Easily the best headlight restoration vid on KZread thanks for the vid..

Thats what i like about youre work man...you put in the effort and you get the results...simply amazing.

Amazing video! I recently had my headlights restored on my 09 C4S and the results were nowhere near as good. However, nor was the effort as great. My driver side headlight was considerably more compromised from an oxidation standpoint than the passenger and remains still slightly so, even if it is much improved. After viewing these incredible results, i just believe that I can definitely receive better results on the driver headlight from a more dedicated craftsman such as yourself. Thanks again for the eye opening results. With all due respect to the incredibly amazing clarity of those headlight lenses man, no pun intended! Lol! Thanks again my friend.

This channel deserves more subscribers. Love the vids man! Great work looking forward to more vids!!

I'm glad you could pick up something new! DLUX provides great UV protection!

Two quick questions about the headlight restoration: 1) How many uses (or headlights) do you get out of those Rupes cutting discs before you have to dispose of them? and 2) how do you control the spatter from wet sanding with a DA machine? Or did you not worry about it because you needed to detail the rest of the car anyways?

Great video, thank you. Many headlight restoration kits skip the polishing phase and apply clear to a P3000 keyed surface. Assuming this pertains just to clear coat applications and not DLUX? Does DLUX adhere well to the super polished surface? Thank you.

Enjoyed the video, & the rpm of this exact tool requires consistent movement, & speed 1 is optimal to avoid burn marking surface.

This is what I usually do. Although I get down to 400 grit to remove the scratch resistant coating on some makes. I use Koch Chemie H9 as my compound because m105 wasn’t producing clear enough results on even my 2nd or 3rd pass. I use 205 and a rupes wool polishing pad. I finish with Opi-lens.

I've worked on several 996's and all of these seem to get heavily 'cracked' and start yellowing after a couple of years. Depending on how good or how bad they are, you might be able to get them looking nice with just polishing. But most of the time the only way to restore them to perfect clarity is by sanding.

Very satisfied, i like it.

Hello! I am interested in getting this done for my car, but doesnt this sanding/polishing remove the UV coating?

@VermijlCarDetail

3 жыл бұрын

Hi! The UV coating was already failing, in order to get it perfect it needs to be sanded. I always apply a ceramic coating which will protect them from UV (which you can see at the end of the video). There are other options available such as PPF, but this will be a bit more expensive.

No need for UV protection? If the ceramic coating is with UV protection capability, it's life is 2 years right?

Probably a waste of clay bar in the beginning but in the end great job cus they look brand new and I could see you put some UV protection on it. Top notch 😁👍

@VermijlCarDetail

Thank you! It could probably do without the claying, but I decided to give them a quick clay because these were heavily contaminated. The less build up of junk in the sanding discs, the better 👍

@Tonestoneee

Жыл бұрын

Depends on what coating you are using, look up what your local dealers have. But somewhere between 10,000km-70,000km. If your car has Xenon headlights, it will be better to use a coating that's made for wheels. You can apply the ppf after polishing and then use a ceramic coating on top of the ppf for a better durability.

Do you think this also works on stone-chips? Got one thats like 0.5mm deep on the side of the light

I don’t see why not. I’ve seen body shops use 180 grit to sand down damaged headlights/taillights in order to remove scratches from car accidents. It’s just a lot more sanding steps 180, 320, 500, 800, 1000, wet 3000, compound, polish then protect

@@manrex5238 No problem mate ;) some headlights can have deeper scratches, if you see it's not working with that sandpaper just use another more aggressive. The important is that you always have to use another to refine, usually, it's double the number when it's more refined at the end, but in the beginning, you can start with 320 for example, then 480, 600, 800, 1000 or 1500, 2000, 3000, and then cutting pad and finishing with gloss pad.

You always start with P1500 paper? You dont start with p320 or p400 and then up? And how long the hole process took? AWASOME STUFF MAN! :)
