They're not educated about their craft and stuck in old old. Ways.... It's just common sense.... This is a very serious issue you really can't just use anything because it's clear if you want to be on the highest level like this, And it's just not safe if you really know.. this comes from when there way nothing else to use.... They need to step into the FUTURE....

Have you watched the Project Farm review of headlight restoration kits? He shows an up close of the Meguire's coating and how soft it is. Definitely doesn't seem like the best choice.

What polisher pad drill adapter are you using? I don't see it in your description. Also do you use the fan to flatten any drips or high spots? I ordered the stuff that you use and I did a practice run on my 99 Civic and they came out amazing.

@theheadlightrestorationpro

I use fans to air dry or forced air dry the lights as though these clear coats made for headlights and others dry their process called chemical exchange or air exchange kind of like super glue lights reacting with the moisture in the air.. That piece you're talking about is not really able to buy I rebuild them and they're cheap and they break there are far better ones listed on Amazon that's why I do not list It... It's a personal preference that isn't quite correct like somebody who would like to dig a pool with a shovel instead of a tractor...lol New video kzread.info/dash/bejne/fndovKSuYJWwiso.htmlsi=4TaerpCinQd6d0Iu

1. Will the McGuires coating bond to & cover 3000 grit scratches with NO polishing? 2. If I don't have liquid polish, can I polish with 5000 grit sandpaper and then coat? 3. What's too fine a grit to sand with before applying McGuire's?

Hey great job on the videos! Keep up the great work. I was curious why after you go with p800 with the drill then you go do it by hand? Just for the edges or is there more to it ?

It should explain more in depth with this video here.. But basically visually you can see swirling better and swirling shows up better even though there's minor chance if done right that there is swirling Left behind to see through the clear coat a straight line is almost invisible so therefore it's almost erasing any kind of swirling left behind...

I restored a set yesterday that had 2k clear. P500 wouldn't touch it. P320 barely touched it. Had to drop down to P220. Even then it was still difficult to remove. That stuff sucks.

Yeah and these uneducated morons keep using...lol It'll never stop ...

when the maguires headlight coating wears off (in a year or 2?) to re apply do you need to re sand all over again before spraying the new coat on?

@theheadlightrestorationpro

6 ай бұрын

Yes it's the best way... Headlight coatings expire it's best not trying to save them instead of eliminate them and reapply.. It's best just to start fresh.. The thing with Maguire's keep clear it's extremely easy to remove when sanding probably about the easiest which makes it a great product cuz when you go to remove it you're just removing it and reapplying it....

@@theheadlightrestorationpro thanks that makes sense. as a first timer I do have a noob question? is it safe for the head lights to be restored every year with proper sanding technique taking some top layers off, after 10 years will say will there still be plastic left? lol how thick are headlights and is there a maximum limit to how many times you can sand them down?

I just sprayed my headlights earlier tonight with 2K from Amazon

If that clearcoat did have hardeners what would be the lowest grit you would go down to. ?

3 years ago I 2k cleared headlights on my car and truck. They both came out perfect when they were done. But today let’s just say the ones on my car are 2x worse than the ones in this video 😂 the ones on my truck still look like the day I 2k cleared them but that’s to be expected since 99% of the time I keep it in a carport with the sun never hitting them.

Hell yeah 👍🏽

What a lot of people don't seem to realise is that most 2K (not just clearcoat), contain isocyanates which are 100% carcinogenic when breathed in. A normal mask will not suffice and a full positive pressure facemask is recommended. I have lost 2 colleagues back in the 80s when none of us knew the dangers. I am now a spray tutor and drill my apprentices of the dangers. Just sayin👍🏻

I let any and everyone know never to use 2K clear on headlights. I let them know it's for paint, not headlights. When they ask "what's the difference?, " I then ask them if they brush their teeth with a toilet brush, and ask them "what's the difference?"

Your an inspiration my friend. I've been watching your videos for some months now. I decided to have a go at my own headlights on my old 2005 Nissan Almera with 140,700 miles on the clock. They'd never been polished before so I followed your instructions and they came out looking absolutely amazing. My neighbour instantly asked me if I'd fitted new headlights to my car. Just goes to show how educational your videos are. Thank you very much for showing me how to do them. Best wishes. Jim from England. kzread.info/dash/bejne/naiFlo-rZLrSp9I.html
