Maaaan I subscribed to you last week and I’ve been binge watching your videos. Nice work man. Nice work.
Hey I really appreciate it.. plenty up and plenty more to come...
Believe it or not is easier than you think.. if you do what I do with what I do you're going to hit some kind of proximity of it.. I guarantee it...
@@theheadlightrestorationpro nice. I’ll most definitely take your advice.
Appreciate you uploading and being so informative. Very satisfying seeing your finished work.
Thank you very much for watching...💯
I think you're viewers would benefit from you doing a video explaining the different vehicles the are easiest to hardest to do. I know I'd love to watch it and learn! Awesome job! 👌
There's a couple more that touch base is on it..
But this is the first one that comes to mind.ruclips.net/video/oxRxE5Lb44w/видео.htmlsi=oYuNsAIB3NmSGZrG
I did a Benz Friday with the same headlights and you're right they have the hardest coating on them. And those grooves on the side were a challenge. But, they came out beautiful. Thanks for all your tips.
Awesome..👍🏽
Headlight restoration pro, great work, looks perfect, just ordered my cart yesterday, thanks for sharing.
Awesome.. yeah the cart is a must I used to use folding chairs and stools and my legs knees and back were just destroyed...
Thanks for teaching us how to handle the channels in the headlight using the interface pad. Also for the tip on the backside of the headlight. Have you ever tried the Trizac 5000 pads to see if they would avoid the need for the polishing step? Thanks again.
No I haven't tried the 5000s basically because nothing is going to overtake the polishing step.. the polishing step is about insane amounts of RPMs speed and friction basically the heat.🔥🔥🔥
It's more of a physics thing rather than a supply thing.. motion instead of the actual pad....
love everything u do brother, keep the positivity up and stay happy friend. happiness over everything. great work as always🫡
Awesome brotha .. appreciate it for real....thank you for watching...💯💪🏽
"you don't know who you're f-king with!" 💪🏼
Ha..😁🤩
Awesome job! Thanks for doing videos like this!
Thank you very much for watching... I literally make them for people like you that enjoy and learn from them .
So really appreciate you viewing have a couple new ones dropping this week and one tonight..
I ordered all the stuff off your list and I can’t wait to give it a shot on my headlights. Waiting on one more pack of pads to come in so I can try this. Love the videos.
Awesome man thank you I appreciate you viewing and your support... I'm excited for you don't forget it's best to watch one of these before you do it even better while you do it that's what I would do step by step.. I always say I wish I had a channel like this when I started.. little over a year ago there's nothing but scam crap over the internet.
@@shelbyGT40 another loser
I bet that dude 💩 his pants when he got to witness the finished product!! Incredible job man! I'm doing your exact process on my two cars over the weekend. The only thing I don't have is your polisher, but I have some pretty powerful drills that I'm hoping will get me there (I know it's not the same, the milisecond I'm disappointed I'll order it too and since it's my own cars I got all the time in the world to perfect then if they fall short). I'm extremely thankful for finding your channel, you saved me from a 2k clearcoat nightmare scenario 😅
Awesome just word of advice I know you said you had high power drills you have to really be careful with that you have to make sure your drill is not exceeding 1800 RPM the further away from that it gets the more dangerous it is far as making blemishes that are hard to get out or scratches or Burns.. also the torque needs to be under 700 lb which is even more important.. the torque will really destroy headlights if it's too high you can still use them but it gets tricky..
You won't get that flashpoint from a drilled for that utmost clarity but you can produce a good product I haven't always used the polisher but I've always developed good product..👍🏽💪🏽
Thank you for viewing..
PS yes the guy flipped out and two of his neighbors came out to get cards...😳
@@theheadlightrestorationpro thank you for the tips! I also have a compact ryobi drill that I will use first for the sanding (practically identical specs to the one you use), I will then try to polish with it first and the chemical guys headlight restorer.. If I need a little more rpm, I will very carefully attempt to use one of my better drills for the additional polishing only. It is highly adjustable, and I'm very proficient with it, I'll very slowly bump it up, it's possible I'll be happy with the clarity fairly early and wipe it down to spray with the maguires headlight sealer. The first set I'll be doing will be on my work truck, a 2005 Durango, but honestly neither of my two vehicles are show pieces. Other one is a 2008 Honda CRV, they both need it, badly. I've been binge watching your videos in preparation and pretty much have the process memorized.
@AlexKunstar awesome 👍🏽
Question: I did a kit from Cerakote. I had to go buy extra sandpaper and a hand block to wet sand almost properly. The cerakote looked great at first but now I can see a little foggyness in spots, and it has spiderweb cracks and some heat bubbles inside. You don't like 'Permanent' kits. Can I wait maybe six months and redo with a better polish/clearcoat? Or do you think I should just bite the bullet and strip it down now? I am loving your content and your editing. Great job!
