Was getting a little lonely on here brother, happy to see you back!
Many thanks for all your videos, I'm a 72 year old with a 20 year old Ford Galaxy (I'm in the UK by the way), original headlights never been touched so you can imagine. Followed your teachings and had a go myself, worked out fantastic, they look like new. You ARE the god of headlight restoration. :)
Love the intro
Great work my friend. glad to see you posting again!
Nice to have you back HRP.....Super glad that it is you are so busy and not some other awful reason you have been away. You are a true entrepreneur and using your skills to the max.
This is the video I was looking for! PERFECT! I always wanted a true honest video showing Meguiar's after a few years. I knew it wasn't forever so this gives me a good idea of what to expect. Big thanks!
The master is back 🎉 the best
Good to see you’re back missed your videos
WELL WELL WELL good to see ya back. That would be cool to follow ya around and do lights with ya and learn more. I take care of my mom though and do lights as a side gig. It's artwork to me. I love it. Clear Lights here, see ya.
Welcome back 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Always great info!! I am trying to start my own business in head light restoration. God bless you.
Welcome back bro! Good stuff man🔥
Always learning, thanks a ton!..question, anyone have experience with "taping" up a car that's been "wrapped"?. any issue with the green auto protection tape on a car with that wrap material?
The truth is back !!
I just did the headlights on my wife's car using your exact method and they came out perfect! Thank you so much for showing us your secrets. What should be done to keep them looking good for longer? I saw your aftercare video where you polished them with just the chemical guys headlight polish, my question is do you recommend a coating of wax or any other uv protector after polishing them with the chemical guys?
He's got a video where he recommends waxes or other methods
@@410bigblock ok I'll have to look again, I must've missed it
Nice videos keep it up!
I wonder in this video, You used p500 then p800, p3000, polishing compound. Spray coat.
I wonder if could use the plasticX as the compound before coating?
And in the spraycoat package from meguiars includes a cleaner solution, in what step should be proper to use it because i see the pads that follow are quite abrasive. Or do you think that with your method there are no use of the cleaner solution because the oxidation are anyways removed by polishing in the first steps.
Im attempting this myself because to many scammers and there are no one like you in sweden 😅. Thanks in advance!
How long would it take for the spray coating to dry if you don’t have access to fans blowing on them like you do? Can you do it without the fans? I understand the fans just speed up the drying process. Thanks in advance! Great video as always!
After using this method for over a year in many conditions (hot/sunny, gloomy/cool, evening/moisture), its best with dead summer heat, or air drying for about 10 minutes outside with little to no moisture. Any moisture while curing, or spraying them at night makes it hard for it to harden and can harden with moisture spots into the coating and needs them to be redone. If you can, wipe dry the following morning and coat them as the sun comes out.
He is back! Like the intro Andrew Tate in the house!
I was wondering what has happened thank God your back i have learned a lot with your videos and I have already done about 15 cars and the results from my clients are pure satisfaction thanks to your videos.
Welcome back! Was wondering 🤔 how do you know when your Trizact pad is done and need a new one?
Cheers! 🍻
Have you tried using the spray max 2k headlight clear
You really should consider switching to spraymax 2k 2 in 1 headlight clear...maquiers does not last that long...and I'm not talking about the regular 2k clear it's a headlight specific
Hi, I was just wondering about the headlight coating at the end . Do you need to mask up more of the car to stop it from getting on paint work ? Never used it before don't want to damage my paint ?
could you show how its done all by hand(no power tools) with the new method? id like to see the body work videos too. TY
Hey welcome back.. how’s it going..
Just wondering what you think about adding a protective film like Xpel to the headlights after restore?
Thank you for your videos but I have a question, Why would one headlight come out foggy Nd one fine?
I admire your work. How long does this service last?
Soo purdy 💎
Quick question. What is the type of product you are using for that final buff/polish before you wipe with the microfiber cloth??? I just ordered all the other stuff, but wasn't sure about the compound used before the Meguire's.
How do you protect your spray during the wind? and what if the rain is incoming?
Hello sir,you may have explained this in one of your videos but can I ask the reason why you don’t use your polisher to do the sanding ,Id love you to do my head lights but I’m in the uk
I think I over worked the Trizact discs on the 2nd Honda I'm doing. I ordered a box today. I can't quite get the 2nd car lights as clear as the first car.
Hey brother, good to see another great video! I have a question, a customer asked me to do his tail lights next week and I was just going to do it exactly like I do the headlights, using your method, is that how you would do them? They're just a solid red light on a 2003 GMC Sierra....
You can, but tail lights are a little bit different than the front. For tail lights, any rubbing compound and polish will do the trick with a polisher.
You don't need that Meguiars spray BS because tail lights are Acrylic not Polycarbonate like headlights, so they never change color. And don't be so sold on everything he says and does, because 2 years of experience does not make one an expert, but he thinks he is.
