What drill bit do I use for my HEADLIGHT RESTORATIONS ⁉️😳

[@dandydonslife9869]

Headlight pro, what and wow, great info on this tool, good to know, thanks Don.

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Hell yeah..👍🏽

[@arthurrodriguez180]

The Professor is The Pro!! Intuitive, straightforward, knowledgeable, and appreciate it, you, Sir. I still do my day job, which is starting to suck & take a toll on me. I'm vested in supplies, equipment, bizniz cards r getting created. I do ask for headlight donations or will trade for services.

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Awesome man... Keep going strong and it will pay off ..

[@chrissanchez6610]

Just to let you know brother, my first two sets of headlights using your method came out amazing!! I knew, with my experience and your method, it would be the perfect storm haha thanks for everything bro, I can't thank you enough!

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Yes.....I'm really glad to hear this... This is THE FUTURE OF HEADLIGHT RESTORATION ... Sells like hot cakes....💯

[@ZmanZ06]

Great info and thanks for sharing. I’m guilty of asking you that question so I really appreciate you sharing this. I’ve completed a few headlights now and your method works great. Quality not only takes time but it’s expensive. Those 3M p 3000 pads aren’t cheap but they do work well. Thank you sir for all you do and for your involvement in your channels comment section. Looking forward to more awesome content.

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Hey awesome man appreciate it.. plenty more content coming soon this week...👍🏽💯😁

Thanks for the hidden gems 💎 I also just kept the one from a Max Shine kit and was gonna use the oreo method but eventually i was gonna need a new one and you solved my future problem all in this video thank you 🤙🏽

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Hay.....I'm glad it's working out for you ..👍🏽😁

[@ivorwm2291]

Thank you! My headlights were terrible and they are HID. I just got the car and its great now. Best wishes!

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Awesome.....thank you for watching and I'm glad it worked out..😊

[@BIGGYBROS]

What about the pad? Do you have a link for the 3 inch drill attachment for the plastic pad holder you have on this vid? Do you know of 1 for a drill with "Hex"

[@BIGGYBROS]

DO u have a link to buy the stuff without having to customize it. I see you have the foam and the Velcro but I mean like the black plastic thing and the metal piece? I'm struggling to find it on Amazon because I don't know what it's called

[@TRUSTnnTRUTH]

Hey - I appreciate your craft and ability to market it in an educational way. Your hook and loop link displays 2.75 inch but all the sanding disc and interface pads are 3 inches - was that a mistake? Also the 18v high performance battery is heavy I can just imagine the weight once I pair it with the drill. The Compact RYOBI ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless is slightly lighter 2.3 vs 2.46 is this something to consider, will I be forgoing anything else by also using this type of drill?

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

This guy is amazing 😅

[@jeffhannon65]

Do you prefer the compact, brushless Ryobi drill or the full size? Also, what size battery do you prefer? Thanks for all of the great content!

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Ok so prefer the compact... With that being said it has one drawback that it is short for reaching in on the lights that are recessed in and or bumper that stick out... Far as the battery I like the smaller ones 1.5 ah because they are light and shallow....the bigger ones too because they have a higher power output that makes more power in usage just really heavy..

[@Michael-hg6ky]

Thanks for the in-house tool vid........I have been wondering and wanted to ask you.....does your method apply to restoring tail lights as well? I would think one may start with a higher grit since there would most likely be more hazing than clear coat damage......just interested to know. thanks.

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Yes I do tail lights as well it's just much more rare only a couple of years.... Basically treat them the same way as headlights....

You ever use the automagic its actually like a type of resin with uv protection. Would be nice to get a review and they have a 3 yr warranty. Also cures with direct sunlight or uv light.

[@Rashed_7]

I make my own interface bads with flat polishing sponges and they are like 3 times thicker than yours , is that good for the headlight restoration?

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

No too thick is not a good thing... Especially because you can't control the thickness....

[@ShasCarDetailing]

I saw the drill bit attachment plate which has a sticky Velcro on Temu pretty cheap which I pair with the Interface pad Amazon link. Not come through yet but looks ok.

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Yes just got into teemu they got some crazy..