I'd break it down and try something else if not this method..
That kid doesn't okay job but it is kind of foolish.. it chemically bleaches the headlights to turn a color which makes you think you removed enough there's a high probability that you didn't and that the damaged molecules and cells get further damaged very quickly.. usually in the form of fogginess or yellowness coming back fast.. plus the clear coat isn't there.. did a review on it on this page it's good for a kit...kinda...
Oh and there's no such thing as a permanent kit, and or permanent headlight restoration...
And thank you very much for watching there's plenty of videos up and plenty more to come.😁💪🏽🌍
Great video i love the finished product, please tell me where do you get the good quality sand paper
The links are in the Bio for direct purchase and or viewing through Amazon..
Same exact place I get 90% of my tools and supplies...👍🏽
Sheesh lookin good
Thank you man appreciate it...
Thank you for viewing...🫡
Great videos and knowledge, but i want to ask you. What if my headlights are not as bad as you show in your videos? They are just not crystal clear and have just a little cracking in the coat like spider webs , so in this case do you do the same steps as shown? 500, 800, 3000 and polish.
Same exact process there's another way around it... This means that they are starting to go bad.. anything else would just a temporary fix.
My experience is temporary fixes don't work just make things worse..
And you also have to determine if that cracking is permanent or just a clear coat...
Th
You never disappoint man , honestly do you think you can get headlights from the junk yard and flip them ? 🤨
Yes you definitely could you have to make sure they're in pristine shape as far as the boltons and all that stuff... And the first and foremost the ones that are necessity you have to figure out which vehicles will be more needed for something like this... 2006 Civic would be more ideal rather than a 1992 Volvo...
@@theheadlightrestorationpro thanks for the reply honestly that wouldn’t be a bad side hustle to do man , because headlights are expensive so if you get them cheap from the junk yard you can make a quick flip and then sell them for less.
@@theheadlightrestorationpro also maybe would you do that in your Channel is that something that grabs your attention maybe showing us you flipping some headlights ? That would be a great idea video.
@2twinskicks158 exactly... If I had more time I would do it more often...
You should definitely make a comprehensive list or sheet...basically from easy to shitty...and how you got through each (pads, process, etc.)
Good ideas 💡
You don't link the Meguiars you're spraying on it.
Everything is linked in the bio.. just got to look for it
just wondering, how long for one headlight to get that kind of result.
If not filming typically about 15 minutes on average. .
where do you advertise
Good work advertises itself....
Is it possible to make an entire living just doing Headlights and not marketing yourself doing details or other services . Also I would like your opinion on how to market and increase business
so I've done close to 100 cars now pro and have been running into this problem lately. so i keep my maguiars can in the car at all times. its hot in California as you know, but today i went to spray my maguiars coats and they came out hazy as if i was spraying from like far away. i was spraying like normal. but the texture was ugly and hazy. do you think keeping the maguiars in the car for weeks did this? i threw out the can
It's possible this happens to me every once in awhile... And what I do is just throw the can away.. it could be that or could just be sometimes or something happened to the cans once upon a time before I got to you...
But I do think if it's stored at too hot of a temperature this will happen...
Do you run the drill and polisher on low or high? Restoring my truck lights tomorrow
I run everything on high but I feather and control the trigger therefore controlling the speed but most of the times I'm gunning it you got to take it slow though I'm very used to doing this..
@@theheadlightrestorationpro so it won’t hurt to run it slower
@jeremyhill2920 no you can definitely get away with running it slower but I just take a little bit longer... Any kind of turns corners are weird spots slow down big broad spots I would test out some speed.
Sometimes my headlights look perfect and sometimes they get a slight haze to them after I spray the clear. Is this because I’m spraying the clear too thin?
Could be because you're spraying too thin.. the more than likely you're not shaking the can enough.. you got to remember there's no rattle inside these cans have to really shake them to mix them up... It's not like a spray paint can... Also what else it could also be if you're not spraying at it proper distance.. you should always be spraying between five and seven inches away from the light... Also you need to make sure that the tip is pushed in before you start..
Great job. What was the last spray you put on if you don't mind me asking?
It should be listed in the bio also on the video...
The reason I asked is because it wasn't indicated in the video. I was waiting for it to be shown
@theheadlightrestorationpro I'm assuming based off the color of the can it was the maguire UV protectant?
@fishoutwithjuno6901 it definitely is said in the video and showed on screen...
Also shown in the bio...(listed in the bio for direct purchase or viewing)
Also in about 98% of my videos...
👍🏽
How long should you wait after the clear coat before your car is safe in the rain?
it would be fine 20 minutes after..
Precautionary if it was raining and you did have the vehicle inside you could wait an hour...
But literally once it is hardened the shell it be fine in the water like minutes later....
@@theheadlightrestorationpro Thank you so much! Does your method also work with 2k clear coat for automotive?