@karkule5919 Just so you know, I've been doing headlight restorations for about 15 years, but just recently started doing them using his method, I used to do them using a wet sand method, using a wipe on clearcoat, the headlights would look good, sometimes great but not always consistent. Ever since I started using his method, they are consistently amazing! When I first started watching his videos, I would kind of think the same thing, that he doesn't know everything, but I decided to try it, and it's always perfect. Why disrespect someone who is only trying to help you?! I don't understand people who do shit like that! If you don't like his videos or how cocky and confident he is, then stop watching! Maybe you should do your own videos since you seem to "think" you know everything! You're probably one of those 2K clear guys haha butthurt....
@@chrissanchez6610 First of all it’s just my opinion based on HIS videos. And I guess you don’t notice how foggy many of his jobs are and even RUclipsrs ask him how come, and he blames the plastic, and some people know why, so figure that out. And secondly, after 15 years of doing this, if you could not find a method that gave you great and consistent results until you found his videos, then people should not hire you. To be fair, he does have some really good points and tips, and I have to give him credit for those.
Can i spray the coating on a paper pad and rub it on?
Can you buff after clear coat cures? Kids came home forgot to buff or can you add more clear coat, not sure if I put enough clear on or because I didn't buff..it's like 95% clear
What do you do or say to a customer when the headlight doesn’t come out completely crystal clear , not due to you but because of what’s going on with either the backside of the lens or hazy spots ? I’ve had this happen couple of times now with a 2015 rav4 that looked like it had a leak then stained the inside and I had a 2008 Honda that had only what I can say was burned hazy spots infront of the bulb. But both situations I couldn’t see it till I was done.
If I have blacked out headlights can I use the same method? They’re morimoto XB’s that have become dull over the years
If I were to send you my headlights on my 2015 Hyundai Equus is that something that you'll be able to do
Was there a difference in your method three years ago to now? Should the headlights last longer is three years about the life of the Meguiars
^This!
That's exactly why I install clear PPF from X-pel after all my restorations. It easily lasts 8+ years with proper maintenance.
How many people keep a car for 8 years…
@@karkule5919 More than you might expect.
@@contagiousingenuityagency5273 Majority that keep a car that long it’s because that’s all they can afford, so they don’t care enough to pay $100 on headlights, when they can buy a kit for less than $10 and do it themselves.
More than usual due to prices now a days!@@karkule5919
Hey what about tail lights
What's a good wax after the Meguiar's coating?
Got a question for you. I'm doing, to the best of my abilities, everything exactly as you are. When I spray the Maguire's headlight spray on, it looks like a bunch of orange peel. Any advice? Thanks
I had the same problem. I wasn't spraying it on heavy enough. Watch several videos carefully how he sprays. It's a work of art how he does it. I also started holding the fan up to them like he does, I think it helps smooth it out.
@Antoniocool86 I was thinking about doing a final wipe with alcohol, let it evaporate and then spray. But I'm not sure.
@@scotthewins5341 I wouldn't stray from the way he shows in the video. It really is the best way. I did my 99 civic first for practice then I did my 07 Dakota for more practice and they came out ok. I had a slight orange peel on my truck and I figured that I just didn't spray enough but I was worried about runs and over spray. When I did my wife's 16 legacy that we bought new I wanted to get it as perfect as possible so I just watched a few of his videos and I figured that I wasn't spraying enough of the clear coat. I also didn't use a fan like he does so I did that too on my wife's car. He also says to warm the can of spray so I did that too. Really just do exactly what he does. And don't double coat, he has a video explaining why not.
Looks like i won't be able to figure out how to do these lights. I got lucky on my 1st car but I've tried 8 times on the 2nd car on 1 light and its not working.
Do you have an Instagram HRP?
You can buy headlight restoration kits for under $15 that give you amazing results that are not hazy or cloudy, wake up people.
And some people want to pay someone to do the work for them and not take the risk of screwing up. Lots of people have $$$ but no basic handy skills, you'd be surprised.
@@NAVAK77 Skill is one thing, but I'm talking about value. Tell me how this job is worth the $100 and UP, that these characters are charging. No wonder so many of them are crying that they can't get any jobs. And look how many WOMEN buy the kit and do it themselves and post the videos, are you telling me they have skills...?? If anyone can do it, IT IS NOT A SKILL.

Because the polisher is 12000 rpm, the drill he uses for sanding is like 3000-6000 rpm

Looking for all the help I can get,what is better than his drill,cheers
@@karkule5919hi I was thinking a smaller drill the size of his polisher would be easier to control
Thanks for your information I really appreciate it
@@karkule5919thanks again , I have a jag xkr and the lights have white patches and little hair line cracks in the coating, I have never done a set of lights before but am well used to drilling and sanding and I’ve got hold of an old set of lights to practice on,so wish me luck and thanks for your help
The polisher is too high RPM for sanding, you would literally melt the plastic and destroy the sanding disc. Use a drill with 1200- 4000 rpm only when sanding, and a drill doesn't have enough speed to polish. Just get both, you won't be sorry. Oh and Milwaukee makes a dang good high speed mini polisher just like the Delco, but having the same batteries is way better than having two different brands
