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!
Man, i absolutely love your content. Quick, well explained, real world results. i learned so much about paint correction. II would be more then happy to enroll to your online courses. if you decide to go through with it please provide me with the details. Thank you :)
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!
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
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 .
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.
@@Amddetailing that’s garbage talk it’s fog sales if maybe a rattle can job was applied with poor prep but a pro 2k proper clearcoat sprayed in bodyshop lasts & that’s fact. Headlights that only last 5 years from new is usually low quality jap cars with trash low quality plastics & non uv resistant clearcoat used on them . Anyone knows with a brain cell knows that wet sanding & polishing is only a temporary job .. don’t let anyone tell u different 😉
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
Hola, soy de colombia mi nombre es jeison, te hago una pregunta en qué grano de lija borras la cola, yo restauro plásticos de motos y se me hace difícil borrar la cola que deja lijadora, también utilizo lijas Kovax, ojalá me puedas responder
@@Amddetailing it means that if you indicate to use a k1500 I can use my p1500. they should be very similar. and the next purchase should have the acronym k and not p
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.
@Microstrategyliveus_2023 All you did was remove the clear coat. If you didn't tell them it's going to last less than a year in the elements you are wrong. Hack work, reclear or pass the job to somebody who knows what they're doing, instead of selling people snake oil

thanks for watching and support, I'm glad you managed to solve your problems.
From what I heard, it happen from the washer fluid. cheap gas station washer fluid can case it over time.
Con lijar, pulir y cada 3 meses usar sellador se puede mantener la óptica perfectamente de por vida!
For the last step try use a waffle sponge. See if it gives a better finish.
💯💯💯💪
Tnx my friend
great video
tnx
Ottimo lavoro fratello, SEI troppo bravo nel tuo mestiere, Complimenti TOP TOP TOP
Tnx my friend and enjoy
Yo uso un sellador de polimero líquido para la protección, dura 8 meses!
Bravo doktore 👍
hvala
Great video once again. What do you think about vapor polishing headlight vs the classical method? Is it good?
Vapor cracks headlights and doesn't last long. Polish/Lacquer and apply transparent wrap for best protection
Without water. You clearly are a pro
that with the dry sanding system with Kovax papers there is no need for water
@@Amddetailing kovax is a specific paper or standard ?

Yes, I was planning to hold something like that, but it's in the works
@@Amddetailing im super glad to hear! Count me in!

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!
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

Excellent job.

(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
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
Great results, what is the speed with the rotary combined with 0 compound
speed minimum
How long did it take you to do the whole process on both headlights?
5 hours

Where Can i buy Kovax Sand Paper… u cant find them on Usa… im from Vzla and need to import from there… Can u help me ?
Contackt @kovaxjapan
May I know how much a k1500 and k2000 is equivalent to compared to a sandpaper with the abbreviation P?🙏🏽
The K mark is much more precise for the given paper granulation
@@Amddetailing it means that if you indicate to use a k1500 I can use my p1500. they should be very similar. and the next purchase should have the acronym k and not p
I’m thinking a 1 hr online class should be bout $3 US brah 👍
no, that's too little
@@Amddetailing well, you asked brah 🤷
Why dont you add the products used in the description so people buy them and you make more money
How were you able to hire Casey Kasem to narrate & act like he did the work brah? 😐
You didn't restore the headlight you just removed the clear coat. You didn't even say what RPM you were running your machine
600-1000 rpm
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

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.
