What better way to give tutorials than the company itself! Nice job! 👍
I just bought this kit yesterday. It’s really amazing how well it works. I was able to get like-new results with only the clarifying compound.
Still looking good 5 months later? That's the thing I'm concerned about but with how easy it is, I guess it's not that big of a deal to keep re-doing, if it comes back.
@@hhaste Funny you mention that. I just was looking at my headlights a couple of days ago, and they're fogging up a little bit again, but still look way better than they did before I hit it with the compound. Considering it only took 10-15 minutes to do both headlights, I'd still say it's a win.
It worked fine on my 23 year old headlights. Followed the instructions exactly and went through all the steps. Very effective. Be aware there are two different kits available, one including lubricant and more pads, which is what I used. There's also a "quick" kit with a two-sided pad and lacking the lubricant (you use water instead). Good product from turtle Wax.
I got the new 2022 kit. They skipped the spray lubricant (you just use water) and 1 sanding disk, but it still did a phenomenal job. I would recommend using the #1 sanding step a second time until no more yellow stuff comes of your headlight. I found only 1 pass did leave quite some dirt on the headlight. Then follow-up with the #2 sanding pass.
This kit is absolutely awesome. I got extremely good results tonight. It's not perfect. But it is so much better. They almost look new again. And it will do the job until I can buy new housings
My recommendation would be
1: clean the headlight,
2: tape necessary surrounding area,
3: use solution and pads 1-4,
4: use buffing cream,
5: finish off with bouth wipes,
Well that's what I did to save time.
How does it save time doing the optional steps before the step that determines if the optional steps are needed?
@@timmywashere1164 For my case, the optional steps was the right choose, and I just don't do what instructions tells you. And that's how you save time. If I would go as per instruction it would take me more time to achieve the end product. That's how you save time when you do the optional steps, while skipping "main" part.
Wait, isn't this the same thing he did?
Thank you. They came out great. Looks like new headlights.
My wife bought this kit. I laughed.
I had used a 3m kit that required a sanding disc and hours of work per car for both our cars. So how can this kit work as well as that? Well, it does, but it it better because it requires so much less work.
How does it do what the 3m kit does? Chemicals? voodoo... not sure, but I was surprised. The lens clarifying compound I thought was just a vary fine polishing compound but it seams to actually dissolve the cloudy outside part of the lens and not just remove it via polishing because it takes like 5 minutes to do this. I simply used a paper towel triple folded and whetted with the clarifying compound, made sure I spread it over the entire lens and then rubbed it in until the wetness evaporated and it started to remove the compound and then the lens simply became clear. Yap, just as simple as that. Cloudiness GONE.... MAGIC? yup..haha.
The 3M kit, I was using 3 levels of polishing for like, an hour. So how does 5 minutes of rubbing this clarifying compound from this kit equal more then an hour of work with a drill and sand paper? Well that is the part where I was surprised.... uh, well truthfully, I was shocked and amazed... yup.
One thing I can say, I am curious if the protectant will in fact protect my headlights from getting cloudy again. If that does happen, I will re-use what is left from this kit then apply a spray clear coat with UV protectant.
BOTTOM LINE: I do fully recommend this kit, it works. Just follow the directions.
Very effective compound!
Strip of scrap corrugated cardboard worked well to isolate headlight from paint (instead of masking tape).
This product is awesome! I watched a video where pros tried 6 different brands simultaneously and this one came out on top. I was sold and bought it that day, worked great!
Yyeeaahh, it works!!! And mines was really bad and it did the job very nice
Worked on mine, literally thought wwas a load of bs, but when i finisbed was shocked with the results wish i took before and after pics
Does either of the wipes protect against UV? Also, is there something I cam apply regularly to keep it from oxidizing again?
Definitely awesome!!! Works in my Lexus ES 300 year 2000 🔥
Great Video, Great Tutorial, Great Product!! This my 1st time using and i am very satisfied!!
קיט נפלא…מחדש ומחיה את הפנסים…תוצאה נהדרת !!!
Fabulous product!!!!
Good product. Helped me.
Does the sealant contain, UV protection?
I sanded down on a certain area on my headlight too much to where it came out foggy, will this kit fix the problem or did I damage the plastic ?
