In this video I will show you the truth about the reconditioned headlights with dw 40. In many videos I have seen this method and I decided to apply it to the headlights of a volkswagen.

Those micro scratches are filled up by WD40 liquid film , that masks the fogged look and it takes day to dry by the inherent property of WD40. When washed with soap that film of WD40 is removed taking us back to square one. Thanks for showing the truth. Good work .
Yes, yes, ok. I noticed this on the first day I tried it. It begins to wear off even before a carwash. But it's still a nice method to use on short notice if you need to go somewhere and temporarily look good. Until you get the chance to restore the lenses long-term.
Whatever other remedy anyone uses, be sure to use a UV PROTECTANT as a final step! This is important! UV rays are what cause the clear plastic lens to deteriorate in the first place. They sell it as an easy to apply trigger spray, and should be applied and re-applied AT LEAST every six months, or more if you wash your car alot.
A UV protectant like Armour All?
Maguires clearcoat with added UV protection!!! The best don't be fooled by imitations!!!!😊
😂w
agreed... i used WD40 to clear out foggy ..then i used Miguair to clean it , then final step is UV spray .... if u dont use WD40 first, the headlight wont be super clear like new... many people did not know it ...
Thanks for the heads 😂up!!
I have figured out a way to completely restore your headlights back to original condition. Step one. Awesome degreaser. This will remove any yellow buildup that the sun has caused. These are UV rays that are burning the plastic. Next step water or alcohol rinse the light. Let completely air dry or assist. If wet sanding is needed for more serious cases of burning on the headlight I would suggest using only an 800 grit. The more you scratch the headlight with and more abrasive paper you will get a less better result. Step 3. Rust-Oleum non-yellowing uv-resistant gloss clear. And tgats it. Your headlight will last with the same brilliance for over a year in most cases
Hi George
Thanks for this advice on restoring the headlights.
I will try to apply these steps to one of my headlight restoration projects
WD-40 works in a pinch, but a very temporary solution; only lasts a few days, but will go right back where you started as soon as it gets wet. Pick up Mother's Mag and Aluminum rubbing compound, use a microfiber cloth, a cordless drill with a buffing pad, and within 30 minutes, your headlights will be clean and shining like new!
You’re right, it works, but just for a few days….
Simple and to the point. Thanks a lot for the video! Much appreciated.😊
WD40 treatment used to last about 48 hours on my 2005 Merc E320. Finally, took it to a friendly local garage ........ they blast cleaned all 4 headlights then sealed with a lacquer ....... perfect. That was a year ago. Still perfect. Cost ..... £30.
You could buy polymer or polymerization lamp and do awsome job in 10-15minutes for 10-15$, it restore headlights like they are new and after one polymerization you are good for next 3-5years.
@@fastenfasten4803 where can I find poly lamp for about $15?
How do I use it on the head light?
Ah yes lacquer, i should hv thought of that
I guess a lot of you people are missing the point of the video, Try reading first, It says the "Truth" about using WD 40. He is NOT endorsing the product for using it as such
I use WD-40 three or four times it made my lights worse than what they are
WD-40 do not work looks good when you spray it on there after you wipe back to oxidine
Talk about dumb!! What the he'll is wrong with people today??🤪
Not a he it’s a bot
Use polishing compound with a small orbital buffer. To take the haze and yellowing off. Then buff with clean pad to shine it up more. It’s less expensive than kits and gives same results.
Have you try using polymer or polymerization of headlights?
Buffing alone will not remove old cracking flacking yellowing clearcoat such as 2k,
@@fastenfasten4803 No and never will!!! Only use a certified clearcoat like Maguires clearcoat with added UV protection, If it's not written on the can for headlights only don't use it!!!
I have heard there is a clear coat on headlights and wd40 destroys the clear coat and then it will be really bad, alot of people polish headlights with a cutting compound and polisher, that seems to work well im going to try that soon , I have tried it with a car polish/wax by hand and that did work a bit
Man this is the classic I’m taking in the used car to get sold at the dealer move. Do you guys know what happens after it wears off ? A worse looking headlight
Did u sand it before u spray wd 40?
Thank you man The truth must come out
Need a very fine sand paper like 300-500 grit then use the WD with the sand paper and it works just fine. So does metal polish like Autosol
true. in this video I also used abrasive paper 2000
How long did you wait is my question..and I wonder if you just sprayed water but didn't wipe it if it would last longer.
Macht das bevor ihr zum TÜV fahrt damit habt ihr keine Probleme wegen Scheinwerfer.
Yes you showed the truth. Thank you 🙏
Thank you
Same effect can be achieved with a clear coat spray paint. It's more long lasting than WD40.
Okay I have been restoring headlights for over 20 years. The Volkswagen headlight and headlights from other vehicles are all individual and made of different types of plastic. Volkswagen, some BMW's Volvo's and Porsches all have different texture to their headlight plastic. I would not recommend this method for even the easiest job.
Hello, I appreciate your work.
This video is made to prove that nothing good can be done with this WD 40
That was the entire point of his video? Did you even watch it?!
does it clears from inside
Turtle Wax headlight restoration kit works the best and only costs around $10.
Picked it up today, will try it out and see how 💯 it is
@@38tonystarks how did it work?
@@frogsmoker714 it’s just temporarily, but the turtle wax chrome shine lasts longer
@@38tonystarks Thanks for the info.
In realtà fa solo una pellicola brillante ma si attacca tutta la polvere ed appena lavi l'auto i fari tornano come prima.
Ottieni lo stesso effetto anche con l'olio di semi olio motore olio d'oliva, gasolio..
Use WD-40 to clear them up, then possibly some sort of clear coat, ceramic coat or Maguire's headlight coating to protect them...
Sand w 2000 grit sandpaper and then buff them w medium compound. Will last much longer.
Oh yea, the used car dealer trick! I see so many people driving off used lots with shiny lights and then after the first couple of washes, they look like hell lol. Spend a few hours and wet sand and clear coat them bad boys!
Part of my regular car home wash routine is to do this to the headlights. I use the cheap stuff from Asian shops. 20+ years no problems. I do it last, couple
Of squirts on "my headlight rag." Less than 5 easy minutes.
Down check for that damn comPUtur Voice.
Exactly what i thought... i dont know why people think wd40 will fix your foggy headlights .... since the "foggyness" on the headlight is just tiny scratches that u need to wet sand and polish to have them like new again.... stop this wd40 bullcrap. Thank you for this video!!!!
WD-40 is pretty useful in general so you would want to have some just in case.
I use it too loosen up stuck screws or bolts or a key.
Just use 800 grit sand paper, Apply
Alcohol, spray clear uv
And boom you should be good.
It's easy once you figure it out
Me, I rather think of using clear liquids than use an industrial dark liquid on a clear headlight
That's that's just me.
Also that voice tho.
Probably won't try this one chief lol thanks for the video 👌🏻
:)) Thanks for watching my video
I used WD-40 to clean my headlights, and it worked for about a day, but they ended up in about 27 hours fading again, even worse than they were originally.
Wow thanks I was about to do that.!
É verdade e tira riscos também fiz no meu carro hoje ficou top
Mas ele esta' dizendo que WD40 NAO dura depois que se lava o carro. Entao WD40 nao e' permanente.

