Simple, straightforward, concise and well versed and presented...Great!!!

[@jenn6380]

Nice job looks great I've done this method to a couple of my daily drivers works incredibly well lasting years since. I prefer removing the headlight for better coverage but some cars are just such a pain in the ass to remove & not really worth the extra Time and aggravation

[@TedThetford]

First time I have seen it done.professionally. Thanks

[@robertmillan2858]

That was a very neat presentation, I will try your method because my headlights needs it badly. Thanks!

[@tabithacleary9472]

Thank you for making it so clear and explaining it so well..

[@logan5326]

I did the same thing on my Supra ‘97, but with 600, 1500 & 3000 grid. Thanks, your video inspired me to do it, and not waste extra money on something fixable like this! Cheers.

Great job . I've seen so many videos where the guy uses clear and it always makes them worst or even fogier then they where after all that sanding lol but you said it when the clear dries up they will clear to a bright shine and sure as hell they did ,,

[@castv778]

You could also use 3m rubbing compound

[@constantejimofor9213]

What is the name of the spray you used on it (the essential chemical ingredients)???

[@ArtKleiner]

My headlights are much better, but the clearcoat dried with an alligator skin / broken glass type pattern. Do you know why? Thank you.

[@Legendary_UA]

Works.

[@swedishchewbacca]

i did this but I used a polishing disc in my drill and used rubbing compound.....silverpolish also works. no sandpaper and no spray.

[@eddiealejos9835]

Great job

[@ChrisRedfield1]

My car is almost five years old & just starting to get scratchy & foggy in some spots of the headlight lenses. Stupid sandstorms in Phoenix.

[@planestrainsandautomobile6651]

[@roncalabrese305]

planestrainsandautomobile I know right.! awesome..!!

[@ricapone181]

nice easy and cheaper than those expensive kits that only last a few weeks if your lucky.. did this and my lights look brand spanking new and just to think i was gonna buy a new headlight set on ebay for almost $230 smh thank you ..

[@rareform6747]

Beats tooth paste 1

[@tomn5880]

I used turtle paste wax and have never had a problem with UV

[@mauserk98bnz44]

I'll try it on my 2001 Dodge Ram soon thanks

[@minlewis01]

Great presentation. I will give it a shot. I really need it!! Thanks a lot

[@heromagno3878]

Do you think it will work on my plastic headlight?

[@helpinguonline]

The headlights I did in this video are plastic. The old glass headlights did not fog up from UV rays and did not have this problem

[@rogeliogarcia1439]

Where can i find that Rest-Oleum spray?

[@helpinguonline]

[@williamsavageii9569]

Ok, so what kind of paint? Never mentioned that.

[@Hectorgonzalez-wk3tp]

i do something similar i just use a different clear and in 5 min its dry and ready

[@karenphillips3779]

Put toothpaste on let dry then clean with toothbrush and water 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Dave p

[@AngelGarcia-nh4gw]

Sorry to bother i did everything but when i applied the clear code looks like cracks please tell me what i did wrong

[@helpinguonline]

not sure what you did wrong... but if any contaminants are left on the lens that can happen and you don't want you coats to be too thick

[@AngelGarcia-nh4gw]

@@helpinguonline thank you bro i just did the ones for my wife's suburban and they came out nice thank you for your help

[@harryhagerty1177]

Great---- Now I can buy that 1998 500 SL with the ugly head lights

👍

[@Mordorer]

This is great. But don’t forget labor hours/time still costs money. Do the math. Just get the new headlights.

[@keithroberts5611]

Personally since this stream was made people are beginning to realise the down side of using 2k clearcoat on headlights? it's primarily function is for Car bodies only!! Unless it's written on the can otherwise stay Clear!!Other points to remember once this can as been activated by way of pressing the Red button on the bottom of the can you can't use it again because the shelf life of this product is way to short owing to the fact that over a short time the hardener will set the remaining liquid!! The drying and cureing time is exceptionally long!! And lastly when restoration comes around again which it will (Nothing is permanent) 2k is a Nightmare to remove!!! As you've just witnessed mutable layers was applied making light transmission worst!! It's far better to buy a certified headlight Clearcoat that is manufactured for polycarbonate headlights only, I could recommend probably the best Clearcoat on the market today, But won't, Do your research you'll find it yourself anyway!! 🤔😎👍

[@onpoint6674]

0:59 That was definitely not a clean bucket of water, maybe just clean water, but not the bucket, if you know what I'm saying

[@spunkyssportscardsspunky6478]

Nothing really works

[@mohanlalrampersad490]

That's not a clean bucket of water. (It's more like a bucket of clean water. )

[@freddiecordova4343]

To much talking

[@challenger-rta3761]

Done this with plastic long before most of you have been alive! I don't believe in snake oil.Because it doesn't work! I have seen others fail. Protect painted areas.use common scenes tape or remove. start with wet sand 400 600 grit depending on cloudiness. Don't be very aggressive until you see how it cuts. work in one direction only,work your way up to 800. then use a power buffer to polish. use a product like Meguiar's DIAMOUND CUT COMPOUND 2.0 85. When you are using a power buffer.the heat that is generated seals the plastic. One could make a business of doing this. takes about an hour per light,depending on how bad. Last for years! Done this with plastic long before most of you have been alive!

[@DejNtab]

That's TOTALLY ridiculous and ABSURD as well as PATHETIC! Why have to buy so much and can't guarantee that they'll work. I don't have the time and money to pay for all that supplies. I'd like to buy and keep it very simple!

[@anduuhar]

If you aren't using a 2K clear with a hardener you are better off just going to a 1500/3000 grit, polishing and then waxing. A regular clear will not stand up to road conditions.

[@huskyng6981]

thank you
