Restore Neglected Headlights to BETTER THAN NEW Condition

[@michaelroberts2053]

I'm a 72 years old man who wants to start headlights restoration and have been following detailing on KZbin but I've learnt so much from your video that gives me confidence to go the sanding route. Thank you so much for the step by step demo...you're the best

[@milanmastracci]

You can do it! Good luck Michael

[@gerardpeters4878]

Finally someone that made a proper video....no one hand shaking camera and well spoken. I'll be trying this method out on my car lights. Thank you and keep up the great work.

Gotta say I followed your system step by step and the headlight covers of my Audi A4 V6 3.0L Cabriolet look brand new. Everyone, who has seen the restored headlights, is blown away on how good they came out. Thank you and good job!!!

[@royalway12]

This is the best headlight restoration video I've ever seen. You should pursue a career as a pitchman young man. You presented it in very clear, concise, and professional manner. Good day to ya.

[@The1Music2MyEars]

I've seen a lot of headlight cleaning videos, and that is an under-statement. You are the only KZbinr who zooms really into the headlight to show the microscratches from the sandpaper. You wouldn't believe how many people simply don't show this state up close.

[@TheRealVivia]

Wow this is the first video that DIDN’T CUT TO ULTRA CLEAR HEADLIGHTS instead of SHOWING THAT YOU BUFFED THEM TO BE THAT CLEAR. Now I actually feel confident to do this. THANK YOUUUU

[@vdglife]

I have seen this same process done so many times and each time I am amazed on how big of a change it gives to the look of the vehicle. I love series like this were you can see a neglected vehicle get restored, and the step by step process they take to get there. Reminds me of the Golf all over again.

[@eponymous7910]

So many jettas and mk5 golfs on the road with horrible, scummy headlights

[@web5271]

I've watched at least 20 videos on this subject. I've talked to detailers who say use WD-40 or toothpaste. I've screwed around with this issue for years. This guy's video beats all. I salute you, sir.

[@Hoghaw]

Regardless of the Naysayers who’ve posted negative comments, out of the many KZbin videos on this particular subject, this guy’s video is head and shoulders above the rest. As someone has already mentioned, he takes the time to carefully explain what he’s about to do, as well as why he’s doing each step, AND clearly describes and identifies each product he’s using. The headlight lenses on my 2007 GMC Sierra VortecMax are embarrassingly yellowed! I mainly use it as my hunting truck, and hadn’t really noticed how dim the headlights actually were, until a friend asked me if I knew one of my headlights wasn’t working. I changed the bulb, thinking that my headlights were going to be bright again. I know, that wasn’t very bright on my part. (Pun intended!) I plan to purchase all the materials he suggested, and try to restore the lenses on my pickup. The batteries on my DeWalt drill died years ago, but I imagine my Bosch drill will do an adequate job. (Just a joke here folks. I doubt DeWalt has given him a Lifetime Supply of DeWalt products for using their drill in his video. If I’m wrong, I’ll be happy to announce to one and all that my Bosch cordless drill does an even more amazing job than the DeWalt if they’ll send me a lifetime supply of Bosch products!☺️) If anyone reading my comments has used this guy’s headlight lens restoration methods, I’d appreciate your comments as to how well they worked for you.

[@Kynetguy]

Very well made video. Its refreshing to see someone make a video that doesn't look like they are filming it with a potato while having a seizure. I also appreciate the fact that you are well spoken and professional in your style as well. Nice work.

I've seen a bunch of these videos and they all use different methods. This by far the best method which yielded the best result. Thanks.

Scotty kilmore does a pretty good video but it's better than average because you can actually get personal thru the Maven app and get straight answers to your questions from Scotty Kilmore , and it's nice to get personal directs from the source ! This is a good video 👌 but I simply picked up a renewal headlight kit from mcquire apply and Bam it's done no work involved and just as inexpensive as the ones that don't work

This is the BEST solution for oxidized plastic headlights I've seen. I installed Xpel headlight protection film on my 2003 E46 headlights and front turn signals when it was new in Dec 2002. Almost 16 years later they still look crystal clear. Putting PPF over headlights that you just restored is the best way to keep them looking new.

[@NoonehKradjian]

Totally worth it! My results were just as impressive as the demo.

[@zaink7037]

That's good to hear 👍. I'm just soon to do mine and worried as I've never wet sanded before. I'm going to spray clear coat and sand that with 3000 grit to remove the orange peel and polish

[@Hoghaw]

Nooneh Kradjian Thank You Young Lady!!! That’s what I was looking for, someone who tried this method and were successful!

[@swe3131]

Thanks for the video dude. I did this exact process without a drill and at least 5 of my friend have already asked me how to do it. Worked amazing they look brand new.

[@usernick8928]

I hesitated to click, thought for sure it was going to be bug repellent or WD40 or some crap... But, you actually show the only proper way to do it! Great video man!

Spectacular - ABSOLUTELY The Best Headlight Restoration Presentation that I Have Ever Seen. I have an Audi A8L and I’m going to follow your process “to the letter” including the final Paint Protection Film application.

[@nate678]

Wow man this is one of the best edited videos I've seen in awhile. I appreciate how you sped up video but still showed the technique. Also I never thought of using two different formulas one to apply and move around in the other to clean it and squeegee it out. Other KZbinrs can learn from your editing style. Subscribed!

[@rustphinelalas1060]

the best thing about this video is that he is saying the reality on you can do and cannot do in restoration, he even said that som of the dirt inside can not be removed unless you disassemblr headlight thanks man

[@harriglnola7655]

Your video is OUTSTANDING!!! You did a masterful job of explaining EVERYTHING! Also, your diction and intelligibility was perfectly clear. VERY well done! I have just subscribed.

[@robinkonway5243]

I worked for a semi repair shop and this is how we did it except with the sanding we would move up to a finer grit after we were done with the previous grit about 3 times until we finally hit 3000 grit...lil more time but if u can only afford a cheap polishing agent or compound its a good idea to do so :) nice work bro

[@kathyrose9515]

[@milanmastracci]

That's awesome :) I'm happy to hear it worked out for you!!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Totally agree with using paint protection film over using clear coat to protect the headlight housing.

[@samsonn25]

Why not clear coat it, then put the film on

[@AnthonyJ350]

Sam Sonn I suppose you could, but you would have to wet sand and polish to make it perfect because you could be technically diffusing the beam even more having to pass through to two materials.

[@samsonn25]

AnthonyJ350. Of course

[@funkblack]

Yeah but's hard to apply on cars with a lot of curves on the headlights.

[@XxChuyoxX]

Sam Sonn There's just a lot more issues with clear coating. Over spray, adehesion issues, the temperature and humidity has to be right or the clear might not look right, and you don't know how long it will last. This is much easier and in most cases, longer lasting.

[@RoyCampanella44]

[@joaomourato3395]

Do not aplly clear coat after the Polishing compound. The clear coat will react with the compound. The reverse process is possible in order to smooth the orange peel. Keep the good work.

[@timvu3095]

Very nicely done to and to the point tutorial on headlight restoration. I had used the Turtlewax headlight restoration and it works fine on my headlight but mine only has some yellow oxidation on the top and in much better condition than these headlights where you can barely see the bulbs inside the housing. The only thing that I would say is that the PPF is good but it would turn yellow much faster than the lens as you notice the PPF on his Accord, it already has the yellow tint after a year or so. You would have to plan on changing them out every 18 months to keep the headlight clear white. I'd just use sealant and be done with it.
