    Wow. And to think there are peeps out there sanding their headlights in multiple stages and using spray clear coat to get the same results you just did with only rubbing compound and spray wax.
    Good job bro. I’m gonna try what you just did.

      The clear coat ought to give a much longer protection than wax. But then you have to worry about overspray

      Sanding and clearing lasts about 1-2years. Without that youll be lucky to get 6 months without going back to yellow

    Instead of wax, use a ceramic sealant like Turtle Wax Hybrid spray. Can be used on all surfaces, has UV protection, and lasts 6+ months.

    I did the same with Maguires liquid compound. Add clear tire spray ( like armour all) to bring the clear out.

    Nice! I bought a container from Walmart for $2.67 and it cleared both my headlights right up in about ten minutes.

    I use this after wet sanding and before clear coat. It replaces the polishing compound for me. It’s a permanent fix if you do all the steps.

    Heavy rubbing compound + polishing compound + wax= best result.

      they said above no wax, use a uv hybrid spray, the way will heat up and yellow hue will come out

    Yep I used the same Turtle Wax rubbing compound and a old sock because I had some already in my garage and it worked great. After rubbing it out I finished it with some Nufinish.

    @dainorele15 3 года назад +1

    one time I messed up and my headlights became almost solid white. I then got a idea to use car polish on them. It's only for metal and painted surfaces but I gave it a shot since I'll be buying new ones at the end of this year. and damn my headlights now look like they're brand new.

    Instead of wax, I would use the headlight protectant spray by meguiars. Its basically wax but it seems to last year long and can last longer if you respray once every year.

      Polish shines it more and seals microscopic imperfections and helps it to shed water, snow, ice, and road contaminates
