Chris showed me how to change the head gasket on my engine. It's a little involved but super simple. However, you gotta do exactly as he says, or it's gonna to be trash.
you used the wrong clearcoat, bud. It clearly ate the acrylic. The only clearcoat appropriate for this is automotive 2K clear. I have never had this happen on all the headlights I've restored throughout the years .
My family owned a 99 Saturn SL 1 that went over 500k miles. Original engine and transmission, and catalog converter, Just basic maintenance was needed (oil changes, spark plugs and an oxygen sensor)
You need to prep them with 800 for clear. Use 2K clear that one looks like 1k clear. Also don’t clear it outside on warm day, that is why you have shrinkage. Also good clean is really important, only alcohol is not gonna do the trick, some anti silicone and use of rubber gloves is nice. Acetone is no no because it will melt plastic “glass”.
It's so bad. Just polish it instead of trying to put a clear coat on it Edit: Apparently it doesn't last if you don't put a clear coat on it? If anyone knows or has tried themselves, can you clarify whether polishing without adding a clear coat on top works?
I just did this procedure to my headlights which were very yellow and foggy... Which is probably why I'm being recommended this video. Here is the ACTUAL best way to do this... I promise you by god, this is the absolute best way. 1. Wet sand with 600, rinse, repeat. 2. Wet sand with 2000, rinse, repeat. 3. Wet sand with 4000, rinse, repeat. 4. Polising compound on a sponge pad drill attachment at maximum speed. Rinse, Repeat. 5. Wax with a soft pad drill attachment on medium speed. Wipe excess wax off with microfiber towel. 6. Use UV protective film (NOT CLEAR COAT PAINT!) UV Protective film is easy to replace and will protect the headlights not only from the sun but also from scratches and debris. My headlights went from very foggy and yellow to looking practically brand new. Chris has many amazing videos, but his headlight video might actually be the only one that is genuinely not great.
