Restoring the WORST HEADLIGHT YET! The New Crowned Champ! | 2013 Chevy Silverado

Hello everyone! We have a new crowned champ for the worst headlights ever! In this video I am restoring lights on a 2013 Chevy Silverado. Although I couldn't restore them back to perfection, the customer was still very happy with the outcome. These headlights were in the late stages of oxidation. This occurs when the oxidaiton begins to solidify, and gets pretty difficult to remove. Luckily, I had a good technique to still make it a fast restoration.
I started with a 220 grit sandpaper, then moved on to 320, followed by 400, then finally the 600 grit. I only keep 220 with me in serious cases, because this course of sand paper WILL penetrate deep into the headlight, and will leave some very noticable scratches after the complete restoration. I didnt use it for long, but only used it enough to break thru the oxidaiton. To ensure I didnt leave any deep scratches, I sanded with the the 320, and 400 afterwards.

I love hearing the customers reactions

Same! A lot of customers have been watching lately.

Half way through. My name is Joe Whitlock. I agree with everything up to 3:51 except the clear coat. I have commented on other videos of the same. But clear coat does nothing other than cover up a bad job. This is something I stand on. I use the polish method. I reject the clear coat method. I did it once at jiffy lube, and it looked worse. I hate to say it, but if your using the clear coat method...your doing it wrong. I didn't even know I saved this channel.

Thanks for the input Joe 😁

What's in the spray bottle? Great video, I need to do this to my headlights.

[@StartRestoringHeadlights]

Just water, the clear coat is from nextgenheadlightsolutions.com

[@DanHilgeneberg-jb3pn]

Looks like after sanding it still appears cloudy before the clear coat. Is that pretty normal?

[@PhilRuybal]

Do you ever work up from 600 grit? I did my moms nissan murano headlights and did 600, 800, then 1200 and see micro scratches. It was my first try at it lol

[@StartRestoringHeadlights]

No, thats the beauty of our kits. The clear coat has filling properties, so theres no need to go beyond the 600. This saves a lot of time and money since you don't need power tools, different rubbing compounds or a lot of different grits of sandpaper.

[@grandmastert01]

Hi Brad , how do you know when to start off with such a low grit sandpaper ? Also would you ever try a higher one then work your way down till the clear coat comes off ?

[@ShoeHefner757]

Do the lowest fit that does the job. It makes no sense to increase the coarseness because you’re adding scratches versus remove bing them.

[@StartRestoringHeadlights]

Its based on the feel of the headlight. This is why its so important to do your inspection first. Yes and no. If you're still learning, its best to start with a 600 and see how it goes. If its difficult to remove, you can drop down if needed. Once you get more experience, you'll be able to determine what you're starting with based off the customer simply telling you what year, make and model the vehicle is.

[@StartRestoringHeadlights]

@@ShoeHefner757 Agreed.

@@StartRestoringHeadlights love to. But it looks as if I can't share my pictures Is there another way to share my craft on your channel? I guess I'm just not smart enough. But I would be willing to go head to head with anyone who uses the clear coat. Professionally speaking of course.
