As long as you don't burn through the lens just be patient, perfection takes time bro..

You shouldn't use a tack cloth on clear coat. If the clear is dry enough for the tack cloth to not stick, then you waited too long for the next coat. The clear should be slightly tacky but not stringy before adding the next coat. If it's completely cured, it should be sanded before applying another coat. Hope this helps someone
@@modernvehiclecare what brand clear coat did you use? Was it the same can you used on the light coat and heavy coat? Meguairs headlamp protectant ruined my brand new headlights last year, so I'm going to eventually have to do this. I definitely don't recommend Meguairs headlight sealant on new headlights, though they say it's good to protect them. Bad mistake.
@@Continus yes I agree, they are rectangular and circular too but 2D if you know what I mean. Modern streamlined shapes are difficult to make in glass and would be too expensive
I managed a mechanic and bodyshop for about 20 years. Glass headlights are the best. Since about 1999-2000 most headlights are plastic cheaper in cost to produce. Once they turn yellow and oxidized (cataracted) people to repair them by buffing or sanding so on. They’res limitations on how long it will last. 3 months 6 months 1 year..? Or cost of time on disassembly and reassembly and materials it wouldn’t hurt to get a price on a aftermarket if available. It’s what the individual can afford. Cars are not cheap. Good luck.
We have an Alfa 159 with glass headlight body. I was broken by a rock once, otherwise a pretty simple and straightforward design. Not sure about the production cost, but retail price is comparable to a plastic one.
@@omarti2000 if sanding doesn’t workout or material grade cost too much it wouldn’t be a bad idea to replace it. The good brand shop grade materials can be pricey.
Since 99? Ummm but your totally right. Plastic is too hard for clear to stick to. At least try an aerosol adhesion promotor! He's just making the problem worse by using really fine paper on it. It's one of things sometimes you gotta do but you can't charge for it or warranty. I don't see why he just didn't polish it and get it outta there. Used every grit in the shop plus ties up a stall for an hour or more for a freeby. Woulda been a lot faster to do this before the headlight was put back in. Plus no over spray.

You're not. Better to do 1000,1500,3000, then finish with some cutting compound, polishing compound then PPF. When PPF turns yellow peel off then reapply. Lasts a hella of a lot longer that this lol. Did my headlights in 2017 and still clear and the same UV resistant PPF is not yellowing yet.
The only right (economic) way to renew a lamp. However, you should still polish it because there will always be a structure, even if it is not visible to the naked eye.
Next summer when the sun strikes again the head lights will turn yellowish, it's far better having little scratches over than remove the UV coat of the plastic 💀

Still weird never done that actually 😂 and got same result. You can tack or not depending on the weather and how quick ur are. Also never seen a whole car get tacked before finish coat 😂
That's a TON of sanding for headlights that were already quite clear to begin with...could have just used 400 grit right on the scratch, 1000 grit on that, then 2000 wet or 3000 dry on that, then a polishing pad and some polish and saved a lot of time and money. The clearcoat isn't needed just for scratch repair if you regularly wax the headlights just as you should for the paint.
You mean the tack cloth? It is first used to remove any dust before applying clearcoat. After the first coat dries, you tack again before applying 2nd coat of clear. This is incase any dust got on the headlight inbetween coats
@@Sovrakhanah I think hes referring to the beginning of the video... the headlight assembly is off the car when hes sanding it down but then when he sprays the clear coat the headlights are back on the vehicle. If I had to guess as to why I think maybe its easier to mask stuff he doesnt want sprayed when theyre on the vehicle? That or maybe he's more comfortable/used to spray headlights when theyre on the vehicle
@@mux3044 oh, derp, LOL. I did not notice that at first 🤣 yeah that makes sense. Could also be that maybe he didn’t want to risk damaging the brand new clear coat when reassembling. Probably easier to spray it while it’s installed and just remove the drop sheets after
Take it out in the beginging so he doesn't scratch the paint of the car while sanding. Put it in before you spray, so you don't accidently scratch it when reinstalling.
If y’all do this make sure you are using a polisher and not a normal sander, the sander will melt the plastic if you sand in the same place like he in the video did but if you use a polisher that is made to go slower and not generate heat then you’re all set 🙏🏼👍🏼
@@dokesz530 when you apply it, it takes too long to dry. When it starts fading remowing is totally crazy. There is a video about quality etc on youtube. The guys explains it oerfectly
Never tack clear coat. Also the proper way to do this repair is with compound and polish. Clear coat isn't designed to stick to plastic. It will look good for a while but it will begin peeling in the future.
What about the debris from the air when spraying outside? I know you are using talk cloth after the first coat but when you apply the heavy coat still somethings can land on the wet paint. Or should i just do it and stop thinking about it?
It’s pretty rare that something lands on it honestly. Just make sure to do it in a clean area outside. The 2k dries and loses tackiness super fast so debris won’t have much time to land on it
So sand the headlight out of the car. Then install it and mask everything off to paint it? Don't paint it off the car and install after painting? Any benefits of doing it this way?
Why is everyone trying to tell this guy that he's gotta do it a different way to achieve the same results he got doing it his way? There's more than one way to do things

