I went back over to the first lens and re-applied the polish with the magic eraser. Same thing! Much smoother and removed more of the yellowing.

[@mhicaoidh1]

Any method you use to clean up the plastic around headlights should be followed by the application of a UV protectant. The lens clouds up and turns yellow because the stock UV protectant layer has worn out, and UV rays have caused the plastic to cloud. You can remove the outer layer and they look fine. But, without reapplying a UV protectant, they will quickly cloud up again.

[@jimw7916]

So it builds up again! so what? ...take the ONE MINUTE to polish it again! .........It takes you WAY WAY longer to wash your car dont it?

​@@jimw7916 Sure, you can take the (much more than a) minute to redo your headlights every 6 months or so ... or you could take the five minutes and $6 to do the job right and add a UV coating ... and not have to touch your headlights for another 5 ~ 8 years. It's up to you how you want to spend your time. Most reasonable people would want to do a job once in 5 years rather than 10 times in those same 5 years.

[@jameshisself9324]

@@guitarman_3693 Glad to help. The Mother's compound is a little different than you describe, it is strictly micro abrasives in a paste, no muriatic acid. Also about aluminum oxidation, it happens in seconds so that most of the time when you observe it there is already an oxide layer on it, this is sort of like corrosion preventing more corrosion. Aluminum is unique in that to the eye it looks clean and bright but there is an oxide layer, even on polished aluminum. It's a great unique metallurgy of aluminum. Muriatic acid is quick and easy but it requires very thorough rinsing to stop any micro reaction from continuing and weakening the metal. Basically needs pressure washing. Long term it can weaken the metal and cause failure and is generally not recommended for critical applications like in aerospace. In HVAC continued use could result in eventual need for system replacement but that could be a good thing for other reasons.

You need to apply a UV protectant spray to protect the exposed plastic. A light buff with the polish and another application of the protectant is all that’s needed annually. If you live in a extremely sunny environment, wash off and dry the headlight and reapply the protectant every other month.

Literally saw this video last night and tried it today on my 2008 MKX headlights and it works! I wiped the lenses with a wet magic eraser first like another comment said until I felt they were clean enough. Then I dried the lens with a towel and then applied the polish with a dry towel and the difference is dramatic. Its not perfect but it saved me $600+ replacing the entire headlights. Mine were oxidized and yellow to the point of barely being able to see through it. I would say they are 75-80% improved. Im very happy and excited to see how they perform at night. Thank you for this video!

[@vinovelo]

Living in CA the strong sun and heat destroys plastic headlights after several years. I tried this on my 2008 Lexus headlights and did two passes with it. BIG improvement! Not totally clear as mine were etched and yellowed badly but amazingly better. Went to wet sanding with 2000 grit sandpaper and another pass and they are good as new. To make it last a long time (years) apply a few coats of clear coat (automotive with UV protection).

[@artsnow8872]

The wheel polish is a fine-grit polish. If the damage is deeper, you need something rougher (such as paint rubbing compound, or fine-grit sandpaper); then the wheel, or paint polishing compound. There are lots of choices.

[@torikoffel6629]

@@superdude7459 I used 800, 1500 then 2500. Just make sure your headlight stays wet I used a spray bottle and constantly sprayed wherever I was sanding. Step 1- With the 800 grit I used a circular motion and with very little effort the paper will do exactly what it was made to do automatically. plus you don't want any scratches too deep to buff out later. (You will see the yellowing start to lift off and run down with the water). And once you feel like the entire light has been evenly sanded do a final spray down and wipe with a microfiber cloth. (Your light will look like you have really made a mistake by sanding it but no worries, you got this!) Step 2- Get your 1500 grit and use long strokes either side to side or up and down, I felt side to side was more comfortable. Remember always keep your paper and the light wet at all times. Same as before, once you have evenly sanded it spray it down really well and wipe with our microfiber cloth. Step 3- The 2500 grit will clarify the light to almost perfect clarity and you want to make sure you take your time and smooth out the first two steps and trust me you will see a huge difference and you shouldn't have any issue seeing exactly where you need to tidy it up. Lastly same as before give it a good spray down, wipe with your microfiber Cloth. Step 4- I used a small maybe guarter size amount of Mother's and rubbed it over the entire light, I allowed it a minute or two to "soak in" then with a dry microfiber cloth I wiped it off in a circular motion. I did this step twice, mine were in pretty bad shape. But wow, the difference will shock you. And the best part is the yellowing still has not returned and they have been exposed to snow, rain, direct sun you name it. I even did it for my ex mother in law and she too was very surprised with the results. I hope this helps you out, I apologize for the late response I have been moving and figured I would check my messages before I head off to work. So good luck and I hope your headlights are as bright as the day is long! Victoria

[@mosler302]

The kits that require sanding aren't all that difficult, & they use rubbing compound on top of that, so there's just about the same amount of rubbing the surface. I've tried your way & the sanding method, the WD40 method, & a couple others. The sanding method with rubbing compound has the best final appearance. But here's something more important. If you don't recoat the headlight, your effort will be in vain in 9 months or so. There's a special anti-UV clear plastic coating you spray on that's the key to a long-term repair. I did that to my car's headlights 2 years ago & they still look brand new.

It just baffles me that people can see anything at night time when driving with headlights so yellow. I did my neighbours with some car compound and sealed with car polish/wax and she couldn't believe the difference at night time when driving.

You can basically use any method to take the yellow off but make sure you add some kind of sealant or spray them with a UV clear lacquer.

Finally someone made a video of this...ive been using aluminum polish on headlights for years...its so easy and works every time. If you have a polisher, you can use it on a buffing pad too.

[@ibj3]

@Craig Yes you can top it off with a clear coat but i don't want to use it again. Somebody gave me a coat and it messed up my headlights. My guess was because it was a cheap clear and it made my headlights look dull. Some coats like Rust olium work. But i'm better off with a wax or sealent because it's so easy to use.

[@ibj3]

@Craig I use a pro hybrid ceramic sealent from Meguires. It works good. I live in a warm area 35° celcius i think that's 95 F and my car stays outside in the sun and i have no problem so far. So this will work even better if you have a garage.

[@ibj3]

@Craig some people say that heat from the headlights will break the wax down and it will no longer have any protection but you can try it yourself a good wax will still repel water from the headlights after 2 to 3 months and even better if you have a good sealent or a headlight protection spray.
