Meguiar's headlight restoration review. headlight restore

[@ernestovegarodriguez7276]

I used this restoration kit, but, mixed it with a 3M brand. I did sanded all the damaged clear coat with a 500 grit sandpaper, then 800 this two dry, a 2000 grit wet and finished with 3000 also wet. These came with the 3M kit. Used melguiars headlight polish which i bought some time, then used the clear coat spray. They came out great! Like almost perfect! No residue at all. But i only sprayed one time. A second or too much spraying don’t get same results.

[@clevisalleyne1598]

Thank you for the advice on product. I used it on my 13 year old car. It worked amazing.

[@shaazy]

I did this on an '05. The yellowing went away but it's still not as clear as I'd like. After the clear coat, it looks a bit hazy instead of crystal clear. This was my second attempt on the same headlight, I cleaned if 3 times for the most consistent haze with the cleaning solution. Then did 2 passes of clearcoat.

Hello I've tried the severe headlight restoration kit the headlights after 2 years are still remaining clear they are good kits I recommend them to every doy before pulling the trigger on new headlight assembly oh ya and you want to wait a day or two so the clear coat can fully dry and bond before washing the car or else it will smear and you will have to do it all over again hope this helps happy detailing

[@popaki9484]

Cool video! Do you recommend coating a brand new car headlight? if so, should the brand new cars light be polished first?

[@KINGDOMKONCEPT]

From what I hear the Meguiars clear coat lasts a year so if you spray it on every year it will keep your headlights clear.

[@ejp28054]

Good review . I like all of your reviews but really like the car related stuff .

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I appreciate the support. There should be more car related videos posting soon. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍

I use Meguires paint cleaner followed by a coat of wax. Works great, inexpensive too. Used to hand rub, bought attachment for drill from amazon and it makes it much easier

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Thanks for sharing!

[@sterling18]

Jeff, still digging your results? Would you buy it again?

[@NaturalGC]

Hey Jeff! Thanks for the review. How long did this clear spray last on your lights?

[@robertjackson7590]

What does the factory use to make them last 6, 8 and 10 years is what I want to know? That's the one I want.

[@calidazeable]

Thanks Jeff .. 👍🏼... I have used couple different headlight cleaners on 2 different vehicles ... after scrubbing “faithful” following instructions ... they looked clean .. I was excited ... then as it dried and short hour passed .. they were hazy 🌫 again (both times) .. soo 🤔 .. Yours looked cleaner .. 🤷🏼‍♀️ .. possibly I’ll consider 😊

[@ozaernajim4315]

How muxc pressure do you apply with that pad?

[@tonycotta6602]

Yes this product works really well but if you use 500 grit sand paper then 800 grit then 3000 it will make a real big difference.dry only with the 500&800 then wet with 3000 you will love it.Your clear coat will adhear better.

[@jasonrondon3998]

i use the Meguairs Restoration kit thats the yellow box as a detailer i Wet the headlights with water then wetsand

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

[@nicolejoleneable]

Do you use a drill? I take it if you wet sand.I don't have a way to attach the pad to my drill so should I use water when hand sanding?

[@Jeffreviews4u]

@@nicolejoleneable in my opinion you have more control spraying it with water and sanding by hand. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍

[@jasonrondon3998]

@@nicolejoleneable You can use a drill or a polisher

[@jasonrondon3998]

@@nicolejoleneable wet sanding by hand is much better

[@djtrax909]

The best thing to do is sand them down to get the old clear off. Thats what you see when you turned the lights on. Some need to be stripped and not just cleaned before the spray.

[@banginzaza]

I searched about this and the Sylvania one. I seen one video showing this one is more easier to use

[@BabyGangsterIsMe]

i used WD40 to clear up all foggy first, then i do step 1 like you did, then spray at the end... if u dont use wd40 first to clear it, it wont be super CLEAR ..if u do my method, it will be super shinny like new ..the reason u want to use wd40 first bc it takes off fogggy very fast then u apply 1st step then spray for 2nd step then WOHHHH LAAAA

[@Hawkeye62]

Wd 40 doesnt last

[@bobbyz23]

@@Hawkeye62 He's saying use WD40 first then do step one and the last step with the spray to make it more shiny.He's not saying just do WD40 by itself🤦🏾‍♂

[@chefbrooklyn5140]

What's up Jeff thanks will pick me some up. Also Jeff to make your videos better take down the Bills helmet in the back ground and put a New York Giants helmet up in the back going go Big Blue. Buffalo is good for wings only.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Those New Jersey Giants are good but there is only 1 New York team - go Bills!...and I love Buffalo wings. If you end up trying this let me know what you think.

[@donramon2501]

I try and only lasted 3 months

[@bjbhehir]

Pop the hood and you won't have to tape as much. Nice Video

[@Jeffreviews4u]

That's a great idea. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. 😃 👍

[@KimoKimochii]

you didn’t remove the haze completely you need to sand it a bit more, you scrubbed it only in one direction, you are supposed to at least do both horizontal and vertical

[@mannyaraujo1]

Correct

[@caitlintate1198]

Random question, are you still using the purple pillow and how is it holding up?

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I use the Purple Harmony every night. I even travel with it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@jasonjakubowski8507]

I tried some of the headlight restoring kits before, in about a month they went right back to the way they were.

[@lopan776]

I just use that myself and I was pretty impressed with the results now just to see how it holds up after a couple days if it doesn't do that then I'm just going to bite the bullet and buy two new head lights

[@T.S.T2014]

The worst part about this kit is that it’s $90 AU here in Australia 🇦🇺.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Wow! That is quite the markup. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍

[@nikkig3799]

Are you able to review a Gilmour Foam Cannon?

[@will2dmax1]

I've been using regular ole toothpaste,works good.but way too much work with it.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I've heard about toothpaste...I'll have to look into that.

[@keithroberts5611]

That's a cheap fix that doesn't work, Like lemon juice, WD40, Baking soda,The only way is the right way!! "The Headlight restoration pro" is the way to go a true professional👍

[@sigridmccarty8598]

I definitely need to clean mine 😩

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I was surpassed how yellow they get. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@MagicCyclops]

So far watching all of your reviews has taught me that you don’t read directions circular motions

[@Julian-il4oi]

@@MagicCyclops Wrong. It says back and forth

[@keithroberts5611]

Considering the headlight was in pretty good shape to start with not impressed, The application of clear coat spray(No mention of UV protection?) Your method looked haphazard with stop - start action? Spraying from a can should be done in one continues application from top to bottom and overlapping by 30%!! Always ware a respirator with pink filter, Indoors or out you don't won't That snuff in your lungs!!🤔🇬🇧👍

[@mrbubetube]

blah! I like the 3M Headlight Restoration System 39008 much better

[@Hawkeye62]

You applied it wrong

[@gailwatson4927]

I was not impressed with all the ones I bought.
