Just did mine last week and got same results. All in one bottle!
I must say these videos are giving me so much knowledge I can use in my headlight restoration journey thanks so much I am trying to watch all the videos and fill up on all the knowledge
Yes with this channel on these videos you can really get your skills up to a point where there's no competition... These results sell themselves and a second to none you can achieve them with a little bit of practice and most definitely watching these videos...
Appreciate you watching..👍🏽
Your vids are fantastic!!! Thanks man. 🎉
Hey....thank you for watching and supporting...I'm happy that you enjoy it..😊
For me, I think a lot of the headlight compounds are good. But you can't beat 3M, their reasonable price and years of science behind it. CG's products are great, but here in NZ, they're very expensive, they're seen as an 'exotic' American brand for car enthusiasts.
Interesting... Yeah there's not much to have pizza or compares to 3M products...💯
Another very informative and through video. For both the user and the customer. Well done. Be blessed. My friend.
Awesome
Looks like a decent product. Have you tried the P&S headlight compound?
Not yet have someone back order.. looking forward to trying it out I'll use other products from them as well..
I use Meguiar's Plastix for cleaning and polishing and then Meguiar's headlight restoration and they come out as clear as yours . Also I let dry naturally but not in the sun they dry to fast they do need a 24 hour curing time with no humidity and temperature around 70 and then they will be perfect.
oh wow, that example of the car headlights after the drive through car wash look exactly like my headlights LOL.. yeah that's why I'm subscribed.. my lights are hot garbage LOL.. thanks for all your videos detailing the process. it gives me hope that soon I can do my lights.
You definitely got it these videos will be here you can always watch them to figure something out that you need to know and or watch them while you're doing the restoration step by step...💯🤓 Really glad you found the channel I'm glad you enjoyed the videos...
what do you charge for such a restoration as this? Ballpark? Fantastic video
ruclips.net/video/ufwtlPPgEKQ/видео.htmlsi=sink133TnSQ8lmvl
with the spot fixes in this video, was it P800 or the Trizac 3000 ?
P800.. you always want to start in reverse... The less aggressive method.. or the last method you just used. And if that doesn't work then you go more aggressive.
What is your opinion on the wipe on coatings like the crekote brand or the 3m one?
Amazing clarity..
Yeah stuff's no joke this restoration was pretty crystal clear shockingly in fact..💯
Great stuff dude,I tried flitz polish it turned out great
👍🏽 hell yeah
I noticed you are using speed 2 on your Ryobi drill when you were sanding with the P500 disk. How long should you sand this and will it overheat?
Yes I go on high speed I wouldn't recommend that for somebody who's not used to it it took me months to transition into doing this... You have to know when to do it and when not I would advise starting on the slower setting or feathering the trigger a lot more which I am doing but might not be noticed.. when going this fast you always have to keep it moving for not to overheat as far as burning and stuff you'd almost have to be trying to do it but it's much easier at the same time on certain areas like corners or Sharp difficult pieces to do...
Terrific video, really informative and interesting, I just hope I get at least half as good result as you (my headlights are as yellow and scratched up as can be) I have a 15 year old Peugeot 207 but I am going to try!!!!
Never worked on that vehicle before... But like I said Thank you got it and if you need a helping hand feel free to ask questions and also you can watch the videos as you do it.. that's what I would do..
I’m using the spar urethane/mineral spirits formula.
I agree with that customer, better to pay you for a headlight restoration and park like that, then to risk backing out of their driveway and getting into a car accident. may seem expensive to pay for headlight restoration, but it's a lot cheaper then going through car insurance paying an auto body shop
By far...less than the premium in any case...💯🤓
I tried 2 clear up head light on Highlander wasn't that bad used 800 then 3000 I was disappointed I dont think I made any difference difference
Damn, looks like a solid product!
Shockingly it is when you use this way but the funny thing is it's not meant to be the way they market it is used for polishers I've never once seen them use it in this manner on their advertisements...
@@theheadlightrestorationpro you honestly know more than they do 👍🏼
Ha ha....yes.
..😁🤓
So if you were detailing your vehicle and you were going to put on a ceramic coating. Would it be ok to put it on first before adding the Meguiars UV coating?
Not at all .. never do something like this.... It falls under double coating.. and also you could run into adherence issues...
I'm more than likely it would be irrelevant one would cancel out each other... It would affect your light output and also your clarity....
Ceramics really don't belong with headlights anyway you put it...

What grits do you from starting to finishing?
My 2018 Sonata has cloudiness on the top of the lens and nothing at all in the bottom.
Do I have buff the whole lens?
Appreciate your input 👌
Much blessings
All the information you seek is on every video..😊
If they take their vehicle thru a tunnel wash twice a week I imagine the paint if full of scratches and swirl marks. If you do paint correction you could probably sell them on that too.
