Been there, doesn't last at all without UV coating. For mild cases, suggest single step easy and quick product and do it as frequently as necessary. Not perfect, but results are surprisingly good.

This is hard work! I put my car polisher over my 2003 Vauxhall Astra headlights using light pressure and small amounts of T-Cut. 5 -10 minutes for each. Three years between polishes, second time, only light polish needed. Job Done!

This was a lot more work and cost than needed. Plus as others have said, they will fog right back over... **UNLESS** you use something like Meguiar's Headlight Coating. I've used it, it works pretty good and looks great. It does need to be reapplied about once a year to keep them perfectly clear. But for reapplication its just a simple cleaning using something like glass window cleaner _(or whatever the bottle recommends)_ , then respray the coating. It comes in a spray can.

I've been using Meguiar's marine products for decades and have always had great results. Agree also this has got to be the most laborious, time consuming and expensive way I've ever heard for cleaning headlights. I use a metal polish called 'Peek' and a couple good rags and get excellent results in an ACTUAL five minutes.

@@davewebster1627 nah, but the right kind of rubbing compound might help you clean it. the Meguiar's this guy is talking about is really good stuff .we are working on a video to put on my channel showing the step by step way the pro's do it it's really a simple prosses and you will be proud of the end results

Big difference... After spending that much time, might as well put some clear coat on it to give it protection. Maybe not on this headlight that is pretty much trash, but this way can buy you time till you can save some $$$ and buy a set of new headlights. Great job! Thanks.

This is a good way to have clear headlights for about a month. They will just oxidize again without a sealer on top.

Couldn't tell what some of the products are on my phone. Where does one get the super fine sandpapers? I've never seen them in stores. Can they be used with a drill like one of the products was? What about a coating? I may just buy a Sylvania kit.

I did something like this to the left headlight that was a little foggier than the other right one. Turns out I had to do the right one as well because it made the left one look better.

Ive heard after all that work, they fog up a year later anyway. But after your done with all this, your supposed to use some sorta clear wrap to keep the suns ultraviolet rays and grease and grime from affecting/fogging them again

I like this ! I will put clear coat on after I am finished !

Nice job, I've tried them all lol

With all that work and all those graduating grits of sandpaper...I would certainly expect it to turn out well. I was wondering it you were going to spray something on it to keep it from fading again.

Wow- and you had a power tool, all this time? As other's mentioned,without a UV clear-coating... depending on sunlight exposure, 6-8 months before needing another light polishing.

cheap rubbing compound and a good waxing works fast/easy and last a while. My lamps are 22 years old and still look good.

Good solid job I did our old Mk6 fiesta. Looks so much better.

I never knew spending the whole afternoon cleaning one headlight could be so much fun. Good thing it's a long weekend. Thanks.

This is one of the longest methods I have ever seen to restore a headlights. I got good results with mothers, aluminum and wheel polish not perfect but I’ve been watching this video and I don’t see too much progress going on there.

Faster, cheaper, easier and less messy to use T-Cut and a paper towel, which also gives a better finish. Unless you apply a UV protective coating afterwards this will need doing every year (maybe more regularly depending upon how much sun you get).

I spent $75 and got new ones made in china. Gotta love that exchange rate. Took 15 minutes to replace them, that's cheap man-hours for what my time is worth. 10 years later they still look new, garage kept. I think the material they used in china was better than what the oem stuff was 10 years prior to that. Technology in material moved forward as well I am sure.

The left side clouded over so I started working on it, and the more I worked on it, the more clouded it got. The right side still looks good and I haven't done anything to it.

Wrong.... Just get a cheap headlight restore kit. Do exactly as instructions say. After complete. Wait 24hrs. Then hit your headlights with headlight COATING. DO NOT USE CLEAR COAT PAINT. That is the dumbest method out there. Alllllll clear coats will slowly yellow up within the year time. Headlight coating seals it for one to 3 years. Sometimes longer, if you keep your ride out of the sun. Even better if you have a garage. Remember folks, coating and painting are two entirely different nature's... ✌️

Il y en a certainement pour plus de 5 minutes à faire tout ça. J'ai compté 8 ou 9 opérations. A raison de 10 minutes en moyenne par opération, ça prend donc au total près d'une heure et demie.

Once your headlights are oxydized you can not keep them shiny ever again you have to keep doing it several times a year sealent will only stay on for so long believe me we run a detailing shop and do them many of times 4:36 4:36

No need to use soap at all

Faltou o verniz .senão com o tempo volta a ficar amarelo

Buy a tin of clearcoat . One light coat and one heavy coat . Done.

1) Thats the normal method, nothing "amazing" about it. 2) to do it right it takes a lot more than 5 minutes. 3) your headlight is still full of scratches. This will distort your light. Spend more time with the 1500, 2000 and do a 2 level polish. Also go easy on the 320. When I sand with the 1500 and higher, I run water over it constantly. If it's out like this one, put it in a deep sink and sand it with the faucet running slowly Lastly, put a sealer on it.

This is too involved. All you are doing is removing the damaged outer polymer. I've done this in seconds with packing tape. Toss it on and the weak polymer threads come off when you pull it. Clear as day one.

I need 30 minutes per lighthouse to achieve a more lasting result than this one! 30 minutes because I don't use a machine, just my hands.

Turtle wax polishing compound, then finish with rustoleum clear coat.

Nope. That's a way to redo the job every 2 months or so. The better way is to stop sanding at 600 and then to use a 2k clear varnish with uv protection in like 2-3 coats. Or you can also use clear film. These 2 ways will protect the headlights for like 3-4 years.
