Meguiar's Heavy Duty Headlight Restoration Kit

[@angelaquigley396]

I’ve been looking for a good tutorial and honestly yours is the best hands down. You may not be a professional but you’ve explained this better than an professional by far. Thank you specially for saying how much pressure to use with the sand paper.

[@spiderwayne]

Thanks I really appreciate that and glad it helped.

[@District.24]

Finally, someone who actually showed a proper test, and from beginning to end. This was an excellent video. Thank you Wayne for all your effort in this video.

[@spiderwayne]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Does the coating leave streaks?

[@spiderwayne]

Not for me.

[@jackflash5659]

Are you kiddin' me? Spider that looks brand new! Great job dude!

[@spiderwayne]

Thanks!

[@Deanwrd]

Probably the best presentation for restoring headlights across the board. You can take out certain steps with other restoration products out there and apply those certain steps accordingly. E.G., the the water, the sanding, the buffing, clear coat, etc. Just fantastic. Thank you.

[@nasimwehbe8410]

These are by far the worst headlights I have seen and they came out looking amazing! Awesome work.

[@spiderwayne]

The worst for me too but I saw them last week and they are still looking great!

[@nasimwehbe8410]

SpiderWayne wow that's awesome. I will be getting this kit for my wifes truck.

[@spiderwayne]

Nasim Wehbe I did three cars at the same time and these were the worse but all three cars are still looking awesome! If you can use the link under the video “show more” area because it really helps me to make these videos. Thanks!

[@KindnessMatterz]

OMG!!! WAYNE! It’s Julie, I was looking up how to restore my headlights and was scrolling through the videos when I saw your face. 🤔 I thought, that looks like Wayne! 🤔. So I clicked and watched your video. Nice Job on the video and the headlights! 🏆. Hope I see you around sometime soon! 😁

[@spiderwayne]

Hey Julie! How cool is that!!! Contact me through either my KZbin page or go to my site SpiderWayne.com and contact me through there. Would love to catch up on things!

[@johns8689]

Very well done!! Thank you for teaching us how it is done, anyone can do it from this video help.

[@jerrodbridgef1417]

Good job great product did everything right

[@ATRAX31]

After seeing many other videos on headlight restoration, this one sold me. Great video and results. Good job!

[@spiderwayne]

Thanks!

[@jackleonard2088]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you. I feel a lot more comfortable trying this now.

[@anneann9127]

I've watched a lot of these diy video's and restored the headlights on two trucks with a different product. I bought some of the components from this kit as I already have a polisher. This is the very best video I've watched and the lady taping it did a great job, no shaking and the voice is very clear. Thanks so much for posting it.

[@spiderwayne]

Thanks... I filmed it all on tripods and external mics. The lady was just a reflection of the owner watching me :)

[@lucasivey3439]

I used the kit, My headlights are really clear now. But I have scratches in the headlights. Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix it? Should I just wet sand with the 3000 grit and then buff it again? Thanks to anybody who answers lol

[@esko23q]

Awesome Job Wayne! did a fantastic job... you should be sponsored by Meguiars lol

[@GioBaby]

I bought this restoration kit and it worked extremely well . My headlights look brand spanking new ! Thanks for the review .

[@spiderwayne]

Glad it works for you too! Thanks!

[@truejey7475]

This is one of the best videos out there. Great job bro. How long will that clear coat last untill you put another layer. Thanks

[@spiderwayne]

Thanks! I put a fresh coat on them about every 2-3 washes and so far it looks completely the same. Probably overkill that often but I do it anyway.

[@truejey7475]

SpiderWayne its so funny that i am watching your video again and i get a reply from you right now Lol. Thanks man.

[@spiderwayne]

You're very welcome. If you haven't, please subscribe!

[@liamwelsh5565]

Meguiars says it lasts up to a year. Keywords "up to" so it's really hard to say. I would say just give it a year and see what it does. If you notice a little oxidation, you could always clean them again and then know for next time to reappply the clear coat more often.

[@jameswilhite8964]

Thanks GREAT JOB OF SHOWING HOW ITS DONE.

[@mattpistritto1424]

Thank you so much. I followed step by step and results were amazing!

