    Amazing work, so many steps to go trough, though that sand paper is so darn expensive at almost 5 bucks a piece. In my area, 90% of the people wouldnt pay for this perfect job, they come to polish their headlights only when they are almost blind (some not even then, they say they dont use the car at night:))) I use 320, 500, 800, 1500, 2000 and 3000 grit for sanding and in the end i use the polimer for coating. I know its not the best way for the headlights on the long run , but its fast, with decent results, it lasts quite long and its cost effective.

    Thank you so much for zooming in on the pig tails early in the video and adding that.. I’ve been struggling for well over 2 years with those little pig tail marks after p220 with kovax.. this has solved such a big problem I’ve had costing me hours and thousands of dollars in supplies trying to fix it. Thank you AMD!

    What is your preferred compound and polish brand? I've seen you use different ones in different recording, Carpro and Ewocar. What would you recommend? Also, thank you for taking the time to show/teach, your work is amazing!

    • @Amddetailing
      @Amddetailing  4 месяца назад +1

      as I said in earlier videos, I have been working with Ewocar for 3 years and believe me that all products are excellent both in terms of quality and price, and for the hardener and coating, the brand is not important, you just want it to be a fast hardener

    Excellent job. Now the questions: Since I have the Kovax suitcase with all the sandpapers and sanding blocks and cards, but not a sanding machine , am I gonna have the same result doing this job by hand? (I also have a rotary and da polisher with all the necessary compounds). What about beginning the process from 600 grit if there is less damage ? Thank you

    • @Amddetailing
      @Amddetailing  4 месяца назад +1

      everything depends on the hardness of the headlights, it's hard to remove the damage with 600 paper, I can, but it takes a long time

    That headlight will fade / discolour in a the future as the original clearcoat was fully removed . Re clearcoat is the ONLY job for proper protection!

    • @Amddetailing
      @Amddetailing  5 месяцев назад +9

      only you apply various transparent coatings until you realize that it does not exist and that it is short-lived because it turns yellow, peels, cracks and does not provide transparency as it should, etc.
      With quality protection, this headlight will last over 5 years, and that's about it

      @@Amddetailing incorrect mate. It will need sealed & sprayed with a proper 2k poly carbonate clearcoat professionally applied with a proper bodyshop spray gun . Not a rattle can job . No polished headlights even with ceramic coatings applied after lasts no where near 5 years when the original top coat is removed with sanding / machine polishing work . That’s a fact as I’ve seen it many times over the years .

    • @Amddetailing
      @Amddetailing  5 месяцев назад +5

      even factory headlights do not last longer than 5 years because the plastic is recycled and has no strength (this Audi is from 2017), with ceramics it will last 2 years, and with high-quality PPF foil it will last until the headlight breaks in an accident, I give a guarantee of over 10 years .
      That's what was said in the video.
      And I looked at those varnished headlights with well-known spray brands and I can tell you that it's all fog sales.

      1. What the customer came for was done and he doesn't have to buy other headlights to be able to drive
      2. Those who follow my channel and other videos have been told a lot in the previous videos how many revolutions to start with and when they should be changed, and those who understand can judge by the sound what speed it is working at
      3. and that the front light has been renewed and looks and will look like a new headlight for a long time.

      He literally says you can protect it with ceramic or ppf after the last polish. A lot of professionals do it that way and it lasts a long time.
