this issue. My 2k clear coat repaired headlights started to yellow after 5 years. Sanding that off was an absolute PITA. I had to go all the way down to 180 grit. So this time I used the Sylvania kit. OMG was that easy. I could easily 1000 grit and reapply every year and it would be less work than the 2k clear coat.

[@harryinoklahoma1866]

There is another KZbinr, "Project Farm" that compared a bunch of headlight restore kits and this Sylvania and the 3M kit were the best by far. I'm going with this Sylvaina kit.

[@ClintHolland]

Very familiar with his work. Love his style and how he compares all of them.

[@ragv2310]

Same here! I haven’t used the kit yet. 😂

[@tousshong9438]

I just got done watch the Project Farm video but this one helps because the after affect on the headlight. Was wondering if he apply so clear coat spray over this last step will help the headlights stay new for more then a 1?

Just used the Sylvania kit after watching project farm. Literally brand new. Incredible product!!! I loved the 1 year update. I think you can use the highest grit sandpaper and reapply the uv. Probably take 5 minutes.

[@adriahaddy258]

I followed your instructions today to a "T", Clint and my headlights came out beautiful. Thank you for making this video and waiting a year after you made it to post it to show your viewers what your headlights look like a year later.

[@ClintHolland]

Glad it helped and they turned out beautiful.

[@heckyesjess3394]

Short, sweet, and to the point while still being thorough! I drive a 10 year old mazda with headlights dim enough that I had been considering just getting a new car. Then looked into getting new headlight housing instead. Then started looking at restoration kits. I am definitely not a car person but after watching this video specifically I'm confident I'll be able to try this on my car. Thank you!!

[@ClintHolland]

Awesome. Give it a try and let us know how it turns out.

[@xxthehuskycaboosexx]

Video is clear and concise, no filler garbage! Will be picking up this headlight cleaning kit tomorrow, appreciate the how to and year update!

[@iTzDaNiiLo]

Hey Clint, I really appreciate this video. Very well done, straight to the point, no bs. And the year update is an amazing plus. Holding the vid for a year is pure dedication! Project farm had the best results with this kit and the 3M one. But this kit making you manually sand both headlights for 5 mins with each grit that's 40 minutes of just sanding. YIKES! And like you said, doing this every year would be a pain in the rear

[@ClintHolland]

Completely agree. There has to be a better way. I think next I am going to try redoing the kit and then using ceramic coating every so often to see if that keeps the yellowing away.

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

reclear coating is the only way so far

[@xtrickster6556]

​@@ClintHollandceramic coating really does help a lot. I did it on mine.

[@gregr7270]

Just used this kit on my 2002 117k suburban. Worked great.

[@asdf072xxp]

Thanks so much for the update! Any of these kits will do a good job of making headlights look good again, but it's the protectant that makes the difference in longevity. The best kit I've used is the LightRite. My headlights stayed perfect for 2.5 years sitting outside in the sun. (After that, instead of turning yellow again, the coating will start to peel off.) Unfortunately, it's really expensive and hard to find now.

[@ClintHolland]

I believe you are correct. None of them just seem to hold up. I will try to find that LightRite kit and review it too.

[@davidpowell3347]

There is now a Turtlewax "2 in one headlight cleaner and sealer" product that might help keep the fogging from coming back if used a few times (like every time after a carwash) a year not a heavy duty "restoration" but might help maintain ?

[@catalina2113]

Just did it, sanding can be tiring especially if you are not use it....totatlly worth it. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!

[@ClintHolland]

Awesome. You are completely right, it can be very tiring if you aren't used to it.

[@josephhalpin5331]

Great video. Wax your headlights once a year and you will slow down the oxidation process significantly after restoration. You can also wax your headlights new from the factory once a year to greatly slow down the oxidation process. Best, JB

[@irecruitfish7410]

That was awesome that you showed a 1-year update

[@watch_kitty]

Heya, quick tip Sylvania offers a limited lifetime warranty on these and will (from my experience at least) send you another kit for free if there's yellowing after a while. Great video, 10/5!

[@ClintHolland]

Good point. I actually had enough left over to probably do it again, I just dont want to have to do this every year.

Oh cool! Definitely good to know that little known info.

@@ClintHollanddid you end up doing it again?

