HI ALL, For those who like to go with my 4th option - You can use clear coat if you want, It is a cheap and a reasonable alternative option for the price. I was explaining the reason why car manufacturers don’t use clear coat, with a demonstration. That demonstration is only to explain how refraction works on clear coat due to its higher RI, like i showed with a water bucket and a pencil and two more examples. Because clear coats tend to have an orange peel effect, you can get a little distorted light output. Combined with the higher refractive index of clear coat, this can be intensified even more. That’s why @7.43 i mentioned to wet sand the lens to get rid of any orange peel so you can minimise any noticeable distortion of the light output. This video is about restoring headlights permanently. As this car is getting a heavy sun exposure which you can tell by the peeling factory clear coat on the bumper near the headlight, ( instagram.com/p/BqZ1EA2AfrY/ ) ( instagram.com/p/BrwneLOBSBb/ ) clear coat is clearly not a permanent solution for these headlights. Removing peeling clear coat is harder than removing a headlight coating when it comes to restore the lens again and clear coat is the only non optical grade product among the 5 options and it has the least clarity. And since clear coat doesn't get bonded onto a highly polished surface like a headlight lens as well as it does on a metal surface, in most cases, you have to roughen up the lens prior to apply cleat coat to stop the clear coat from peeling prematurely and this can further intensify the distortion of the light simply because a roughened up surface create a diffused refraction and this cannot be restored even if you wet sand the lens. That is why the clear coat is the worst option for me among those 5 options. So in this case, i prefer the protection film over the clear coat and all the other coatings because like i mentioned, it doesn't get bonded onto the lens like clear coat or any other coating so in a matter of few minutes i can easily remove and replace the film should the film goes bad in the future which it will and when that happens i won't have to restore the lens all over again, plus the film has the highest optical clarity right out of the box ( you know what i mean if you've ever seen a tinted car window ) and gives me superb chip protection as well. But if you want to use clear coat, you can use a good clear coat and it is completely up to you . That's why i showed you guys 5 common options. i picked mine so you have to pick yours depending on your budget, climate you live in, how long you gonna keep the car for, and what you gonna use the car for (Eg: headlights covers are ideal if you do a lot of road trips as you get good protection from rock chips) . And for those who're wondering why a genuine headlight is so expensive, check this out kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaCll6SsiL-BbcU

@RedondoBeach25 жыл бұрын
The reason you had refraction on the part of the headlight sprayed with clear coat is that you did not wet sand and polish the clear coat after it cured. The way to clear coat your headlights effectively is to spray several coats of clear coat. Wait at least a few hours between each layer of clear coat. Due to the need to wait for a good cure of each layer of clear coat, this turns into a project that can last 2 days. BTW, remember to protect your car's paint during this process if you spray the headlights while they're installed on the vehicle. Otherwise you will get overspray on your car's paint. After several coats of clear coat are applied and cured, you will notice the lens is heavily orange peeled, however you should not have any streaks if you sprayed the lens lightly each time. This is the desired result at this stage. Attempting to rush the job by applying thick coats, will cause streaking--you do not want this to happen. After the final layer of clear coat is applied and has cured, the orange peel should be lightly wet sanded and polished to a clear finish with a very fine sandpaper. Remember to use clear coat with UV protectant. Hardware stores sell this in an aerosol can. I find this method to preserve the headlights for roughly 18-24 months, longer if you apply a UV protectant wax to the headlights each time your car is washed.

The CEO's of the auto companies are dimwits but they are good crooks. Hate to think they've made all customers lives hell without feeling they should get some scratch for doing so.

The plastic coating is a sprayed on CLEAR COAT (usually lacquer) ... and because of driving behind vehicles in rain / snow and road conditions of mud and oil constantly being deposited ON roads then thrown up at your car when driving in rain ... eventually that coating will wear down again. If you keep your car garaged and out of the elements the clear lenses have a tendency to last virtually "forever". But no matter, if you vehicle is a "daily driver" it will be subject to the elements and other cars you follow and what they throw up into your path.@@babycakes8434

This was an excellent video. Clear, concise and also includes details as to “why” he is doing what he does. Well done and extremely helpful.

I had a headlight restoration business years ago, so have some expertise in this area. Must say this is best video on the topic I have seen yet on KZbin (and I basically have watched almost every single one, as in dozens). Great work. Great, clear presentation. Excellent analysis and presentation of pros and cons. Kudos to you.

@@HR-pv8ku you really don't have to have any power tools. Some sheets of sandpaper wrapped on a hard sponge and cloths for the polish along with elbow grease will get the job done just as well (and you'll get a workout too, lol).

@Serial Killer you can do that, but you will have yellowing again in 3 to 6 months time and be out polishing the lights again. You have to seal the plastic once you have removed that factory coat for any sort of longevity.

So glad I found this today! Had one brand new headlight and one original on a 2008 Acadia. Trying to make them look a little more similar so I can sell the car. I just did method 1 and so wish I could attach before and after pictures to this because it is BEAUTIFUL!!! No way I could get a perfect match with the age difference of the lights, but it is a massive improvement and I'm thrilled. Thank you, thank you!!!

After giving up hope of ever restoring my headlights to their original condition, despite watching many videos on how it’s done, I finally stumbled on this video and the results were amazing. My headlights look brand new again. Thanks.

Damn Dude, you really, I mean REALLY - blew me away. Kudos to you for making an informative, complete but not too long, info-vid that not only explains different methods but explains the science and your reasoning for using them or not, all in a professionally orated and produced video. THANK YOU. ~New Subscriber

Lazy people who was looking for a video showing them how to rub tooth paste on their headlights with an old tooth brush before running through a carwash. smh. They should just take it to a shop and get new headlights and run their CC for about $1K and save the trouble of doing the work.
