Thanks Bro. This is cool. I’ve got a 94” Dodge Pickup beater aka “Rusty” and I’ve gotta get the headlights right again. Do you have any videos in DIY taking off heavy rust from paint without tools? My buddy said wet sanding as well?

Wow you've completely restored the headlights. It's a very attractive product. I should practice with the video's products as a person who is doing the details.

Hey! If they do start t fail again, simply use Head Light Restorer by hand. Also, we recommend applying Jetseal, it creates a strong shield against water spots, contamination, road grime, and UV sunlight. Innovative UV protection technology helps reject harmful solar rays and protect headlights against fading and discoloration.

I really prefer the bars. When they get contaminated on the surface, you just twist and knead them like silly putty and they can be used again and again and again. And since you only use a small hunk at a time, one bar will last you a LONG time. A clay mitt is good for a few uses, then you have to toss it. Much more expensive over time.

Headlight plastic is sensitive to harsh UV rays, which fade the plastic, turning it hazy and opaque. Simply rub the refined cream formula into the faded headlight plastic with a microfiber towel until it turns clear. Micro-abrasives blended into the formula peel back layers of dead plastic that block light and dull the clarity of the headlamp, revealing crystal-clear plastic underneath. www.chemicalguys.com/headlight-lens-restorer-and-protectant/headlight-lens-restorer-protectant.html
