Lol, amazing! At the car detailing shop we used citrus cleaners and this brings a whole new level to what that means and probabaly smells better than store bought cleaners!

[@nekrohatred9547]

[@HuckThis1971]

I use marine rubbing compound with a variable speed buffer. Then I change the pad and finish off with car wax. Works like a charm. Takes 10 minutes top to do!

@@MrJohnnyDistortion A good wax will last a long time. When you start to see it fade. Repeat process. Takes less time when headlight isn't too contaminated.

[@JoeNathan42420]

Wash well with soap and hot water, sand left to right then up and down with wet 1000 grit sandpaper use a spray bottle of water to keep it wet until you don't feel it cutting anymore. Wash it again warm water and soap and do the same thing with 2k sandpaper until it's not cutting. Wash it and go to 3k. Wash it and use your favorite buffing or polish compound and a microfiber rag to get a great finish.

What can we use instead of Sodium Bicarbonate? I don't know what that SB is and where I get it?

[@johannjohann6523]

Sidenote" you should never use a " rough scouring pad" to clean headlights regardless of grit size. Silver polish works really good as well. Also, putting on a "headlight protective spray coating" helps reduce the damage caused by UV rays and "fogging". So will adding a small hole to bottom headlight assembly to allow water evaporate (condensation).

Will fade away again soon, due to uv. The best way is to sand with 2000 grit sanding paper and water, till the surface has an even milky look, and to cover it with some transparent clearcoat from s spraying can. No polishing needed, if sprayed correctly.

[@abdulharuna8674]

Yes, this is correct. I've done it before and it is still looking ok, about one year now.

[@DunOpondo]

Great idea, which spray paint brand would yo recommend or what should I look for incase I don't fint the one you recommend? Thanks

[@dontknowler]

@@DunOpondo If you find smth which claims to be offering extra uv protection, or if you manage to get hold of a specialized clearcoat intended for plastic headlamps (such clearcoats exist) - that would be best. I had none of those at hand and used some cheap canned noname transparent clearcoat for car body painting repairs. In this scenario, bonding between the protective coat and the plastic is extra (and strongly) supported by plastic surface roughness, hence the clearcoat chemistry is virtually irrelevant. When spraying, apply the coating in very thin layers. Do not overspray: otherwise the applied too thick coat will generate bubbles / surface defects.

[@DunOpondo]

[@richardelson3261]

Thanks for the video. I just did mine on my CLK. I just used 1) wet sandpaper 1200 2) Halfords rubbing compound 3) T-Cut 4) Autoglym Fast Glass Took about an hour or so. Huge improvement and they are mostly now very clear and smooth. There is a touch of misting inside the headlamp covers here and there but not as much a I thought there was before I started.

[@JoeNathan42420]

Try 1k, sanding in hex pattern (while keeping it wet with spray bottle) across the lens until you don't feel it cutting anymore. Then do the same with 2k an then 3k. After all that use your rubbing compound.

[@boriszivkovic9933]

You can do the same thing without the lemon,just water and sandpaper and after finishing with two polishing paste,same effect

[@mepamper1682]

Someone used Colgate toothpaste from the dollar store, polished with it, and then put a clear seal on them. That was over 6 years ago and they are still pretty good.

[@vyperr3]

How please!

[@scorporsupremacy7948]

I did the toothpaste challenge and it worked pretty well. It did not last for 6 years but, I got more than a year out of it. It’s important to apply a good wax after polishing and remember to apply more wax whenever it seems to be wearing off. I prefer this method to the others .

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

Someone?

[@scorporsupremacy7948]

@@vyperr3 Just squeeze small amounts of toothpaste on the surface and rub in circular motions. Wipe and repeat until you get the desired appearance. Spray or wipe on wax and allow to dry. A drill brush attachment makes the job a whole lot easier.

[@MikeM275]

ANY type of buffing compound will work! This is how body shops do it. Buff with compound, or toothpaste if you don't want to go to the store (compound is better), then they spray clear over them. Haven't done it to mine so don't know how much light is reduced like that. I just buy new Chinese aftermarket junk assemblies, no one knows...

[@fredbreuer5504]

Out of sight! Organic headlights. So tasty and healthy :-)

[@tongkatali6904]

Mother’s Aluminum Polish with a polisher will clean them without having to sand, about 2-3 minutes max each side

[@mohammadrafie3467]

How?

[@mygt8a4re]

@Mohammad Rafie use a drill attachment with a 3" polishing foam pad. Add the wheel polish and run the drill at around 2k rpms across the headlight. The wheel polish is more aggressive than car paint polishes and removes oxidation faster. It will yellow in months if you don't protect the bare plastic afterwards though. You can use a good quality clear coat. Or just repolish a few times/yr.

[@Ngmone]

Wd 40 at the end, works great

[@bopeep7806]

Wow !! Long winded but whatever works for you, i use a forced dual action polishing machine with a cutting pad some heavy grade cutting compound buff until clear and add a ceramic coating to protect them from going back to frosted lol 😂

[@martineering.evoluzione]

Lemon is just an addition like many others, the rest is water and sandpaper which does the lion's work.

[@lesegoyv]

Wow, I'm trying this out. I used to think it's cleaned inside 🙈 but wondering how to open it

[@JoeNathan42420]

No, the issue is on the outside. The sun beating down on them all day every day causes the plastic to oxidize and turn yellow. That's why when you sand them down an buff them they look new because you cut away the oxidized plastic. Here, the acid in the lemon is doing the work. Only not as well

[@dustin3700]

Do this but without lemons lol, the sandpaper does the work and the water cleans the paper and removes the clearcoat and plastic. Wet sand polish and add protection or re-clear the headlight. I did mine and coated with a professional ceramic coating rated for 5 years and it lasted a little over a year and I have to do it again. If you use power tools it should take you about 10 minutes per light depending on condition, shape and access.

Oh, you're just a genius.

[@max410]

If you don't have a garage to park your car and is exposed to weather conditions ,buying new lenses won't last too long, best thing to do is simply buy some mothers mag chrome polish and clean them regularly every 3 months, think of it as a preventive maintenance job. People that have a garage or that have a roof to protect the car from extreme weather such as high heat temperature in the summer and extreme cold weather in the winter plus the rain will affect the lenses of the headlights.

Committee products a lot of effort you can go to anybody shop they can take their buffer in a little bit of compound they will buff all the oxidation off and then use a little bit of polish and polish it takes about the maximum five minutes per headlight but remember the plastic Has been damaged by UV and most likely it won’t last but another year and a half two years before it happens again a good way to preserve any headlight that’s plastic is have a clear plastic wrap put on it when it’s in good shape for those are the easiest way