Warning for the folks at home, if you don't have a good technique with the spray can, DON'T EVEN TRY. Let a professional handle this, because cleaning up the mess will get exponentially harder
That puppy was clear though, I think everyone missed the point of repairing the scratch and started arguing about how clear it is, it was clear before, he was repairing a scratch.

сточить защитный слой и закрасить лоховским лаком из балончика.....гениально. я тебе секрет открою, даже профессиональный двухкомпонентный лак не защищает фару так, как обычная бронепленка.
Better polish them instead of spraying them if you live in an area where the sun destroys the lights!Otherwise you would need to do all that procedure again when that clear coat starts pealing off,becomes brittle!
How many hours did you spend on this fix? Obviously, this isn’t something anyone picks up and gets right the first time, so it should be professionally done.

Still weird never done that actually 😂 and got same result. You can tack or not depending on the weather and how quick ur are. Also never seen a whole car get tacked before finish coat 😂
@@puertoreekinn9721 thx mate. But how long you have to wait after the first thin layer of clear coat, before tack?
by sanding it you remove the uv protection on them they will turn yellow in a couple years
Omg
That's a TON of sanding for headlights that were already quite clear to begin with...could have just used 400 grit right on the scratch, 1000 grit on that, then 2000 wet or 3000 dry on that, then a polishing pad and some polish and saved a lot of time and money. The clearcoat isn't needed just for scratch repair if you regularly wax the headlights just as you should for the paint.
Nice! What make/model rotary tool is that?
it’s a flex pxe80. I have one that I haven’t even used since I bought it. Now I know what else I can use it for other than polishing.
Интересует тот же вопрос, что за инструмент.
Надо было снять фару и нормально сделать ❤
Is there a reason you put it back on the car to spray?
You mean the tack cloth?
It is first used to remove any dust before applying clearcoat. After the first coat dries, you tack again before applying 2nd coat of clear. This is incase any dust got on the headlight inbetween coats
@@Sovrakhanah I think hes referring to the beginning of the video... the headlight assembly is off the car when hes sanding it down but then when he sprays the clear coat the headlights are back on the vehicle. If I had to guess as to why I think maybe its easier to mask stuff he doesnt want sprayed when theyre on the vehicle? That or maybe he's more comfortable/used to spray headlights when theyre on the vehicle
@@mux3044 oh, derp, LOL. I did not notice that at first 🤣 yeah that makes sense. Could also be that maybe he didn’t want to risk damaging the brand new clear coat when reassembling. Probably easier to spray it while it’s installed and just remove the drop sheets after
Take it out in the beginging so he doesn't scratch the paint of the car while sanding. Put it in before you spray, so you don't accidently scratch it when reinstalling.
В финалочке без лака можно было просто пройтись кипящим ацетоном😊
А у вас там лак в балоне 2к можно достать?) 😮 не везде попадается😮
I love the part where I got to see the final result just for half a second 😂
Algorithm things 😂
For all of that hassle, I would just rather buy a brand new one…😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah sure if you wanna pay at least 6500 dollars for new ones!!
А что мешало покрасить когда фара была снята?
это что бы заеб..ться
Это видать разные фары😂
Pe langa faptu ca ceea ce face el este doar pentru vanzare ... si apoi prostu alearga de doua ori mai mult... avea faru jos ..😅
So now question do headlights have clear coat on them from factory
Nope
Yes they do. It only lasts 4 years.
They have a protective coating yes
Of course
That's why they fade and turn yellow over time
"Oh damn you got a lil scuff, LEMME SCRAP IT ALL!" Lol food stuff mate it came out great!
If y’all do this make sure you are using a polisher and not a normal sander, the sander will melt the plastic if you sand in the same place like he in the video did but if you use a polisher that is made to go slower and not generate heat then you’re all set 🙏🏼👍🏼
As a non-native speaker, what does he do on the 'tack' part?
tackrag, it's a resiny loose cloth
Wipe with a tack cloth to pick up any dust
@@modernvehiclecare cheers brother
Audi ❤
Dzisiaj audi to złom 😂😂😂
How long does it stay like this?
Few years but 2k clear coat is not the best option
@@ogukarakustell me why? Polishing is worst.
@@dokesz530 i wrote 2k is worst
@@ogukarakus how can 2k be worst?
@@dokesz530 when you apply it, it takes too long to dry. When it starts fading remowing is totally crazy. There is a video about quality etc on youtube. The guys explains it oerfectly

