*This video presents an effective method that can be widely employed, rendering it highly advantageous. The utilization of commonplace household items in this method also makes it economically feasible, thus making it a viable option for most individuals. Additionally, the method has yielded promising outcomes, thereby further adding to its merit.*

The ONLY way to fix headlights is to remove the oxidized layer, smooth the surface with wet sand paper or buffing compound safe on plastic and THEN you MUST protect the plastic with a UV blocker. I had success with UV blocking clear coat spray paint.

What I found that works perfectly right out of the tube is Peek Multipurpose Cleaner. It works better than any kit or other recommended fixes I ever came across. No mixing, no hard abrasives, just a cloth and Peek and some elbow action. "Peek Multipurpose Cleaner: Peek polish has been a part of many households around the world for years, including Buckingham Palace! Peek Polish cleans, polishes and protects nearly all metals, including ceramics and fiberglass, plus it leaves an anti-oxidant protective barrier to keep your items shiny and clean for a longer period of time."

Headlight polishing is a hobby of mine and I do it for friends (I don't take money ). I think I can recognize headlights oxidized by the weather. This looks like an artfully applied layer of something. If you look closely you can see in some places how the yellow stuff had a tendency to run off. My advice is : don't experiment and buy some headlight polishing kit. Even the basic ones which are not expensive and have guaranteed results. This on the video is more of a pass/fail lottery.

Rubbing compound and a cheap buffer wheel won't cost a ton more and will get you much better results in a fraction of the time.

Baking soda is quicker, then rub with WD-40, then sell it

Or you could just use Maguires high cutting compound then a reg polishing compound. Then to protect it just use a polish that you use on your cars finish. There you go! I just use polishing pads and microfiber cloths. No buffer needed. But you can if you want? Might get better results. I have a 2003 Celica GT that sits out all the time.

@topcatandgang

6 ай бұрын

Maguires makes plastex, this is a mild abrasive that does a real goood job

When you manage to polish the surface of this type of material until it is crystal clear, it is mandatory to apply a transparent varnish with ultraviolet protection for plastics, this way the transparency will last at least 3 years. However, then you will have to use some type of sanding more aggressive than toothpaste.

bad math ah

Would polishing the lens with rubbing compound ends up with same result?

was waiting for him to remove the black tape to really see the difference between the panel that was tread vs. the untreated. I dont think the lime juice for the rubbing compound was necessary but have tried toothpaste before and some 2000 grit wet sanding paper and it worked. you just have to be real patient with scrubbing off the oxidized plastic then applying some kind of wax to protect from sun oxidation again.

Mothers aluminum polish works for me. Easy to do

Im gonna try my dremmel and sand paper or the metal stripper they have when i find my crap outa storage. Ive got a banged up car that needs 2 new headlights so i might as well practice on the one that I have on the car now. See which works best.

When finished polishing headlights, you can supersede the sealant and simply install a PPF over the lens. Stops UV fading and many rocks.

Thanks! I tried your WD40 today and it worked great!

we have 1999 dodge ram 1500 , and 2005 scion XB with foggy headlights will this work on them ?

This only works if all the UV damage is at the surface. More often than not, with older units, the UV damage goes the entire depth of the lens material, in which case there is no cleaning it. It doesn't hurt to try... but chances are, you might as well make friends with the idea that you'll have to purchase a new set of headlight units.

I simply wax my headlight lenses with a good grade of carnauba wax, such as Meguiar's, a couple times a year. Keeps the lenses from discoloring and protects against fine sand thrown up by cars in front of you. My 2002 SVT Focus lenses looked almost new when I sold the car in 2012!

This is really cool. BUT there is a kit you can buy that is the same amount as the ingredients you are using. Cool video. 😎

You know what else is that spong good for if you have a dark neck or dark pits or dark inner thighs scrub with the green side of the spong it'll scratch off all the dead skin cells that are making your areas look dark.

Might as well buy a headlight restore kit with the price of groceries nowadays

Nice job !!!

Superbbbb

You can get very similar results with Meguiars Mag and Aluminum metal polish or blue diamond brand metal polish from walmart and a microfiber cloth. Just buff it in with the microfiber cloth with two fingers with a few pounds of pressure in tiny circles for about two minutes and buff it out with the clean part of the rag. No light assembly removal required. Reapply every 6 months. If you have micro cracking from excessive heat from high power aftermarket bulbs it can not be repaired. Good day.

Excellent

Leaving the fact that they sell polishing foams……. If you don’t apply a protective product it will become opaque again soon!

Before you buy all these supplies and make a big mess, you should just buy a headlight restore kit. Comes with everything you need, makes far less of a mess and will actually leave a perfectly clear finish unlike these sub par results in the video. The kits also have a form of clear coat to apply after to keep the perfect finish for around a year. In those last shots it basically looks like someone ran a piece of harsh sandpaper over an otherwise decent looking headlight. If I brought my faded headlights to a shop and they gave them back to me looking like this I'd demand my money back.
