For those cheapos/minimalists, I found toothpaste and a rag is all that’s needed. About 10-15min per light, and it’s gold. In fact, I even buffed one after toothpaste polishing, and no difference. Definitely add clear coat, or some PPF. I went PPF and while it works, it’s more laborious
I'm curious on the light output on both. In my head I feel like the clear coat side, the coat may create some type of barrier that may affect the light output
Y2K clear is a nightmare to take off and it will yellow in couple of years but worst park is that it will destroy your headlights with spider cracking. It’s not made for headlights and is to hard which then over heats the headlights which then causes the spider cracking.
I did the second method and it’s better (no more yellow stuff) but the plastic is now very cloudy/scratched looking when the sun hits it. I sanded like you showed and then polished it out. Seems like the sanding damaged the plastic.
YIKESSS ! big oops! i hope you ‘wet’ sanded & used the right sand paper..and not jus completely gritted your headlights…😢 might need to order new ones…
@@-shezinluv- yes I wet sanded the whole time and even started with 600 instead of 400 and moved my way up to the finer stuff. Didn’t even sand it that long. But ya, it didn’t work. Probably have to order new ones.
This is just my personal opinion but for most cars especially older cars it's just cheaper to buy completely new headlights than do all this. But hey it's fun to DIY too
My only issue with this video is that you’re spraying 2k clear… in an an enclosed building… without a respirator My brother in Christ are you trying to give yourself cancer