Yes true.. harder to see on certain paint colors these people had a particular crimson or burgundy color that really didn't show too much of it also the clear coat is a lot harder than the headlight coding... So it happens like 20 times sooner or fix it 20 times worse...
Great information, just curious, are you applying 1 or 2 coats of Meguiar’s clear?. Thank you!
It should be shown in every video.
Great job, great info, thanks.
🤓👍🏽
@@theheadlightrestorationpro Question: Did you polish these lights with chemical guys restoration product? I think that what you were doing. Do you think this may replace 3M hard polish?
What I polished with should be in the video....and it is good but the 3m is the best...
Would you use clay bars to clean and remove deep debris from headlights?
Never.......
To abrasive...
Can you reply to this comment with your sanding grit progression please!!! Thanks awesome vids!
Did you use anything to clean the plastic after the polish step and before the meguire's beside the clean dry towel? Didn't know about the 2k clear coat issues. Used that on my TL a couple years ago (garaged) and an rdx this year for my parents. Going to have to redo them now.
The Polish step is at one highest levels sterilization there is ... 7800 RPM is ultra sterile environment.. very hot very clean...
The leftover embedded oils from the Polish are an extreme bonus and benefit..
Check this out..
This will explain it better.ruclips.net/video/LC4ZBu02JZg/видео.html
Out of all of the Optical Plastic restorations I've seen your work looks to be of the highest quality, loving these videos and have a few questions.. Down here in New Zealand (NZ) All of these consumables are available, apart from the P500 Gold 3M Discs (00912) we can however get 00913's which are P400 Gold Discs or 51263's which are a P600 Film Disc (Identical to the P800 you use but P600..) For the initial drill sanding step which of these would you recommend if you couldn't get your hands on P500 Gold Discs? I can alternatively get P500 discs from a band called "Netto" here but I am yet to confirm if these use an Aluminum Oxide media or not.. When sanding Polycarbonate do I strictly want to stick to Aluminum Oxide and Silica Carbide medias or is this not important? Excellent videos with informative content and like I said, the highest quality of work I have seen! Keep it up brother 👊 Sorry for the lengthy question but why would I ask anyone else?! 😂
Thank you appreciate it.. appreciate you watching 👍🏽
Hi..Not sure if u told me, but i did what u said on using some Carnuba paste wax on my new headlights to protect a bit from debris and minor scratches...Can i use the liquid paste instead of the solid paste or stick with the paste form or does it matter? Thanks
Everything you need to know is on this video here..
ruclips.net/video/kIur4XxYjDk/видео.htmlsi=WBMbjcx7fYQmBpHF
Hi..Love ur vids btw...I got the meguires clear coat coating but I remember u said it wasn't that good to use on new headlight thus u recommended some carnuba wax to protect the lights..is that correct? Paste wax or liquid wax both ok to use? Thank u sir!

All of my personal vehicles get thorough sand and polish headlight restoration as you advice
Then straight to the professional PPF shop for high quality, UV protection, self healing. Don't understand why people still use any sprays?!?!
You will understand.... Give it time.. sprays or set it and forget it and much cheaper much more durable as far as any kind of raps you're going to have a lot of issues with.. you'll probably be back to that shop numerous times... From peeling, our bubbling, water getting underneath it, cut around the long term side effects, overheating which leads to permanent damage, and my most personal favorite diminishing of light output due to the thickness and multiple layering.. falls under one not to double coat...(video now streaming)
It's not widely practiced for many reasons.. customers end up hating it..(I know this from experience with my own vehicle in the past) and it's not practical for all vehicles.. meaning more of those negative effects listed above what happened much more frequent with certain vehicles and or not applicable to certain vehicles when twist and turns and bulges and fins and dips in the headlight which many modern vehicles have... This is just a couple reasons why it's not widely practiced...
Headlight restoration in general and spray coating is what I like to call the toilet paper of headlight restoration...
Metaphorically..
Same reason why toilet paper is the perfect vessel and the most widely used for wiping/cleaning your ass... That's in perfect denomination.. I call it the toilet paper effect... You can have these expensive bidets, kind of Gross thinking about this shit getting sprayed around everywhere, expensive as well, you can use wet wipes, but the fuck your drains and the septic system up... Hell you can vent a robot or pay a person to come out the wall to wipe your ass if you got that much money.. far less practical for effectiveness, time, cost, friendliness, portable ability, manufacturing and effectiveness..
This is why toilet paper rules worldwide..
So pretty much this is why and this is why we'll always continue to rule...
It's the toilet paper effect...
Wrapping a headlight is not... This is also why the factory doesn't wrap vehicles they paint them..