You can use " Deep Woods Off " also
How long does it last?
@@markcheek5006 anything with DEET in it will ruin plastic. He will want you to check the head light fluid next.
I know now someone said toothpaste which only lasts a couple weeks if that long.
Wd40 , It made my headlights worse when it wears off
Lane Read re apply it again then 😆
ruclips.net/video/iZ0fL3ZGqyE/видео.html
I did this to my headlight.
ruclips.net/video/NnOKvJLX9OM/видео.html
its last for 7 to 12 month
I suspect those videos that use WD 40 , and just spray on and wipe off and have fantastic results are. They start with a clear lense. Spray some thing that looks like a oxidized light. Then the WD 40 just wipes what was sprayed on right off. All for the purpose of making You Tube videos. You Tube viewers pass it around to their friends. More views for their channel.
Huh? Use WD 40 to get shiny but if you go to the care wash "Dont use this technique because the lights won't shine for a long time". Then he says the next video will show how to shine them. What the hell? Does WD40 work or does it not?
No it does not.
It looks ok for a ver short time. Like rain, or a couple of sunny days.
the best way to keep the lights clear is to buff them up using 1200 or 2000 grade wet and dry paper so they go really cloudy then spray clear coat finely over them,
all the WD40 does is acts like clear coat or water and makes the lights seem new and clear while they are wet, clear coax dries but keeps them clear, or at least until the sun damages the clear coat or you scratch it off..
Wd 40 does not work for headlights, infact it remained the same.
ruclips.net/video/iZ0fL3ZGqyE/видео.html
The only real solution is glass headlights and they really don't make them anymore. If you use WD-40 it actually does work but you also need a clear coat to spray over that after its wiped clean and it will only last you about a year
Tried it works great
Thus wash your car first, then apply wd-40.
ruclips.net/video/iZ0fL3ZGqyE/видео.html
Stop being Stupid!! Can't you understand it don't frigging work😂🤪
It doesn't work ,once it dry's it turns back to the way they were but not as bad I wouldn't recommended using it
Hi
That's right, it doesn't work and I don't advise doing this either.
I made this video to show that it doesn't work
It will temporarily make it clear but will fade and wash off. Wd is not a good headlight clear up product Unless ya just want a fast fix for brief time
like for an MOT to pass 😂😂😂👍
just use toothpaste works every time and permenant
Also not permanent
Crap💩💩💩😡
Mine is worse with thicken scratch on headlight
Gampang sekali, masa bisa wd 40 bossss
I used a pure paste carnauba wax three times per year on them, and my Corvette's headlight covers were as new when I sold in on Dec 22, 2020
So what works??
Nooo
Bacase it is scratched by polishing in previous cleanings… baisicly it has scratches…
I did a video on this topic and demonstrate what WD40 will do for your headlights. It's like magic. Took badly hazed headlights and made them look like new
I used tooth paste the whitening kind and it worked
How long did It last?
THIS VIDEO IS BACK TO FRONT
Just stand on your head to watch it!
The video was stolen from someone else.
ruclips.net/video/iZ0fL3ZGqyE/видео.html
Beneran ga sih itu cuma pake wd?
Just keep a can in the car a spray it before leaving car wash.
It will not work I tried earlier...
What would happen if you where to seal the wd40 afterwards with some clearcoat ?
Clear coat won't stick.
Can you do IT om watch glass