[@ClintHolland]

I did. But this time I also used Meguiars Keep Clear and I am going to see how well it works to keep it from yellowing again.@@wolfeadventures

[@JohnSmith-hm1lj]

​​@@ClintHollandI've had good luck with the McGuire's coating in the past, I actually came to the comment specifically to mention the warranty as I'm just about to get them to send me a new kit under it. Mine lasted 2 years, and I'm in the South too. The UV down here is just brutal. Just had a headlight replaced not all that long ago under an insurance repair (guy hit me) so of course now the yellowed one looks really bad by comparison. I think I am going to try putting the McGuire spray over the brand new one just to see if it helps to delay the process though. I also like their plastx for the final polish before coating.

[@slowjamcdub]

Wow good job on the follow up update a year later! That’s so cool very few people do that. Thank you

[@ClintHolland]

Appreciate that and thank you for watching.

[@_Nordfors]

Great video. I just used this kit on a 2008 Volvo where the lenses were in extremely poor condition; solid matte yellow. They now look brand new. That said, instead of 5 minutes of sanding per phase/grit, I did almost 10 for the 400, and around 7 for sequential phases. I was surprised how little of the final treatment UV solution was needed. Sylvia is says “the thicker the better” so I was liberal with it. That said, I’m around 20 hours since finishing and it doesn’t feel completely set to me. I’m in a cool climate with current temps 6C or 43-ish F. Just a heads up if you’re in a climate like me. In addition, the UV protectant is harsh. Make sure you’re in a well ventilated space.

[@ClintHolland]

Great tips on the temperature and having to wait a little longer. We don't generally get those temps down south so I forget that other areas have to take those into consideration.

[@coolcat23]

It is amazing that you included a "1 Year Update"! Unfortunately, I find the result after one year quite disappointing.

[@ClintHolland]

You and me both. Someone needs to make a kit that lasts.

[@fishfoolishness4222]

I did this 3yrs ago and its as bad as ever. Don't think anything lasts much longer. Had enough of this kit to repeat the process so will just do it again. Using toothpaste instead of the last polish. Should be good enough .🤔😁

[@valaus90]

Jesus man finally some one who shows something real, that’s pretty good for the cost and the time invested, better than pay new headlights is have at least one year to enjoy the job done. 😄

[@ClintHolland]

Thank you. I haven't finished testing it yet but also check out Meguiars Keep Clear headlight coating. It is supposed to keep this from happening but I am still in the middle of testing it.

[@wingrider1004]

Just used this kit. It did an exceptional job.

[@ClintHolland]

It really does. Check out Meguiar's Keep Clear. I haven't finished testing it but so far the results are promising. It keeps you from having to redo this every year.

[@MrTman4266]

I just used your video to do my headlights and it came out great. Thanks

[@ClintHolland]

Great to hear. Glad it worked out for you and thanks for watching.

[@ctuagent247]

Spraying some Meguiar's Headlight Coating on a week after doing the restoration (and then spraying it on once a year after that) will keep the yellow damage from happening again.

[@ClintHolland]

I am actually testing that stuff out now and will have a video of that soon.

[@HoloCoCos]

@@ClintHolland Cool! I'm interested on the results. This is what I'm willing to do. My headlight is good, however there are some peels on the UV protection (2016 car). I'm afraid if I restore it, I'll remove all the factory UV protection and it will deteriorate faster.

[@ClintHolland]

@@HoloCoCos You are almost certainly correct. Every aftermarket system I have tested has never lasted nearly as long as the OEM coating.

[@gblargg]

@@ClintHolland I wonder if the yellowing can be tracked at a finer level, say by taking photos every month at night with a flash (so the light level is the same every photo).

[@ClintHolland]

@@gblargg I am sure it can. I suspect the deterioration isn't linear but rather stays pretty decent for probably 6-9 months before you start noticing it.

[@curato28]

i try the brand from the turtle and i didn’t have the great result that you have , and almost last the year also try meguiars brand the blue one and the turtle was better but i saw that most of the products last the year i think these one did a pretty good job next time i gonna try silvanya brand

[@Slider68]

If you're thinking of doing another headlight restoration video, I'd be interested in seeing you review the Cerakote Headlight Restoration Kit. I've got 5 cars with dull, yellow headlights and have been researching my options (including using my own DIY kit). After several hours of online research I believe the 3M kit does the best headlight prep, the Sylvania kit produces the best results initially, and the Cerakote kit provides the best long term UV protection for the plastic lenses. Most importantly I'd like a long term solution, but I'd also like the headlights to look their best if possible. Maybe I need to purchase some 3M sand paper and a Cerakote kit...

