Brian this was an excellent guide for people at home for the past year or so I've been stopping at 1000 and really wet sanding and if you use a good clear coat it doesn't seem to drop in clarity but will bite a little bit more into the plastic, but I think it's great that you're showing all the people who would like to do this themselves the best way to do it and you're saving them a ton of money

Guide to a perfect headlight restoration
@headlampsrmylife9451
@headlampsrmylife9451 4 года назад
And you also said the most important thing which I forgot to write in my last comment, make sure everyone knows at home that if you want to do something right it's going to take a couple of hours anytime you see one of these kids that says you can do your headlights in 15 minutes the proper setup and prep work is going to be 15 minutes by the way I much prefer to do the headlights in the car because it gives a nice stable platform for which to do my sanding but you have to properly tape up the vehicle to protect it and I use a 3in sander and sanding discs so that I have more control, I would love to see the before and after photos from your viewership that does it this weekend! Thanks to paint society and the Acura Honda Classic team for giving me something to do with the last 20 minutes of my life

A good tip you can add to a video like this is adding a ceramic coating after the clear hardens. I know most people say 3-5 years max the clear will last before having to redo it(Which honestly, 40$ every 3 years isn't shit and worth it) but running a ceramic coat or a piece of PPF to protect it will go even longer and much more close to a "Permanent" fix

Nice looks great! Ive learned using a clear coat will begin to crack and yellow over time but i've never seen this type of clear. I use Meguiars headlight coating on my headlights and that stuff never goes yellow again

With the right prep and clearcoat, it should last a few years without any issue

I’ve never heard about that can before, that came out phenomenal! How long does the clear typically last before the lights start to oxidize again? You guys should make an acurazine thread in the 3G forum and post all your video links. More visibility for you all!

If you follow the step and prep correctly, it will last you a few years. Thanks for the recommendation

So if I still have visible streaks of scratches after 1500 grit I should probably start over and make sure the scratches are completely gone and cloudy right ?

When doing the final 2 steps of sanding. What if the headlight and contoured and a sanding block wont sit flat? Could you just use your hand? Also is it best to only go in one direction when sanding by hand?

@Patrick94GSR
@Patrick94GSR 4 года назад
How about compounding and polish after the clear cures, to flatten it out and take out that last bit of orange peel? I have a feeling that the slightly wavy reflections on the final cleared surface would bug me if I were to attempt this. Maybe 3 coats would be better if compound and polish are to be used afterwards?

This took me about 9-10hours today. I also had to replace my hid and fog lights. Super frustrating. Lots of bolts and nuts. I forget which ones go where. Have to remove bumper. Remove the windshield washer out of way to get the headlight assembly off too. The paint can you shake 2 minutes before and then pop then shake 2 minutes after. I didn’t read that and just did what they did in video. Oops. Then a stupid moth landed on headlight and smudged it Also I smudged the headlights twice so you need to build in extra time. So annoying. But got it done. !

Have you ever had one where the clear coat reacted to the poly? It was all good when sprayed.. walked away and come back to see fracture like line in the clear

Once you clear coated them, you can wax them as you would on your regular painted panels

The only problem I having with clear coat is that if the prep work isn't good the clear coat will chip and flaking off, by then even wet sanding is a pain in the ass. It happened to my IS300 BTW tell Brian to upgrade the HID bulb now, CBI cost about $89 per pairs and its giving a good upgrade out put compare to OEM Osram one.
