Had glass headlights on my old Citroen BX GTi. An impact with a pigeon was all it took to destroy one! And,incidentally,the glass was 5 to 6mm thick! Plastic has flexibility,unlike glass. Oh,and regarding dullness,the (in situ)application of Solvol Autosol metal polish with an electric buffing pad will restore most plastic units to their original shine, and ,should they be lacquer coated,this can be reapplied via a rattle can of clear coat from your local DIY store.

I think that General Motors used something like this to polish their plastic steering wheels pre-1970's From Wikipedia: Vapor polishing is a method of polishing plastics to reduce the surface roughness or improve clarity. Typically, a component is exposed to a chemical vapor causing the surface to flow thereby improving the surface finish. This method of polishing is frequently used to return clear materials to an optical quality finish after machining. Vapor polishing works well in the internal features of components. Feature size changes of the plastic component generally do not occur. Post stress relieving is usually required as vapor polishing sets up surface stresses that can cause crazing[citation needed]. Plastics that respond well to vapor polishing are polycarbonate, acrylic, polysulfone, PEI, and ABS. The technique is also being used to improve the surface of objects created with 3D printing techniques. As the printer deposits layer upon layer of material to build the object, the surface is often not entirely smooth. The smoothness of the surface can be greatly increased by vapor polishing.[1]
All I know is what I read on the wiki and don't recall where I read about the 1960's use case for plastic steering wheel finishing. These days in the USA the vapors would make such techniques unpopular with the Air Quality Management authorities. The Acetone that I think they used is pretty strong solvent and might just remove any paint.@@sttm1283

Heres a fact people you can get a better result wet sanding from 1000 to 5000grit, then using a small 3" rotary polisher with compounds and GOOD quality buffing and polishing pads. Second of all holding a flame under a thin aluminum can with acetone is extremely extremely f**king dangerous. Acetone is more flammable than gasoline. A lot more flammable and i do not recommend this because when it goes it all ignites at once going BOOM!!! exactly like gun powder.

“The stoichiometric ratio is the exact ratio between air and flammable gas or vapor at which complete combustion takes place.” Just because there’s a natural gas being let out of the swamp doesn’t mean someone else on the other side of the county doesn’t get to smoke a cigarette. Have you ever seen the video of the pale of gasoline that someone puts a welding ark in? The fire triangle states that there’s a source of ignition, and there’s a source of fuel, but there’s not a source of oxygen, regardless, the ratio of the oxygen to the fuel still has to meet the efficient.
@@williamcope2652 key there being complete combustion... or the ideal mixture for efficiency. Many flammables have a very wide range of combustion, although not ideal. I believe acetylene will burn from a 10% to a 90% mix with air. The sociometric point of gasoline is 14.7:1 expressed as a ratio. I'd have to look up acetone.
@@williamcope2652 The stochiometric point is for ideal combustion. IOW, least emissions and most power. Gasoline is 14.7:1 but there is a wider range of flammability overall. They are called the LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) and the UEL (Upper Explosive Limit) You also have to consider the conditions where you actually have a vapor to burn. Gasoline has no vapor at around -50F but plenty at room temp. Fuel oil / diesel has almost no vapor till you reach over 125F. IOW, you need the vapor and the air mixture. In this video there's plenty of air so it's a matter of reaching a rich enough mix to go boom.

I think also that it was quite odd that you would polish the headlight and then applied the vapor acetone. 😆 Polishing is always something done last in the process but is not usually done when applying the vapor application. So that polishing you did was wack.
Just buy some goof off, rub it off with cloth like you cleaning glue off a surface you want clean then use buffing compound or car polish to buff it up .. job done
Forget all the crap that all these people tell you to use, YOU DO NOT NEED ANY OF THEM!!! Just use TOOTHPASTE!!! Then with a bit of elbow grease, rub it right in, and then rinse off with water. I use a soft scourer, then with a damp rag and water(depending how bad your headlights are, you can even use a steelo pad), then use a damp cloth and water. It may take a couple of times to get your headlights crystal clear, but it will do it!!! Under $2.00 for a tube of toothpaste, and no need for skilled tradesmen either!!!! Please try it!😀
All you need to do is Wipe on Mothers aluminum polish with a cloth and wipe off almost right away with a terry cloth or micro fiber towel. You'll be surprised. Very fast. 😁
There’s a quick way to improve lights, not as good as your method, but quick. Use kitchen cleaner like Comet with a wet towel then get a restore liquid, not expensive from auto supply to finish.
Will not last. Once the UV coating is gone, the plastic will fog. No matter how much you polish or sand or apply acetone......unless you replace the UV coating, the fogging will return.
I agree. This is why after polishing I follow up with a clear 3M film of automotive quality. The shine lasts a very long time. Great idea with Acetone vapor. Clever.