I use a blue kitchen scotch scratch (blue does not scratch plastic in the kitchen Ex. microwave controls, the green scratch does scratch/scars plastic) and Meguiars Restore & Polish which did an amazing job. I was still not satisfied, so used the blue scratch pad and wet baking soda - which took another layer of the oxidated yellow scum off. I did use Meguiars polish to try and protect it for 6 months. This only lasts 6 months, it must be restored biannually.
Does it have to be a cotton cloth only?
Oh dang, I messed up. I did the sanding in reverse, I did #4 -#1. Crap
Abdallah M HAHA 😆
I hadn't touched my headlights since 2009. This kit really brought them back to life! The real question though, is going to be how long is it going to last like this before I need to again. I know the seal is going to be the real determiner for this. Hope it lasts at least a couple of years!
I followed all the instructions you gave and everything looks perfect, It says that coating will cure within 24 hours, I let it cure for 36 hour but the surface remains oily
What should I use to remove that oily feeling?
Because I try in one side and it turns blurry
Man I was hoping for easier. Guess I’m gonna turn on some tunes get a box of Corona and go for it.
*_HEY. JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP AND SEE IF YOU GOT CORONA._*
@og rip fr
Lol right I’m pissed 💀
@@wauliepalnuts6134 he did in fact get Corona but he is okay now.
Lolol this might be the best comment I've ever seen
One headlight turned out great and the other one could’ve used more scrubbing with the sandpaper pads. They ran out of effectiveness before the job was done.
Contacted turtle wax and they’re sending another set of sandpaper squares and wipes I have plenty of the rubbing compound and lubricant.👍
Need efforts for perfect result but Works 100%
Good product.
how long does it need to dry?
Can I reuse the scrub pads? I still have the chemicals from the previous restoration kit I bought. I just hate having to buy the whole kit again when all I need are scrub pads.
I think they want you to buy a new kit. But you can buy various grades of wet/dry sandpaper and ceramic wax sealant (spray) instead of the wipes. That way you can do multiple jobs.
its good to first wash :D
After doing this, how long will it last until they turn yellow again?
Minimum 1 year. And depends on global location and climate.
Turtle Wax i used this kit how long does it last till you have to do it again it worked great btw. Only things i would improve is bigger sanding pads and more base coat and lens sealing wipes because like most people you stuck with leftover clean clarifying compound and lubricant spray.
Hey, Roy. We appreciate your feedback! Once you have used our Headlight Lens Restorer Kit, we recommend waiting until your headlights are dull enough to use the kit again. To confirm, there is no specific wait time as it depends on the car and usage.
Turtle Wax where can I buy more wipes? Both the base coat and sealant.
Francisco Roldan even to this day i still don’t know think they make you buy a new kit.
@@turtlewax Shying away from the comment about the sealing pads? Where can we get replacements? We don’t want to have to buy a whole new kit when we have most of the products left over
@@shanethrelfall416 since the clowns won't answer buy more boxes of wax remove the pads and return the boxs back 2 the store
Tried using it on a fog light and it did nothing, I'm guessing the oxidation could be on the inside then.
Read the complete instructions first. The video fails to mention that the base coat should dry before applying the sealer.
Can you purchase the wipes on their own so you can restore multiple headlights with the one kit? If not what product do you recommend that performs a similar function the the two wipes?
Did you ever find any?
@@MS-37 No luck. Even emailed Turtle Wax with no reply.
Mine didn’t come with the spray lubricant 😞
just did this today and they look perfect. Hopefully the coating sticks for awhile. I tried toothpaste, sandpaper style and some other techniques. This one looks the best by far!!!
Hello Cory. Great to hear the Headlight Lens Restorer Kit worked out!
Glad to hear that because I tried all those methods with no success. Just grabbed some from Pep Boys, hopefully it works
How long did they last until your headlights turned yellow again?
@@SuperReedScott about a year...I switched to Meguiars two step brand it it works better.
@@corybaker1527 I guess I should have bought Meguiars because the Turtle wax did nothing and I mean nothing!
If you had your headlights done within a year just the cleaning compound and use both wipes does fine. Why don't you sell the wipes separately?
Because of Money 💰
Money
Hello!
Is this kit meant for both car lights or just one?!
