Check out the video of a master artisan creating a teapot from clay, one of my favorite videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6rLgf_ys0vo.html
It’s acetone in the heater can, very low boiling point and also EXTREMELY flammable, yes this works but on just cloudy lenses, if they are pitted or flaking the outer protective layer is damaged and this won’t work well unless you get that protective clear coat off……you can buy wet sand kits to remove the damaged clear coat and get back to base plastic for this to work…….you can do this with acetone based finger nail polish remover, heating it up to a vapor is pretty straight forward, have even seen funnels hot glued on top of candle warmers used, just be cautious acetone isn’t something to mess around with and if you don’t use it all DO NOT keep a sealed container in a hot garage come summer, it’ll boil/expand/ rupture or leak from container, then you have a highly flammable vapor in an enclosed space
WD-40 on a paper towel does the same thing. These acetone methods last about 2-3 weeks. Just use WD-40 rinse and repeat every couple weeks. Cost about 15 cents.
I bought this and used it on my Audi. It worked beautifully. It was fast, affordable and better than any headlight restoration kit on the market. (I've tried them all.) It is not witchcraft. It is basic chemistry and physics combined with some common sense. There is no deceit or trickery being used here. My headlights are crystal clear now, and it will last as long as the original finish did.
I just seen this kit on amazon for abt 60bucks. Ive restored my headlight once thru wet sanding and polishing but i never sealed it with a final sealant. So recently over time its started to become yellow and hazy. I will prep it and 3-4 stage dry and wet sand and use this as the final step. Hopefully get good results
I think I would want my paint work masked off around the light before doing this, acetone is a pretty string solvent, so It obviously is not good around painted things.
Seen this same thing done with a heat gun/blow dryer at the bottom, a red bull can(idk empty or what) & that same tip type. This comes out better then that big spray stuff...that's last resort. It's looking like Acetone in a steamer giving off vapors.
@@lep8622this has absolutely nothing to do with inside, if your getting moisture inside the headlights then you have a crack or opening somewhere, if there is visible water in the corners you can drill tiny hole on the corner to remove the water.
Works better than polishing (for me). Just be careful, don't breath that steam, use gas mask or do it outside. Also try do not touch lamp or to pour that liquid, it burns plastic and will make damage
This looks like it is a good option after wet sanding the lenses to remove all factory clear coat. But after this you must reapply a UV protective coating or you will quickly get dull/faded lenses again.
Bug repellent wipes with Deet works too but it will eat through the plastic if not wiped off quickly. Here is what they don’t tell you. The haze or yellowing is oxidation of the clear coating on the light. When you remove all the clear like in the video it will shine until the sun bakes the uncoated light then it yellows SUPER BAD. You have to spray clear or clear spray paint back over for it to really last and work. That’s not as easy as it sounds it runs. Good luck!
What kind of acetone are you using...? How it should be done? How can I heat up the acetone? Is necessary to get that kind of handy pot or something? The headlights should be sanded first before to apply the acetone steam? So many questions 🙄
I know this fluid is highly flammable but I wonder if you could put it in a steamer to heat it up one of those handheld steamers I would think you can as long as the element is an inside the cup but outside warming it up
You don't need all of that. Just use Turtle Wax Cleaner Wax! Use it on headlights, just like you do on your car's paint. Touch up about 2 weeks later with Plexus spray.
got a little bottle from the drug store. just lightly soak a clean rag and drag across lense one time only. always use a clean part of the rag each time. cost me one buck a couple years ago.
Like anything else, if you're handy, you should do it, if you're not handy, you shouldn't do it. Many people on amazon.com say it works great, but one guy says it ruined his headlight, then he posted a picture where it looks like he poured a gallon of acetone onto his headlight. 😄

Never never ever use clear-coat on head lights, forget what you were told, stick with the facts. Clear coat is like a phone tempered glass, when it it has done it time on your phone and you want to remove it, it leaves permanent scars on the real phone screen. Same with clear coat on headlights...it prevents future cleaning of hard to remove sun burns, yellow oxidization.
@@MediaTruth_Also most aftermarket clearcoats change the refraction of the headlamp lens.. it goes all wobbly and distorted unlike the original. So your light dies shine as far and as focused as it used to. Ditch the clearcoat and use ppf (paint protection film) instead.
Go purchase a proper headlight restoration kit. Jeez. I also used Off Deep Woods insect repellent spray on a paper towel and buff lightly. Then spray and buff with Graphene detailing spray bottle.
I'm going to experiment with a small clothes (garment) steamer and acetone nail polish remover. Outside in fresh air with a respirator, of course. Wish me luck
I doubt that works with the hard coating that's sprayed on most all factory headlights. Virgin plastic ya I see that working. The uniformity of the clouding is sus because that's not usually seen in aged headlights here in the states. Perhaps this is interior moisture.
Put a small magnet in a wet wipe and push it thru where you’d put the light, then on the out side of the light hold the other magnet and use it to move the inside one around and clean. Kinda like those magnet fish tank cleaners if you’ve seen thise
@@coppergoddess1111it does make sense. open the headlight as if changing the bulb, and drop in a wet wipe you've wrapped around a magnet. (a pretty small one), then get a bigger magnet from the outside and pull the thing around inside the lamp with it.
This lasts about 10 years, and it would take hundreds of treatments to make any difference in the plastic strength. Also, it's basically turning a worthless headlight needing replacement into a like-new headlight.
Sanding probably removed more material than this vapor process. I'm more wondering why this person wouldn't tape up the painted parts of the car. I'm fairly certain acetone would eat thru paint or clear coats.