Well isn't that your fault for so readily believing this rubbish
@billyboybliss. Lost me with the can. 🙄
•Wet sand 600g if really badly oxidized.
•wet sand 1000g if still decent.
•Compound with buffer or drill adapter.
•Apply Carnauba Wax for added durability.
•Repeat as needed every year
Lol.. This is not voodoo.. Lol
Professional use this method .. It's called actone vapor polishing..
Lol
You have to get the temp just enough for the actone vapors .. They sell the kit online for less than $20
Naaaaah maaaang
@@cetujavu3466I bet these "professionals" first take few good lung full inhales of acetone frior to performing the service
Before anyone leaves another stupid commnets...lol.. Professional headlight restore palces uses this methodd..😂 and this kit being sold online..
. this guy just showed you how to make the kit cheaper using red bull can ..straw..and candel..
Wczoraj oglądałem jak gość robił to z puszką od cocacola. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Reklama, reklama, reklama 🤣🤣🤣🤣. A, woda w zupełności wystarczy 😮
Quickest way to restore any headlight is to replace them!
A Sylvania restoration kit is cheap and works great.
In Deutschland ist diese Methode (Dampfpolieren) verboten, da sich die Streuung des Lichtes verändert und zur Blendung des Gegenverkehrs führen kann.
In deutschland ist furzen beim kacken auch verboten
結局磨くんだね そんなん
アセトンじゃなくても磨いた後にクリア吹けば同じ
no i to byłby bomba pomysł ale czy na pwno wyjdzie
I think also that it was quite odd that you would polish the headlight and then applied the vapor acetone. 😆 Polishing is always something done last in the process but is not usually done when applying the vapor application. So that polishing you did was wack.
Use brake fluid and job done. But don't get it on the paint work or it will lift.
Really
@@mduduzimanyatsi9311really. I did that to mine and now it's bare metal
interesting how he can hold the can while heating it up with fire lol
It is only a lighter, the evaporating acetone will be taking much of the heat away: Latent heat of evaporation.
If you pizz on them, and use a magic erasure they look like new.
Just buy some goof off, rub it off with cloth like you cleaning glue off a surface you want clean then use buffing compound or car polish to buff it up .. job done
Try using a sander it'll be so much quicker
Uv safe clear laquer woukd be better ....but this is science at its best
AS SOON AS SAW THE RED I KNEW THIS WS A HACK
Защитного слоя нет - очень быстро пожелтеют, в китайской жиже синей есть компонент защищающий от ультрафиолета, а в ацетоне - нет
Я пробовал ацетоном на оргстекле - фигня получается, китайский чайник рулит. После химии обязательно в броню закатывать пока пыль не села.
Forget all the crap that all these people tell you to use, YOU DO NOT NEED ANY OF THEM!!! Just use TOOTHPASTE!!! Then with a bit of elbow grease, rub it right in, and then rinse off with water. I use a soft scourer, then with a damp rag and water(depending how bad your headlights are, you can even use a steelo pad), then use a damp cloth and water. It may take a couple of times to get your headlights crystal clear, but it will do it!!! Under $2.00 for a tube of toothpaste, and no need for skilled tradesmen either!!!! Please try it!😀
I bought a paste from China and just polished. looks like new!
Utter bullshit. Do it right or don't do it at all.
Де береш ацетон?
It is used to remove nail polish. It's everywhere
Way to much hassle. Use Mothers aluminum polish for a 5 minute fix 100% easy LOOKS GREAT Los Angeles
All you need to do is Wipe on Mothers aluminum polish with a cloth and wipe off almost right away with a terry cloth or micro fiber towel. You'll be surprised. Very fast. 😁
In the auto trade we cut and polish lenses.1500 first if very bad. I like your hand tools only.
А горелкой не проще?
Pakai pemberih cat kuku bisa jua.
Which is acetone
Ну и наконец после всех манипуляций на пару тройку тысяч ..три капли ацетона😂
я и говорю лапша для евротупарей, там полирнуть только осталось но про ацетон то надо было довешать)
Судя по рукам ещё что то пробывал😂
There’s a quick way to improve lights, not as good as your method, but quick. Use kitchen cleaner like Comet with a wet towel then get a restore liquid, not expensive from auto supply to finish.
Will not last. Once the UV coating is gone, the plastic will fog. No matter how much you polish or sand or apply acetone......unless you replace the UV coating, the fogging will return.
After all the sanding, several light coats of Rustoleum UV resistant clear coat will last 2-3 years.
I agree. This is why after polishing I follow up with a clear 3M film of automotive quality. The shine lasts a very long time. Great idea with Acetone vapor. Clever.
Plexus, work well, just reapply 2-4 times a year.
The upside is that when you explode your headlight, the car isn't attached.
Ацетон лучше подогревать техническим феном .
Судя по кол-ву отзывов от китайцев, ты им конкретно бизнес испортил :)
Надо сразу клеить бронепленку.
My headlights are discolored on the inside....they never show videos to solve that issue😂
Thats because you have to buy new ones.
mit 3 Tropfen Aceton und 2 stunde Arbeit
Vou fazer 😂
А как же всего 3 капли ацетона? Так можно и в автосервис отдать.
УФ защита?... 🤔 Не, не слышал 😁
А не проще купить новую .......... МАШИНУ ?
Einfacher schon. Aber eben deutlich teurer... :-(
Vielleicht einfach mit einem neuen (Satz) Scheinwerfer anfangen...
The whole world knows the headlamp lenses require us spray.
Quer dizer quê foi a acetona e não a lixa pra tirar o verniz que protege o farol. É cada uma...
Why don't you just use a buffing machine after sanding ??
It would look 10 x better.
No open flames!!
Молодец. И просмотры сделал и бабло (на Ютубе) поднял. А что там с фарой будет..., да какая разница. 🙂
Les garagistes c'est pareil ... ils te font payer cher et les phares ternissent car les phares sont faits avec un mauvais plastique
А купить нормальную полировочную машинку видно слишком дорого... надо всякие костыли выдумывать
I dont see any change
In Deutschland leider nicht erlaubt und sogar strafbar..
Don't leave a drinks can with acetone in it. Either re-label it or destroy it, you never know when a child might pick it up,
Selvap!

「垂らしただけ」とは一体・・・？と考えさせられる動画でした。
Did he put 3 drops of acetone in his coffee or did I miss something? Sick of this shit. Ban the video maker.
Nice