[@ClintHolland]

I will add that to my list of ideas. Thanks for the feedback.

[@davidsturgis5477]

Great video 👍 I watched and paused as I did the restoration on my 2012 KIA Sorento headlights. No extra babbling in video, and hot all the important details. Hope the clear lens lasts 🤞🏽

[@ClintHolland]

Thank you. That is exactly what I was going for.

[@free322001]

It's good to add painters tape AFTER you have applied and removed activator as it will drip and loosen your tape right up.

[@ClintHolland]

Great tip and you are correct.

[@gamerguy6990]

I plan to use this and apply a film over the headlights to keep them clear for longer

[@ClintHolland]

I have been hearing about this film. What film are you going to try?

[@jjjpetersen]

Thx for the year later viewing. 👍

[@toyotabrony]

It looks very good. Holds up very very decent. I don’t mind doing that. But I’m my Situation, my brother in law’s 2005 Toyota sienna headlights looks like this. But I would prefer oem headlight replacement. And I would get them applied wirh plexus. Get them spray every couple times a year to prevent gettin worked up from the sun.

[@G-regular503]

I e used this product on 3 of my early 2000's foresters. I love it. If you do it right and take your time with the sanding, i cheated and used 3m wet dry stuff but I've had great results for about a year and a half. Better than 200 for the new buckets

[@ClintHolland]

Agreed. I am currently testing a product that claims it will keep it from yellowing again. Will have a video out on that one day.

[@ClintHolland]

I haven't tried that but there is a new product call Meguiars Keep Clear I believe that is supposed to prevent the yellowing if applied once per year.

[@faxmen09]

Nice video. I wonder if you had re-applied the clear coat protectant at say 6 months if it would have kept the new-ish look at one year. Thanks for year update. I prefer the hand sand kits just because I'm afraid I'd do something stupid with the drill sanding kits.

If they look good still, stay away from this stuff. You can actually just wax them with a wax that has UV sealants in it and get more longevity out of it. Don't use this stuff until they look bad.

[@rossjanke1386]

Is it worth putting a second coat of the UV clear coat 6 hrs after the the first coat? The instructions say thicker is better.

I don't think it will increase the longevity of how long it lasts before it yellows but it may help make them look better initially. Definitely would make them smoother but I think they would still turn yellow in less than a year.

[@carlossmith2500]

Is this kit hood enough for both front headlights ??? Or is the kit just good for just one headlight ???

[@onlysadnessremain]

Worked good for both of mine

[@ClintHolland]

@@onlysadnessremain You can definitely do 2 and there is probably enough left over to do 3 or even 4, depending on how big your headlights are.

[@denvercolorado811]

I have the budget to buy new headlights (left and right) or buying a restoration kit. What would you do if you were in my position? Buy new headlights or do restoration?

[@ClintHolland]

Personally I would buy new headlights. If you do this kit, you are going to be redoing it every year and while it is pretty cheap, it's still work you have to do every year.

[@stevemack6747]

those paint chips are brutal!

[@ClintHolland]

Agreed. That's what 20 years of living on the coast will do for you.

[@americantruckeringermany8394]

That's crazy took you a year to finish this video haha. But great job. I have a question, did you apply any kind of uv protectantt wax every few months to protect the clear coat? Malco makes good wax

[@ClintHolland]

Yep, sometimes it just takes time. I did not but I am currently testing Meguiars Keep Clear headlight formula which is supposed to keep this from happening. Check back soon.

[@kenholt8297]

Hmm... Had I seen this video before I purchased my Sylvania kit, I wouldn't have spent the money on the kit!! Simply using Turtle wax scratch remover(or equivalent) would last a year and is much cheaper!

[@ClintHolland]

You are correct. So many cheaper products that do the same thing and last about the same time. I am currently testing a product called Keep Clear from Meguiars.

[@sibbreeuwsma5277]

[@ClintHolland]

Thanks and thank you for watching.

[@MikulRobins]

thank you

[@ClintHolland]

Absolutely. Thank you for watching.

[@overlandtennessee3340]

Great video thank you

[@matthewnguyen6961]

Did you do each step for each headlight at the same time? Or just the last step? Thank you. Great results and thank you for the review. I bought this kit for my car.

[@ClintHolland]

All at the same time.
