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.

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!!

[@SA-cx1gk]

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!

[@stacymcpherson349]

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.

[@valencialowery4322]

Right look better with just one coat.

[@sony3694]

Wow, great job!!! Fast, economical!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@dozercorbin2694]

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 KZbin land.

[@stephenohluk2019]

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 ).

[@violetbuchanan4252]

Well done my friend,I will be doing that with my 2004 Ford Focus.

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.

[@mr.juicethebeetle3373]

Is it really that bad to get clear coat on your paint?

[@mkb5984]

Must have happened to his dumbazz😂

[@Thunderbyrd.]

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.

[@denverdanoreno]

But if your time is valued at $200 it is a hobby right?

[@danbasta3677]

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.
