I like Modern Vehicle Care's method much better. His lights look clearer at the end too. Yours still have a slight haze. Or maybe he just has a better camera.
Which polish compound did you use to fill in the poly lens before you apply the clear? Looks like it’s at the 8:42 time mark. Your description lists 3M hard lens cleaner and Chemical guys headlight restorer. I’m a bit confused as to which product was used specifically to fill in the micro scratches left behind by the sandpaper
Complete newbie question before I get started. If I was to start with 800, how do I know I should of started with 500?
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It feels good when you know you're the best and you can say that with 100% I salute you my brother I'm next in line I need to learn everything I can from you I was starting a new detailing business but I believe now I'm going to concentrate into restoration of Lights and I'll do some detailing here and there like you do but I want to be just as good as you
BRO I NEED YOUR HELP, is it bad if I start with 800rpm for my P500 grit and also use 800 rpm on my p800
I can tell you one thing for certain. If you park outside and use the Meguiars headlight coating then you'll be extremely lucky to get a year out of it before your headlights are worse than before. This stuff is honestly complete junk. The sun eats it up quickly and bugs will totally discolor it and it won't buff out. I've tried it all and the only long term method for a daily driven car that gets parked outside is a true automotive grade clear coat with hardener added. Sure, the Meguiars headlight coating looks great at first until the UV, bugs and road debris destroys it.
I know Mercedes Benz are 🤑🤑🤑
i saw one on ebay $1,666.00 and it said they sold 546..!!! insane crazy..!!! s.m.h
Is this Donald Trump doing headlight lense restoration? 😂
See wverything was going good until you said no one make headlight better than you
it says 1 year coating but me living in the uk we dont realy get much sun does that mean it will last longer than 1 year?
I learned that OFF spray ruins plastic and synthetic surfaces by spraying it on my sneakers a few times. I thought I was doing good to keep the bugs away but that stuff deteriorated the surfaces big time. The shoes got all sticky and attracted dust. I can only imagine what it does to headlight plastic.
0:18 is my favorite part in your intros, "PERFECT!" haha I love that little sound bite
What about new headlights? I am buying to spray one to new headlights to stop it getting yellow. I won't be sanding to rough up the surface
Why is this guy polishing if it's a scam
I've learned a lot from this guy and use all the same methods and products. I enjoy learning from your videos. You pass on so much knowledge to us and most of us appreciate it. You have the best channel for headlights. I believe in my work cause it works. Meguiars made 83 million last year. I think they know what they're doing. If you watch other videos he explains the headlight and why you put the oil back on the headlight before the headlight coating goes on. Haters gonna hate. Lot's of money to be made with what he's telling us..............
Why do people want to hate? I learned a lot from this guy and he's the best and the most informative. I mirror everything he does and use all the same products. I've seen almost all his videos and his work speaks for itself.
how do you dry sand with out burning the lence i tryed it once the after they looked good but then it was like small cloudy circle
Ok, I'm convinced! I'm doing this on my 2007 4Runner and the rest of my family cars. QUESTION: why switch from a cordless drill to the 12v battery rotary? Couldn't you stick with one or the other for both applications? Or, is the drill too powerful and the 12v rotary has a more gentle action? I'm asking because I have a cordless drill and would rather not buy another tool if I don't need it. I also have a Griot's Garage rotary polisher I suppose I could use for all of it, right?
HEY, in a case like this would using a cold gel pack over the tape quick, help it release better, safer? Like, would adding some cold prevent too much stickiness? FREAKING LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! We have one more kid in high school so I’ve been looking for some kind of job where I still have some flexibility to be there for all three kids (a HS junior, one starting college in the fall, one back home after two years in college) when they need me (my first and foremost career in life is mom 😄) so this looks perfect! Husband would support the idea, I can work a LOT if I want. I love the fact that doing this right is an art form which I would really enjoy…I get super focused on detailed projects. THANK YOU!!!!
How long does this process last? Great video!!!
Working on a customers car. What do you do when your tape pulls up paint from a chip in the paint and looks way worse now?
Clean all the surface area and make sure you tape up properly. Tape up to four times just to be safe and TAKE YOUR TIME. It's not a race and never be in a hurry. Keep touch up paint with common colors. I learned a lot from this guy. Watch as many of his videos that you can.
Nothing lasts forever but 1.5years for legit 2k clear!? 🐮 💩 Poor prep is my guess for this case. But polishing before clear coating ?! Wtf lol no guy no lol
Alot of American people talk and talk alot
glad i found this on your videos! been following your headlight restoration steps. these headlights the dips at the lower inner corner. had to manually sand them. i used an orbital polisher since its what i had at home. mine weren’t as clear as yours specially at the inner lower part but im happy. i learned something and its gonna be looking a lot better next time.. will be sanding my headlights again in a yr. thank you!
Bro good work i do detailing and this is something else under my belt thanks
Man nothing goes to waste with you. I like it. Just finished 1 of 4 cars and it came out perfect first attempt. I counted and you hit 5 light passes with the clear coat.
hi have you got a facebook page or group?
What’s the speed on the drill? Welcome back
what can i use as a polishing compound
Flitz polish, or Mother's mag and aluminum polish, or toothpaste with baking soda.
What causes halogram effect on my lenses when I’m done but it’s not every lens. Could it be sometimes I’m over sanding or is it the lens.
That’s why I can’t get my Mercedes lights clear, I have the E350 2011 and my outside lights rounded but parking lights rectangular 5x8 inch roughly , they are thick my headlights I guess I need more heat, first I have to get the meguriars clear coat off, I put to much on so it looks like it’s running

What did he do wrong that the 2k clear coat cracked?
I did dry sanding and I burned the lens. Any tips lol?
BRO BABBLED FOR A GOOD 10 MINUTES
What are your prices?
What speed are you running the drill for the first part with the P500?
Why did the price of Maguires clearcoat spray double?? it was like nine dollars and now it’s like $16 online or $22 in store?
How much did you charge for this vehicle? I noticed you edited that part out when that guy asked you.
I'm starting my own detail business but I'm real interested in focusing a lot on the restoration of headlights I came across your Channel and I believe by far you are the best
From this day forward I am your student
hi can i use the clear coat without use polish? (of course sanding first)
He has a video on why he polishes the light before he sprays it. He's putting back the oils that need to make a flat surface on the light. He talks about the microscopic cracks in the light we can't see. I use all the same products and methods. Chemical Guys Headlight Restoration polish is the best for it.
cannot get any better than that my man that is perfection🎉🎉🎉😮😮😮
im restore headlights in the uk the amount times i have heared wd40 or toothpaste is unreal ... a real headlight restore does a good prep first strip it right back 👍
I'm next
You are the man
I think his P-500s he left in his humidor....that's a lot of sanding for not such an old headlight....
On an average, how many sets of headlights can you do on one can of Meguiars ?