Example....
ruclips.net/video/GIyP69WRwUA/видео.htmlsi=YC4u8Xnhg6ul2Jqj
Thanks for in depth and thoughtful response 🙂
I only use Xpel brand and a shop that takes very thorough prep precautions. It's been little over two years and as Crystal clear as the day they were restored. Company has ten year warranty on all work. As for price... that doesn't bother me personally, detailing my vehicles is my hobby 🙂
@@cmongimme 👍🏽
I have another question please - I don't have a polishing machine can I use my drill with the sponge and compound? Will it still work ? And thank you ☺ ☺
It will work to an extent...it will be better than not doing the step at all but really won't be up to these standards...
@@theheadlightrestorationpro Right... damn it, even if it's not as beautiful an outcome as yours is it will still probably be a little better than it is now - I have just got to believe!! Thanks ever so much for your kindness and replies I will be back when I have finished one last thing my sandpaper is black very soft but black is that a problem?
If it's not sandpaper I use I have no idea how to come out.... More than likely not as good.

do you wear your respiratory throughout every step of the process?
Sometimes I don't...but I should always all the time... I wear regular covid-type mask sometimes also the pink cartridges respirator cuz I have two different respirators.. but you should always unless you have something else that is keeping the dust and vapor off of you...
What do you think of their Jet Seal sealant???
Crap ..it's just a paint sealant for after you wash your car...at most can use for an additive ( aftercare) but definitely not headlight restoration.
I re-watched this video and think another thing wrong with my outcome is I may have used a bit too much of the chemical guys. I was following your method when you were still using the 3m polish and I'm thinking too much polish plus the wrong polishing pad led to cloudiness after I was gone polishing. Will definitely let you know how my next restoration turns out.
@legit_crossfit now you're thinking..💯
Have been watching your vids and learning a lot, but wanted your take on vapor smoothing. I'm looking at creating a 'vapor smoothing box' that i would place the entire headlight into (easily done for my '01 Silverado). Have you tried anything like this, and would you still need to coat After smoothing?
TIA
I urge you to watch some of my different videos..I have a bunch on my page..
This one is about VAPOR....
ruclips.net/video/OZMK4LOAVwc/видео.html
Thanks. I did watch that one earlier. Had forgotten that you covered coating after vapor. My misunderstanding may have stemmed from watching 3d printing vids about vapor smoothing where they infer that it isn't so much a coating process, but a chemical polishing/blending or even melting action. I don't have the experience nor the chemistry background to backup either idea.
I followed your regular vid for m '02 caddy and they look great! One mistake I made was forgetting that you told us to only use ONE coat of Meguires, so it looks like I'll be redoing them sooner than expected.
🦾🤓💯
Just for the record you don't want to do it on a dead customers vehicle either J/K. I think the process is called Gassing out the product.
Lol...👍🏽
Thoughts on using aluminum polish instead of sand paper?
Not strong enough.... And it will not go deep enough for about 99% of the lights..
Also I'm an advocate for use the prescribed product for the job... There's too many products out there to have to dip into some other issues products...
I shouldn't be using cooking oil running a vehicle.. there's hundreds of different car oils out there... Metaphorically speaking..
@@theheadlightrestorationpro thoughts on this chemical guys product? I'm buying this. It claims to be a polish and a protectant?
@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82 should be some thoughts on it on this video ..
Also this one..ruclips.net/video/bX1jeS29Ei0/видео.html
Hi, just curious to how you mention not to clear coat a restored headlight because of damage, cracking and sh1t. But the factory clear coats the headlights when you originally buy them. What is the difference?
Very confused about your question and have no idea what you mean...🥴🥴🥴🥴
Well, you mention to not use 2k clear on prepped headlights for many reasons. I was just wondering what the difference was between the 2k clear one would put on his headlights vs the clear coat put from factory. When vehicles come out from factory clear coat on headlights they last at least 5 years. Is that because the polycarbonate is fresh and new and has zero degradation?
@goldenbear31 okay still a little bit complicated but I'm hearing what you're speaking about I believe.. yes headlights last longer from the factory... I think it's because it's the original bonding.... You should never put two k clear on a light it's not designed for headlight... What the what the factory puts on a headlight is nowhere near 2K clear for most vehicles... They use something that's designed bond to plastic which negates 2K clear because it's not designed to bond a plastic it's designed to bond to paint and other things...
But yes I believe it's because the headlight is freshly made...
amazing video, i cannot wait my 3M supplies and the chimical guys polish !!
Hell yeah man..💯🧨
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How much do you charge for this type of service? Ty
It's dependent on many different variables like year make and model of vehicle and or level of degradation of headlight..
If you want to know what people charge in your area is probably the better question and you would have to look that up yourself.. the going prices change from City to City just takes a state and also can be set upon skill level..
Does the meguiar headlight coating you use leave much or any orange peel? I assume it much better to use instead of other automotive clear coats.
Love the vids btw :)
So much better it's crazy...and zero orange peel... smooth as glass ..
Why do u sound like that?