[@spiderwayne]

Happy to help!

[@CamInglis]

Thanks for the step-by-step instructions. Followed them and had excellent results. One thing I did stumbled onto - if I briefly turned my lights on it was easier to see where I needed more work on the sanding. I discovered this after I was done. 🙂

[@spiderwayne]

Glad to help!

[@Kelp8140]

I used this product today on my Z4 and it worked fantastically. Easy to do. The kit has everything needed. The wool buffing pad was made very well which made getting into corners easy and effective. Hats off to Maguiar's.

[@spiderwayne]

Glad it worked for you too.

[@t5jerry]

Great video, really enjoyed it over here in the dark damp UK 👍

[@debraparker833]

Excellent video, lot of helpful hints you won't find in the instructions that come with the kit to help you keep from screwing up you headlight lens. I followed Spider's instructions using the Mequiars HD kit and the lens on my 2014 Honda Accord look like new. Thanks Spider!

[@spiderwayne]

very good video iv'e had my cleaner on the shelf for 2 years i finally decided to clean my headlights ' it took 2 years to recover from hurricane Laura ! total disaster 2 years ago Vinton Louisiana '

[@spiderwayne]

Wow sorry to hear about that. I hope everything is better now and I hope my video helped too. Thanks!

[@dizzy_derps]

Thanks a ton! I've had my current car for almost a year and kept putting off doing this because I thought it was going to be a huge pain. I watched your video and finally got up off my ass and just did it. Spent maybe 5 minutes per lamp and the difference is HUGE. It could probably be a little better if I spent more time on it, which I'm sure I will in the future. Thanks getting me up off my ass!! LOL

[@spiderwayne]

LOL glad I could help!

[@jorgezapata3572]

Watching this in 2020 looking for a better way to clean my headlights, and this is it. I found it. Worst I've seen and best results I've seen. You did a great job 🕷️ Wayne ! Just a quick question, did you use both grids on both headlights ?

[@spiderwayne]

Yep I used both on both :) It's a great kit!

[@jlopez2351]

Good work i got same brand will follow your video awesome tips

[@spiderwayne]

Right On!

[@joseromo960]

Can I also use my hand instead of the drill to buff it out? Will it have the same results? I just purchased this item after seeing your video

[@reck0n3r]

I've got the same question. Did you end up doing it yet? My guess is that it can be done, you'll just have to spend a bit more time with your hand.

[@Epicgye]

You can, you just won’t have as nice of a finish if you don’t use a drill

[@joseromo960]

@@reck0n3r i ended up using the drill and I was very satisfied with the results! Great product!!

Great step-by-step video, Spider. Took out the guesswork. Much appreciated.

[@spiderwayne]

You got it! Glad to help!

[@franciscocendejas3555]

When you put the sealant do exactly what he does. Overlapping passes from the top down. ⚠️"ABSOLUTELY DO NOT"⚠️ go back to the top and do it again. It starts to harden very quickly and you will leave lines in your coat rather than having a clear even coat. I'm saying from experience. You can apply a second coat after it hardens.

[@spiderwayne]

I completely agree :)

[@PumaTomten]

It's better to use Meguiars Headlight coating spray instead, its better to apply, spray it on 1-2 times every year after a quick clean

[@playberr62]

Hey thanks for the vidio I did it and it worked great my wife was happy. Happy wife happy wife.

its been 7 months now. are the headlights still clear? just wanna know if that clear coat lasted this long.

[@spiderwayne]

Yep still clear. After every few washes I re-apply the head light coating.

[@sgtpep5]

Got em shining like a new tooth..

[@ProtruckR]

Ok i will share the sandbox I knowyou hate the glass mainly the Ft glass beeing smashed out by other things ..... I mainly wanted to share what this was Excelent product

[@BobakMASD1]

Thought I'd offer another perspective. This product also works extremely well on tail lights! I did my 2002 Chevy pick-up's three tail lights, and while not "showroom new", they are phenomenal in comparison to what they were after 16+ years of ignoring! Now granted, a trucks lights are certainly more conducive to polishing given that they are typically a smooth contour, but it's something to consider if your lights are foggy or hazy orange peeled. Remember that what is behind you is important too, so why not?