@kennethyu8836 yes it would but I don't recommend to ever using 2K clear on any method.... But it would work.. got to remember 2K clears not meant to be on headlights no matter what...
What's causing a slight haze after polishing the headlight? It's clear but not as clear as brand new. Like there's a layer of whitish haze after polishing in the entire headlamp.
Not sure I could be a lot of things.. not sure if you using exactly what I use and if you're polishing with a high-speed polisher... If you're not doing or using what I'm doing or using it's probably that.. if you are you might not be using enough speed in your polishing... Might not be using the right polish.. could even be if you're not dry sanding.... So many veins make a difference and this is a very scientifically formulated method.. it can even be down to the fact you have reaching inside of the headlight or a headlight fog which is very less common than what you would think so I wouldn't go with those as my first thought might be some kind of issue with what you're doing.. you have to be honest with yourself if you're doing exactly what I'm doing and using what exactly what I'm using within respect.
First!!
Ha ha...💪🏽🫡
Ok I done my headlights and they came out PERFECT 2006 Tundra. Done my sons 2014 Tacoma and they still look hazy/foggy………what am I missing?
Not all headlights are created equal.. some have different wear different permanent damages.. with that being said you could very well have did different things to both headlights namely you might not have gone deeper or deep enough or one might have had more wear than the other and you thought to go the same depths which wouldn't work the one that had heavier wear.
Ok I a going to redo them because definitely not happy with results. It appears there were some "water spots" that appear to be on the inside of the lens but I may needed to hit it longer with the p500. Thanks as always for the info!!!!@@theheadlightrestorationpro
Have you ever done headlights that did not come out crystal clear ? 3 days ago I did a 2003 Lexus es300 and they looked much better but still didn’t have that amazing crystal clear shine. Then today the customer called and asked why the headlights didn’t look as good as his Mercedes that I also did that day. So I went back and worked on them forever and they came out slightly better I guess. Have you ever had this type of problem?
Yes of course you can only work on what is given to you.. some of them just have permanent damage or other weird things going on.
@@theheadlightrestorationpro … do you ever give your customers a disclaimer of any kind. I’ve only done about 3 or 4 dozen cars and I remember this situation happening before but it was on a friends junk car that I was practicing on. After doing the headlight a 2cd time the customer wasn’t home but his wife came out and I could tell she was that impressed so I gave her back the money her husband gave me. Then about 2 hours later the husband called me and said for me to come back and take the money but in reality the headlights didn’t come out crystal clear. Now I’m worried that I will have headlights like this again.
@grandmastert01 like I said you can only work with what is given to you you're always going to have headlights like this and you got to do your best to spot if you think this is going to happen to give your customer realistic outcome.. I swear I always do a pre-inspection before I get started...
@@theheadlightrestorationpro your right , I wish I saw or noticed this before I started … live and learn I guess
@grandmastert01 yeah it just comes with experience in time..
Gotdamnit! I'm not expecting comical satire when I watch your highly technical and educational content. So I wasn't expecting to eject the iced tea I was drinking through my nose when the guy asked you if you photoshop your photo catalog. Phuk that hurts which makes it all the more hilarious cuz it's impossible not to laugh even though the pain is causing your eyes to water, LOL!
Bruh, please don't drink diet soda it's worse than regular soda. The sweeteners they use do something weird to trick your body and causes great difficulty in the bodies breakdown process of what you eat. I started brewing my own Iced Tea using real unprocessed sugar and only 2 cups per 6 quarts with a dash of cinnamon. Even people who don't like iced tea love my brew. And anything with an anti-caking agent in it, like table salt. That shit is silica, tiny shards of jagged glass that cause micro incisions in the blood system. Guess what the body uses to patch those incisions? Cholesterol!
There is no bad cholesterol the body needs that stuff, my pops is 84 in October and if it wasn't for that damn vaccine he wouldn't have needed the stint put in his heart causing him to take the only prescription medicine he takes. But he still works part time, plays weekends in a band and has no issues getting around. And every morning he eats ham and eggs with hashbrowns. I appreciate you and only want what's in your best interest and share the results of my research of the many ways we are being lied to, robbed from, and reclassified into lower statuses away from our national identity.
Wow . Interesting....thanks for the information .👍🏽
@@theheadlightrestorationpro Yes sir, I am full of it......information that is, LOL! You share yours the least I can do is share mine and it is my honor to do so, thank you. And you have a spectacular day sir, I insist, lol.
@Rundark- 😁
Could I use the headlights themselves for a heat source when polishing them?
No I don't think so it would interfere with certain things you're trying to do and see before it would provide any warmth....
@@theheadlightrestorationpro I guess you're right, and I was thinking that it wouldn't let me see any imperfections because of the large amount of light on the work surface. Sometimes more isn't always a good thing.