What is "tack"?
What is tack ? İs it oilcloth possible
It's called a tack rag or tac cloth , it's a rag that is kinda sticky and it picks up and traps dust and small debris
Its called a tack rag or tac cloth, its a small rag that is slighty sticky and it picks up and traps dust and small debris
Great job done here.
this helped :) thanks
You’re welcome!
Glass is best and Fully recyclable,
You can get 1960’s seal Beams and they’re still as good as new.
It was the best
@@modernvehiclecare still is
A Seal Beam will light up a Street even after been powered off for 30 Years
Never tack clear coat. Also the proper way to do this repair is with compound and polish. Clear coat isn't designed to stick to plastic. It will look good for a while but it will begin peeling in the future.
Can You tell me what is the bame of that polishing machine? Good job
Flex pxe 80, thanks!
Them headlights gonna be brighter than my future
🤣
フロントライトが綺麗だとクルマ🚗が凛々しくなりますよね😊
Yes!
Looks great but how many hours of work???
Thanks, about 2 hrs
How many work hours and supplies did it eventually end up costing you? Buying a new assembly would have been around the same.
Вы наверное правы, но есть один нюанс. Такое восстановление наверняка прослужит дольше чем новый китайский ширпотреб
$30 and 2 hours vs $1300 for a used one or $4500 for a new one
What about the debris from the air when spraying outside? I know you are using talk cloth after the first coat but when you apply the heavy coat still somethings can land on the wet paint. Or should i just do it and stop thinking about it?
It’s pretty rare that something lands on it honestly. Just make sure to do it in a clean area outside. The 2k dries and loses tackiness super fast so debris won’t have much time to land on it
@@modernvehiclecare so it looks im gonna try to restore my headlights 🤣
So sand the headlight out of the car. Then install it and mask everything off to paint it? Don't paint it off the car and install after painting? Any benefits of doing it this way?
I wouldn’t do it any other way lol the headlights need to dry while on the car for me to leave the work site
@@modernvehiclecare oh I see. Makes sense 🫡 thanks brother
I like to watch people who know what they’re doing.
Why is everyone trying to tell this guy that he's gotta do it a different way to achieve the same results he got doing it his way? There's more than one way to do things
Beats me bro 😂😂
What type of towel did you guys used? Was it a microfiber towel?
У меня на лобовом царапины от дворников. Нужно полировать только возле царапин, или всё стекло? Есть ли какое то жидкое стекло, что бы залить в глубокие царапины и потом заполировать, чтобы в глубину не уходить?
Не пишите про замену стекла, потому что на стекле год выпуска стоит и когда все стекла одного года это хорошо! 😊
Tell me bro, I used low-quality varnish and I got a bad coating, can I sand everything again and make it like yours?
Of course you can bro. 400 grit should be able to remove whatever you applied. Then work your way up with sanding and spray again with 2K
If there's one scratch, just scratch the whole thing to blend it in
Warning for the folks at home, if you don't have a good technique with the spray can, DON'T EVEN TRY. Let a professional handle this, because cleaning up the mess will get exponentially harder
Dude just saved himself 150 bucks
Saved $4350 but yea 😂