Use WD40 as lubricant 😂

It doesn’t work. If you watch the full video the light goes back to normal l
It's unfortunate, too bad they the auto manufacturing company's don't use glass anymore.....yes I understand some say it's cheaper, however glass never had these problems. Just a thought.
Your way wrong!! It was changed for safety sake!! Put it this way would you rather be hit from a glass bottle or plastic!!!🤔 Get over it move on!!!🤣
Chill, a bit heavy handed....Modern cars also have more complex shaped headlights more difficult to mold than plastic....@@keithroberts5611
Thanks. You save my money.
Gimme it!
Awesome video and very useful ! Big thumbs up 👍
Thank you Emma
Of course it does this. Have you ever seen a drop of oil hit a paper bag? It makes the spot transparent. The WD40 is basically oil sticking to the plastic, doing the same thing.
will shine cause wet but will not clean ty....as u can see
"The headlight becomes mad like at the beginning"? What is the robot saying?

Most vehicles , to replace the entire headlights cost around $125
Cost me £0 in UK you can go into a scrapyard and take parts free 😁

Thank you,😉
Very unuseful!!!
Is there a special way of doing it because it didn't work on my car
Leave it on for 10 or 15 minutes
Try "Soft Scrub", it worked for me!

@@samali108 Please don't let the people who are not interested in you wrecking your head lighting system just like the ones that are more likely to be given stupid and expensive advice to make a person who is obviously not a car enthusiast or a person who will eventually become aware that its not right that he is not having a problem with his claim that it's possible to renew his glass (PLASTIC) Headlight with a corrosive engine substance that is not meant to use on glass, plastic or other ways to use a plastic headlight that will be a great new development for a reason that is not meant to be necessary to prevent a naive person who is obviously not a good person to be useful in a world that is not the pretty picture of a pitted plastic headlight that will become more difficult for you to see if you want to use a plastic lighting system and a better solution for glass windex or other premium products that are cheaper and more efficient cleaning products that are used for the purposes of cleaning. What are the general principles of a product like WD-40, TOXIC CHEMICALS THAT ARE USED FOR THE CLEANING PROCESS OF RUST. I am still not sure what to expect from watching a video of a product that is suitable to become a blow torch fluid and I would be so interested to know if you have ever been in a science class or something like a learning experience or something else that would be able to make a decent decision on a suitable and accurate basis to make a claim. If you have not rubbed it to hard it is not going to have a lot of impact on the Plastic headlight, which is why the car is getting a little bit more light and more efficient like the idea of a pitted plastic headlight that will become more difficult for a reason that is not meant for people who are doing it for the claim that it's possible that repairs and services that are used for the good of your car making it easier is not the same as saying that it is a glass durable quality headlight that is pitted from years of service and the ability to develop and improve the glass is not going to be a easy task. Probably not a good for you. The damage that a product like WD-40 is capable of doing is not going to be repaired by a cloth and WD-40 it will make it harder for the future person to have to be able to make a decision to keep a good enough piece of glass headlights from the same results as the plastic headlight that will become junk and the ability for a replacement is the thing that can be used for the damage that happened before the public is aware that its not right to be a tip to ruin other people's things. This was a little bit of a effort to make it harder to get a public opinion about it anymore because it was a claim that is false, but I don't think that you are going to be a successful candidate for a misleading claim that doesn't make sense. I watched the video and I was not going to swallow the whole thing but I don't know about the way he is not wanting to warn you that you are not going to get a reaction from the chemical that is not right. Good LUCK with your new look plastic lights that are used for most cars now.
Hi I’m new I want to now with spray do you use because that is look oil
It is WD-40, it's a oily based degreaser
I don't believe in wd40 but I knows for shure that polymer lamp doing awsome job in restoration headlights for few dollars
Yes. I will try to make a video with something like that
After cleaning with wd40 spray headlight with clear enamel, 2 coats, let first dry
It won't stick, because WD40
lol WHAT. No. Clear coat won’t stick because wd40 is a GREASE based compound. Don’t give advice if you don’t know what you’re talking about. You could make people ruin their headlights. If you spray clear coat over wd40 it will run and look like dog crap
It cleans but its not a polish, dont confound those two
Wipe first before spraying the product 🤔
So whats the good products for permanent effect?

There's no permanent solution to headlights deterioration over time!! Anybody who tells you different is lieing!!

using wd40 is a waste of time. It's only a temporary fix
temporary like one day
I'm just going this far > it works fine for now!
How long it lasts the effect?
Max a day or two and do remember it attractes lot's of dust as wd-40 is little sticky in nature
WD-40 is good to have fog off but not for cleaning of headlights. its not good
It does not work
