DANGEROUS Way to Restore Headlights?

[@flyryde]

To be clear, sanding your lights and finishing with Chloroform is a process that works well. And you shouldn’t do it.

[@Dallaswynne]

Well that sucks I just bought the kit a few days... But I didn't realise it was chloroform 😬👌😂 oops... We as the headlight building community really appreciate your videos!! Thanks 👍

[@flyryde]

@@Dallaswynne same here dude. I mean, I can’t say I had no clue what it was, but it was more of far off TV bad guy kind of feel, than a “Oh crap, this could kill me” realization. I hope it helps, even the morons it’s gonna piss off because I told them to be safe 👍

[@Dallaswynne]

@@flyryde I honestly can't get over how crazy your work is!! I've been building custom on and off for the last 5 years and your videos have really helped. So thanks bro!👌 You're a legend

[@Dallaswynne]

@@flyryde so I got my chloroform kit 😄 and I've tried it... it works really well... 🤷‍♂️ I just had to send everything 1000 grit

[@luinhaden]

I tried with a very similar kit and I had similar results. I got my money back. there just isn't enough steam.

[@sgfreak96]

Saw a random instagram video of the acetone vapors clearing up some headlights and found this video. Appreciate this video explaining the hazard of it, definitely won’t be trying that. My dad died from lung cancer, and while a lot of comments don’t seem to care about this stuff, I definitely do!!

[@GatorWinup]

Well, there are 3M masks that filter the organic vapors. I agree that these should be handled with care. However, given how quickly it works (relative to using polishing compound), I think it justifies the protection effort. The instruction says spacious. As long as there is no direct wind to the vapor outlet, ;the room can still be well ventilated. So it's ok.

[@Mr.Reign910]

Maybe wearing the proper mask for the vapors 💯

[@justmetuan]

How did it hold up after 3 years?

[@geckotube9]

This is inaccurate information. The liquid contains acetone (like in nail polish remover) and other commonly available chemicals. Do you think they'd let you order jars of chloroform on Amazon and eBay? Acetone can dissolve polycarbonate, which is what most "plastic" headlights are made of nowadays, which is how that vapor works.

The meguiars headlight restoration kit is what I use. I can make lights actually look new in about 15 minutes and they have uv protection after.

[@garforce2]

the fact they end with 800 grit is my clue to the fact they don’t know anything, I start with 1000 grit and end with 3000 then a buffing wheel

[@flyryde]

Yeah man, the tried and true is the only way I’d ever do it. Other guys that build full time are using Chloroform more frequently as time goes on. I don’t want to see dangerous trends form, even if the Pros are doing excellent work and being safe. I wasn’t, and I’m sure a lot of others won’t be either.

[@garforce2]

@@flyryde and you just showed us that it doesn’t really work as well, it didn’t make enough of a difference where anyone should be using this method. Thank you for saving others.

[@flyryde]

@@garforce2 to be fair (and honest) it actually works great. If you go through all of the steps needed to prep the surface, this method can be used to save some serious time. How well it hold up without being cleared, who knows. Still though, health > profit

Hey love your channel recently subscribed trying to find out how to remove haze inside HID headlights i have used two magnets with sterilised wipes (one magnet inside with a wipe and the other outside to move it around) and it has removed the dirt from the haze stain but the beam is still scattering when getting alignment. Any ideas how i could fix this?

[@electricautocustom5830]

Hello, I am using it daily on headlights and taillights, I am very satisfied about this solution. It won't work on headlights and taillights with clear cote (hope you understand the idea, I am not a native english speaker). I use cloroform after finishing the original liquid.

You can use acetone aswell !

[@alienapks]

[@TechGorilla1987]

It dawns on me that using nail polish remover in the cup is a viable option. Should work the same, and should it be used outdoors, be relatively safe. The results are fabulous, but the longevity is what I am trying to determine.

[@anguslean4058]

One to two years max Put a ceramic coating with UV protection on it Also use industrial grade acetone Not nail polish remover Has all kinds of crap in it

[@boots7859]

WTF do you mean by longevity? You're sanding polycarb and resurfacing with a solvent. There is no longer any UV protectant, so its going to be 6 months at the worst, to 1-2 years before you have to do it again. Get some Chemical Guys Jet Seal that will work on headlights over some 2K that won't, and you're good for a year. Then clean your headlights, and reaply with a microfiber towel and you're good for another year. Cermic coatings are good for 6 months, who's really going to remember or want to do that twice a year?

[@July-A7]

​@@boots7859spray 2k lacquer and it'll be good for 10 years or even longer. I did it 6 years ago. Sanded, polished, cleaned, sprayed lacquer, sanded again and polished. Still good as brand new.

[@nicholaslindo1777]

[@ShaneJMcNair]

Use a 3M organic compound charcoal filter mask. It's in the MSDS SHEETS. Yes, breathing fresh air is bad, but not breathing is what will kill you... try it if you think I'm wrong. There is nothing wrong with showing properly safe handling of chemicals. If you have handled printed materials, you have touched MEK, Methyl Ethyl Keytone at some time in you life, JS 🤔

[@laurcen]

Unrelated question: I just got me these switch back led strips and I’m trying to dim them down to low power mode when I turn my headlights on. Anyone have any ideas?

[@CheapRidesAutoSales]

Suggesting clearcoat its dumbest idea of all, not only also makes horrible fumes, its hard to apply and easy to mess up, but in a few weeks with the heat of the light, it will yellow out, not to mention it will most likely start coming off after a few months, just buff it after the sanding and then wax it every now and then.

[@99sports64]

Old comment but Using a 2k clear is perfectly fine for this. 2k clear is very heat and UV resistant, it will NOT peel or yellow over time if your using the right product, and your application is good. Do some research, this is probably the most comprehensive longest lasting option.

[@amtyn95]

I used it personally after sandind down the hazzy headlight with 600 ,800,1000,2000 then hit it up with chloroform then it will be as brand new but the way you used it in the video it wont work its just the game of sanding

[@thenotoriousflip4275]

Yeah, the issue is that the chemical is designed to melt the plastic. It can't melt the 2 pack clear coat that headlights come from the factory with.

[@stefanr.3495]

Mate, you're clueless. Sand headlights to a haze, use acetone instead of that dodgy chloroform. Acetone is nail polish remover. Acetone is a metabolite of alcohol in liver :). So no, it's not great, but not as bad as you think. There are plenty of videos out there on how to do it. Good point not to use any blue liquid in a bottle for that, but acetone is okay-ish to use, minus the risk of torching ur car.