May i know or get a link of what machine you used with the mini sanding discs
I like you, specialist from the USA, I like you from Ukraine as a polishing master from a detailing studio😄😅
Thank you!
You did wonders brother, now you have to work on the other headlight to make it equal condition 😅🤌
Haha thanks bro I did end up doing both 😂
That puppy was clear though, I think everyone missed the point of repairing the scratch and started arguing about how clear it is, it was clear before, he was repairing a scratch.
Не делайте так. Нужно ОТПОЛИРОВАТЬ в конце до зеркального блеска. Потом обезжирить и нанести лак с UV защитой. То что на видео, даст размытый световой контур.
No orange peel when you warm the can lol
Mechanic: Sir your engine has a small coolant leak from a heater hose.
Customer: Ok replace the engine!
If it’s the head gasket you might have to replace it 😂
Ive been meaning to buy tack cloth…any good recommendations?
Now welcome to UV rays...
Jak ktoś chce zepsuć lampy to dobry sposób. Papier o gradacji 180 to zabojstwo dla reflektora. A na mokro ostatni papier to 3000 a minimum to 2000. No i jak juz lakieruje to nie z puszki tylko pistoletem.
180-220 is common for removing oem uv coatings lol
Never seen someone clear coat headlights before this is new😂😂😂😂😂
Can confirm this method works!
I do this to my eyes!
I don't like the s1 that much but I saw some people comparing the s1 with the RE GT and RE INT on instagram :) Like the level of insecurity in the Indian biking community, well, barely a community is just next level!
Very interesting... actually pretty old advice!
I've done this approximately 15 years ago on my Skoda Fabia 1..and by the way - just with 2 sandpapers 200 and 800 and a liquid glance - lack.
....and yeah - you can invest in it 500$ if you want )
сточить защитный слой и закрасить лоховским лаком из балончика.....гениально. я тебе секрет открою, даже профессиональный двухкомпонентный лак не защищает фару так, как обычная бронепленка.
That was done perfectly
Hey man, what's the name of the spray you use? Sorry.
Yup! Works great through 2 summers here in southern NV!
Nice we usually get around 3-6 summers here in CT
Better polish them instead of spraying them if you live in an area where the sun destroys the lights!Otherwise you would need to do all that procedure again when that clear coat starts pealing off,becomes brittle!
How many hours did you spend on this fix? Obviously, this isn’t something anyone picks up and gets right the first time, so it should be professionally done.
Всё, писец стеклу!!!
Меньше чем через год из-за агрессии этой химии поликарбонат начнет трескаться в своей толщине и вот это будет уже не исправить.
Надо было шлифануть, отполировать до блеска и покрыть полиуретаной защитной плёнкой. Нет вреда для стекла, легкая замена, и очень продолжительный срок службы.
In germany we say, stillgelegt. I think this is beautyful
Em 2011 adquiri uma motocicleta que tinha arranhões e uma pintura fumê nas bordas do farol original, lixa 400, 600, 1200, 1500 e massa de polir… fazem 13 anos e o farol está perfeito! Não entendo pq aplicam verniz ao invés de simplesmente fazerem um polimento completo!
Awesome, you get to do it again next year

You had me right up till the 2K.
Wow I screwed mine up. Can I use a rag instead of tack cloth?
No I recommend a tack cloth specifically