There was more than enough for both of mine when I did it
So complicated, i changed my mind
Proud of you
I don't have lubricant in my package???
How to take off the wipe polish it slime😮
I was quite impressed with this product.my mercedes headlights look very good.in fact my neighbour thought id bought new ones
Mine came with no Base Coat Wipes and 2 Lens Sealing Wipes...
No
one in a million mine came with one of each.....
headlights restoration lens restorer kit turtle wax clean
Didn’t even need to do all the steps. The compound took it right off.
Even my dumba$$ was able to do this. It does work. Just make sure to have a couple clothes available.
Why be so stingy though? I mean my car comes with two headlights not just one!! So why only send me one sealing wipe and only one base coat wipe
Jackie Theron Stockstill lol I’m gonna use them for 4 headlights tomorrow 😂
You should be able to use the wipes for both headlights. I would say to do the headlight steps at the same time and not separately.
Just realized your comment was 9 months ago lol hope it went well!
I used this kit last sunday, its Wednesday now and it still hasn't dried
It works tho but the sealer still hasn't dried yet and its been 3 days
I’m learning that people are broke and cheap in this comment section 😂. Are they really complaining that it’s $8.99 and you have to purchase it again a year later for wipes 😂. Y’all realize a professional restorer charges $100 or more for a service like this and it lasts maybe 3 years. Do the math. 3 X $8.99 or $100 😂
This product sounded great. Then I realized that I was missing the pads, but did not discover this until I finally went to use it. No longer have the receipt. Obviously, someone bought this product, took the pads out and then returned the box to the store. That person was only thinking about himself and not the person, who unknowingly bought an incomplete kit. Not the companies fault, but I won't be buying this product again. Single Use kit? single use headlight len
??? I will be looking to another product.
Don't use on previously restored headlights. I have ended up with cloudy headlights with a sticky substance that I had to scrape off. the sanding pads clogged up and the old sealer is nearly impossible to remove. After careful consideration I will be taking my auto body dual action sander to cut through the sticky then I will use polishing compounds and no sealers. Just wax.
I wasted ten dollars I really could have used elsewhere.
Hey did u fix this i have the same problem
@@jacobshigenaka8534 I had my son in law use supplies from his shop and he did it for me. I finished it with rustoleum clear coat spray
@@grimacres i used a rotary and the buffing cream and it all came out
That's the thing, you have to remove any damaged clear coat that was previously there. Best to use a coarser sandpaper first before using the kit.
ESPAÑOL
No guey. Speak English 🤣
Where are the gloves? I hope they are in with the base coat wipe - otherwise I will not be happy. Happy to try this product though. It seems popular - and a bit cheaper than or on par with others. - Like I said though, I will not be happy if it doesn't have the gloves.
2k clearcoat will make it last forever.
I just did a quick search and 2k clear coat does not have UV protection. While 2k clear coat might be good, it is better to use a product such as this that does have UV protection. Many clear coat products do so use one of those instead. So far I have extensively polished the headlights on my wife's Subaru and my Toyota twice. Each time within a year or two same problem came back. Next time I am going to use a clear coat with UV protection. I bet it last at least 5 or more years.
@@robert5 use Urethane 2k clear. Just like the clear on your cars paint, you still need to maintain it. Ceramic coatings will take the clear coat far with little maintenance.
This kit was totally worth less to me, lucky they took it back , a good rubbing compound and 400-600 sand paper would have worked
I just used this kit today. It hardly made a difference to my headlight after I put an entire hour into buffing away the problem areas, which remained. Followed the instuctions diligently. Disappointed that I bought this kit. My friend has a foam kit that is far more simple to use and bought his headlights back to new. Wont be buying this kit again.
What foam kit was that ? I’m curious
Keep in mind you're spending $12 on a kit that can only be fully used once. Total rip off.
You are given a ton of clarifying compound and spray lubricant, but only enough base coat and sealing wipes for a single use.
use ice shine and seal to protect against uv and water i use it over my headlights and car paint after a coupounding
Biggest piece of dog sh!t ever. One of the sealant wipes was soaked. I applied it and noticed it was leaving liquid steaks, I reached for my rag to wipe it off and it was already too late. Yeah took the oxidization off but now my headlights look terrible. Fu** turtlewax..
But did you follow instructions tho? 🤔