[@bishop2355]

Headlight Pro, will your headlight restoration procedure also work on taillights and front fender side markers? Thanks.

This method will work on any kind of vehicle light front back fog light side marker anything....👍🏽💯

Could you please do a video explaining the difference applications / uses of the various sponge and wool bonnet's / attachments ?

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

What do you mean? (About what product do I use?)

[@BS-fs6kx]

@@theheadlightrestorationpro The different sponge and wool bonnets - When to use them / what they are used for.

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

@BS-fs6kx I mean I could but really I don't use those different things for headlight restoration and in general I don't approve of the wolf of balls typically those are only four a high gloss finish that is already been treated by other things other than that they're useless.. I use sponge pads for everything they're more beneficial and there's different densities to achieve different outcomes.. now that's in other processes that I do as I do more than just have a restoration... For Heather restoration you need a medium-dense pad which is what the finesse pad is that I use on every video .. anything else than a medium firm pad which is usually Orange is useless in my opinion my professional opinion of headlight restoration.. I tell you all this now because I really can't make a video of them because I don't use them or approve of them.. I only use one sponge for a headlight restoration which is the best the 3M finesse it pad.. These pads create a high amount of friction which produce a lot of heat and scratch removal ability which is the best thing for headlight restoration. Basically all those other things don't have any place to have that restoration but possibly have a place in other services.

[@josegarcia6616]

What grit do you use to sand the adapter?

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

I believe that's p500 grit

[@gatos74]

Ηello from Greece and thank you for sharing your knowledge.I want to ask if sometimes you use smaller drill bit and pads like 2 inches at narrow edges.

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

I used to but now I'm interested time I just do those places I can't reach by hand have them just don't use them anymore...

Have you ever had to go more aggressive than than the P220 disc?

or you can purchase a quality semi flexible backing plate Especialy good for doing headlight where you have curves and corners. in this case for Rotary; since you are using a drill. Then purchase a good interface pad for sanding. Which Will cost you less than $20.

I do appreciate the effort you put in, but please, you would get many more views if you would get to the point. Please listen to your videos, you could make them 1/10 as long if you just got to the point. But again, we appreciate the information.

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Well honestly you don't really know anything about videography or making KZbin videos or you would have your own... This is an educational channel if you want something that doesn't teach you anything those are the channels that are going to be one minute long that's not this channel this channel educates you and teaches you on all kinds of things concerning how that restoration let alone how to actually do real headlight restoration.... If it's not to your liking there's many options for you... But thanks for choosing to watch this channel appreciate it... Education is this a lot of people have comprehension issues which is hard to watch this channel because they're not good with education.. when you educate yourself about something or you go to school for education is it 1/10 as long..lol Courses are months if not years topics are weeks if not months... This is education and this is how it's done... But thank you for your unneeded criticism on the way to 18,000 subscribers going up on an average 1000 a month I believe what the people are telling me that is and everything is good.... One person is not really relevant in what people want. Often jealousy are hatred fuel sideways comments because honestly I don't have a drop of that in my body or being because if I have some kind of dismay about a channel I figure it out without commenting negativity... I move along or I deal with it.. It's human nature with people who HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING or done what they're speaking on far as having ZERO subscribers would think they know how to make a video... But this isn't the case ever..

[@papa1351]

Okay, let's be real I'm here because most people who are restoring headlights for a living suck at their job. Yes I would rather pay a professional than buy a kit or buy the supplies and do it myself but unfortunately, all previous attempts to pay a professional have been a 100 percent waste of money. So all professionals are better than a kit is crap a slight few are better a kit is way more accurate, but the vast majority are not!

[@theheadlightrestorationpro]

Yes sad but true there are many professionals lacking at doing this because they do not understand the concept in the background of headlights they're uneducated and untrained hopefully this will be changing when people watching my videos... But at the same time you got to make sure to search for the correct restorer... Make sure you have certifiable proof of their experience pictures reviews things like that and you would be in a good position but on the flip side of the coin it all depends on your area and if you have one that's good ... I see what you're saying because basically everybody around me for pretty far is trash lol With skill and better yet watching my channel you probably could produce a better headlight restoration than most professionals..
