Headlight Restoration EMERGENCY - permanent damage 🚑

[@ShasCarDetailing]

Did my first headlight restoration the other day using all the gear listed in the bio and following the process and wow, it turned out amazing. I was a little nervous but after the seeing the clarity after the tricact stage eased me. The only thing I mucked up on was the coating on the first headlight I sprayed. I forgot to warm it up, first time spraying and I over saturated it and got a small 💧 drip. The right one came out ok. Thank you for the videos it really is a godsend. The thought of wet sanding before I watched all your videos never really appealed to me- time, effort, gauging how much to sand etc. so definitely your method is the way forward

Awesome man I'm glad it's working out... Really good to hear this and appreciate you viewing..👍🏽

[@Michael-hg6ky]

The permanent damage was a bummer but the best part is your compassion for the customer with an emergency for his mother to be safe and willingness to do the job without sticking it to them after a long day. Great headlights for sure but a true business man for the long game. Salute to you HRP.

Every detailer out there needs to be watching your videos. I’m at the point now where I just hit the like button before I even finish your video. Thanks for not being selfish with your knowledge.

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

I think you I really appreciate your continued viewing and support... Try to put it out there the best I can no holding back no sugar coating......

[@LetThereBeHeadlight]

Better yet, compile a list of local detailers, ID who don't do HR and partner with them to build more business for yourself - reciprocal agreement to share business 👍

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

@LetThereBeHeadlight yeah that's the thing...I do what they do cheaper and better & a whole lot more (restoration services as well)

@@theheadlightrestorationpro Agreed. Your are well established within your local market. Most (tho not all) of us (your followers, such as I) are in earlier stages of business development (say, 6-24 months). My comment above was directed at those individuals. Initially, entering a market, I seek partner opportunities and relationships rather than aggravating competitors - they can become partner opportunities once well established. It isn't that we should be afraid of competition, rather, Its an approach that allows us to choose both the place and time of our battles (competition) to our maximum benefit. If your local market is heavy on detailers (or direct competitors), I have found from previous experience (not related to this service specifically, tho I am going through that currently) that significant competitors can dramatically effect your launch plans if you awaken them too early and they perceive you has a notable threat to their business - I know, huge market and all that, but I don't want the guy down the block to make my launch more difficult, I'll deal with him when circumstances are in my favor.

had this exact situation today on a 2006 3 series BMW!. couldn't "clear" the cracks no matter what I tried. you just answered it!! awesome as always!!

[@dandydonslife9869]

Headlight pro, another great restoration with lots of info to boot, enjoyed watching and look forward to the next one.

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Thank you for your continued support 😊🙏🏽

This video illistrates a problem that i have when deciding whether to start with a P500 or a P800. These headlights are so bad i would never have thought to start with a P800. It's hard to explain to people on camera when to use what grit to start. Great video though.

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Yeah people have to use their own decisions...

How much you Charge for each light

[@triplethreatoutdoors6523]

Are you using the drill n reverse when sanding?

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

It's no reverse in terms of doing headlight restoration are using the drill in this manner.. ONLY the right and left. That's how I view it the spindle turns right or the spindle turns left..

[@triplethreatoutdoors6523]

@@theheadlightrestorationpro I got ya, was just curious it looked like it was going left, guess it really don’t make a difference.

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

@triplethreatoutdoors6523 not much to torque changes a little bit but doesn't really make a difference.

[@Dr.RealTalk]

What's the average time that it takes you to restore headlights?

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

I was trying per vehicle is about 45 minutes and that equates to about 15 minutes per headlight.... Another 15 minutes for taping off and chit chat with customer.. But the typical range is about 45 minutes to an hour...

[@Dr.RealTalk]

​@theheadlightrestorationpro Ok thanks... Do you recommend any other 3m tape besides the green?

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

@BIGPHINS772 never use any other tape except for automotive finish tape which is green....

[@Dr.RealTalk]

​​​@@theheadlightrestorationpro Today I got a roll of the green 3m from Discont auto part store. And it removed some paint. The vehicle was painted a year ago. Do you think that may have happened because the tape was old? I don't think ppl purchase tape there a lot. Because it seemed to be overly adhesive.

[@Dr.RealTalk]

​​@@theheadlightrestorationpro Yeah that's the one that I use. I normally order from amazon. But today I picked up a role from discount auto parts, and I noticed the roll seemed overly adhesive. I tested a little area and it was ok. But after I restored the headlights and removed the paint. Unfortunately the tape pulled up paint around one of the headlights. The vehicle is old, and the last paint job was last year sometimes. So do you think the tape may have been too old, and over adhesive. Therefore, caused that to happen?

[@Collinormous]

Dang - I've got glinting and was hoping there was some way to fix it. Oh 🐳

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Sorry to hear that yeah there's no way to fix it at all you have to melt it down again which is not goingI turn out correct..lol

[@bishop2355]

1st!

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Awesome 👍🏽

[@aaronfuksa2047]

Now the harder question...how much do they need to pay to get the inside lens restored.😅 I got a aluminum foiled box with a heat gun. And rtv sealant. Im not 100% positive, but 400+ grit sanding may be required before moving toward polishing the inside out to get all the glinting removed. Yeah i got this glinting defect recently, darn.

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Yeah you can't be removed like I Said in the video and title... it's permanent damage... inside the material not the headlight..

@@theheadlightrestorationpro I'll take your word for it, and play with the matter on the side. I see those indian villagers putting in the skill on thiers headlight repairs.

@aaronfuksa2047 yeah that sounds about accurate...