[@spiderwayne]

Excellent point!

[@Alvin-yp4dv]

Best presentation thank you so much!

[@joshuamoore24_7]

Meguiar's needs to add the Velcro drill chuck, 1500-4000 grit sand pads, and the buffer pad all with Velcro backs like the RainX kit.

Hello !!! I got the Mcguiars Kit many years ago to restore the headlights of my 2002 Hyundai Elantra y you know? After I applied the results were amazing, I can recommend the Kit because it is worth each penny. It was the first time I did something for my car and I felt proud of the results. Get it, DIY, and save money.

[@TerminatedEfficiency]

Great video now I know how to use the kit properly. thanks for the upload. Will be trying this tonight! Hopefully my results are as good as yours. Trying on a ‘90 Volvo 740 turbo and ‘05 Toyota Matrix.

[@MrCsebike]

If you have a way to buff Like a buffer or a right angel grinder with the attachment you can do hundreds of cars with a $8 bottle of buffing compound just buy the clear coat .

[@theurbancycleryshop2144]

Great tutorial! Better than the tutorial from Maguiars themselves

I gotta tell you guys, I’ve done headlight restorations with a couple different kits and some DYI with 000 steel wool. Went ahead and hit my son’s car with some “mother’s mag” polish earlier this week and a microfiber cloth- it took me longer to find the compound than it did to rub it out.

[@stephencannon3140]

I was with him right up to using the paper towel AFTER the correction and polishing. In theory the paper towel you used to remove dirt prior to correction should be the last time a paper towel would touch the lens. Results are impressive though. I have not used this kit but O can speak well of the Meguiar’s product line of car care products in general. Polishes, Claybar, towels, compounds, glazes, scratch/swirl remover. Also a headlight film can help to prolong the effectiveness of the repair.

[@joeward117]

Wow! What a tremendous video.

[@spiderwayne]

Thanks!

[@the.porter.productions]

Good info. I have one car that needs this process done and a 3 year old truck that I would like to prevent it from happening to. Do you have any ideas that could help me prevent it from happening to. I do clean my truck headlights frequently and I have NOT applied any wax or clear coat to them so far. Someone applied some product to my van and told me that it would keep the headlights in mint shape...well, it wasn’t even 3 months later that the headlights started getting foggy. I’m glad that I didn’t buy their product!

[@spiderwayne]

Like I said in the e video I'm no expert. With that being said I've seen other products on KZbin and Amazon that you might want to look into for preventing any damage to your headlights like ceramic coatings or clear adhesive film. Recently I saw a video for a WetherTech LampGuard product that looked like it might work.

[@the.porter.productions]

SpiderWayne 🧐 Thanks for the info. I will look into that and experiment some if needed. Keep up the good work! 🤩 Stay sage and healthy. ✌️

[@spiderwayne]

Talked to the owner of the car and she said they still look great and she hasn’t been touching it up at all. I suggested she should 😁

[@supern35]

Nice work.. Tip, if you can lift the hood out of the way rather than masking it, it would make your life a lot easier Instead of using clear coat, because apparently it refracts the light unevenly, you could use carnauba wax. Every time you wash your car, just reapply. Maintenance is easier than repair.

[@judgeadvocate9275]

I've been thinking, a wax would do just fine in protecting the headlights.

Do NOT use Windex on plastic headlights. The ammonia reacts with plastic over time and causes quick deterioration. Wash with light detergent in water only.

[@c.franklinkielich9443]

A couple of things to consider. Never use Windex or any other window cleaner on your plastic lenses. Windex contains ammonia which attacks the factory clear coating on the lenses. Over time, ammonia fogs the clear coating. Also, never use paper towels to clean your headlights. The fibers in the paper towel will scratch the plastic headlight lens. You wouldn't use paper towel to clean your glasses so don't use it to clean your clear plastic headlights. Paper towel works on glass, but it scratches plastic (and auto paint). Nice video!

[@spiderwayne]

Thanks!

[@cindygomez5414]

C. Franklin Kielich he should of used the microfiber cloth instead of paper towel and of course used soapy water to clean the debris before starting this process. overall came out good. I love Maguiers Products.
