My 13 year old Corolla's headlamp lens oxidation was terrible. I used a liquid cleanser named Simply Soft and I was done in less than 5 minutes. It cost me less than $3, and it looked great. All it takes is a small drop on a wet cloth.
Great tutorial/instructions. I'm going to try this method on my headlight covers. I've tried multiple things, some didn't do anything, a couple cleared up then within 4 - 5 days, they looked the same as when I started. I hope this works as well for me.
A foam polishing ball on a cordless drill using mothers mag and aluminum polish is a much faster, simpler, safer, better result. No masking required, it won't hurt the paint, no multiple sanding drudgery. No lie, it really works, you can even de oxidize dull bug shields if you still have one. I didn't believe it till I did it. A quick coat of 303 aerospace protectant afterwards, boom goes the dynamite.
He should continue with 2000-2500 grit after the 1500, you can see the polish didnt really take out all the fine scratches left behind with 1500 grit. Also for all those "DIY" vinegar, toothpaste etc bullshit, if it worked, the oxidation wasn't that bad, they were most likely just dirty as hell. To remove the heavy oxidation you need to sand off the UV coat which oxidized, don't do so, and you will be looking at oxidized headlights real soon again.
I don't understand why people or viewers dis-liked this video. awsome kit defiantly going to give this a try in my detailing busines. keep up the good work.
+Flavio Gomes Lol there's always those select people. No big deal though we appreciate and focus on people like yourself who stay positive!! Thanks so much for watching!
+bing crosby the funny thing is if you price your detailing business right and have an amazing attitude and being honest with your customers will make you achieve your goals. From the help of detail king and detailers domain in new jersey check them out, they will help your business grow and amazing results I don't know about your self but my business is stronger then ever. thank you.
It doesn't have to be this complicated. Just use Meguiars 2 Step Perfect Clarity. Bought some for $28 total at Canadian Tire yesterday and my head lanterns look like new again.
Make a video with really oxidized headlights to truly show how them products really work. Them headlights are gonna look really good because they were not really bad to begin with.
I put 15 coats of the shine restorer on mine and it looked crappy in 3 months. The real truth is it doesn't take brain surgery to restore the light but it takes a brand new headlamp to keep it that way. Now humor me as to how long it will last under normal auto usage.
"Now to help us we're going to be using our special ultra sophisticated product to help lubricate the sanding called SAND EASY" other known as water... Lmfao good grief.
People saying "Oh this is an expensive method compared to the cheap kit or a new headlight" are idiots. My parent's 2008 Mercedes CLS headlights run around $700 each. I will agree that sanding the clearcoat off the headlight and then going straight to polishing is foolish. At the very least spray some duplicolor over-the-counter clearcoat on it to prevent the plastic from oxidizing quicker without any clearcoat.
reddyuda never spray over the counter clearcoat on lights. If you buff without UV treatment, it will last for years, 4+ before needing a rebuff, unlike clearcoat which is also a pain to sand out again. Buff and uv treat, thats the proper way to do it. Then, don't take your car to commercial washes that use heavy solvents that oxidize plastics
Finally someone with some knowledge. You BUFF them clear, not clearcoat. Its fun removing shitty paint clearcoat that some idiot applied to lights, and it peeled right off... shocking. Not
For all the supplies and tools he used you can just buy brand new headlights on Amazon. There are many ways to accomplish this task but this method seems way to complicated and expensive.

you don't need to take all these steps to get a great results. 600 grit, 3000grit, clear coat spray can and that's so you need. same results.
Lmao i seriously can not understand why people go from 600 to 3000...smh

Hey, you might not use this account anymore, but how did it work out in the long run?
Thanks 😊 for the video...I'll be doing same steps in my Tacoma head light same as the one u use in the video...see how it goes
Great job, but, in the next time, ON THE LIGHTS!
thats alot of work dude
the overload of spray bottles on the little table scared me ~
Clear Bra your headlights when new to avoid the problem in the first place.
I did this five years ago on my new car and they still look brand new.
That's a great job ! How much do you charge for a service like this ?
What is the names of the products you were using? Like to place an order.

is the process the same with glass or plastic ?
This is for plastic, can't really sand glass.

sir I need to learn how to restore the headlights internally

Use same stuff as for cleaning white ware.
you intense work only 5 minute , the other is dessert
my headlights are so oxydized that i cant see muy light bulbs and when the lights are on all i see is a very dull light
Restore them
For all the supplies and tools he used you can just buy brand new headlights on Amazon. There are many ways to accomplish this task but this method seems way to complicated and expensive.
not bad but i pull them out and clamp them down with a table vice and rags to do it, then give them a quick coat of clear coat
Because everyone had those tools
Mothers mag and aluminum polish and a coat of wax and your done. Liquid clear coatings don't last very long.
Too many unnecessary steps with terrible loud music.
pre treatment lmao say what it really is RIP OFF!
so basically spend 100$ on chemicals when I can do a better job with vinegar and baking soda
Alex EspoWRX right
Lol u dont need all that just water and sandpaper
@Lane AWD I know this was a year ago but try 400-3000 grit sandpaper then put pain protection on the light
Ya'll talks funeee.
Your Clock on your arm, time is wrong😂
Wolfman Jack 8:11 or 9:11? 😂
maybe he lives in different time zone
This is a lot of unnecessary work. I guess you gotta sell your products some how.
I used toothpaste and a tooth brush to clean lol
bad results
