This guy has some really DECENT vids....no B..L S...T, just good info, STRAIGHT to the point and don't have to suffer through some guy thinking he is A MOVIE STAR. Well done.
Thanks for the video. I just did mine on my CLK. I didn't have a power polisher available. I just used 1) wet sandpaper 1200 2) Halfords rubbing compound 3) T-Cut 4) Autoglym Fast Glass Took about an hour or so. Huge improvement and they are mostly now very clear and smooth. There is a touch of misting inside the headlamp covers here and there but not as much a I thought there was before I started.
Well done, I would like to suggest 303 Maring protectant for a final step it will provide UV protection. I buy it on amazon and it will make the lens so clear it will look like you removed the lens all together. I have done many headlights and it is funny to see the look on the customers face when their head lights are so cleac. I have had many say i thought you broke off the plastic they are so clear.
Great video! Nice to see how it's done the RIGHT way, not the toothpaste way! What are the number codes for 3M Perfect-it compound and polish that you use? Thanks, keep up the good work. Leslie
Just did this on my 1999 E320. Although I used novus heavy scratch remover compound and novus fine scratch remover. And generic sandpaper (1200 and 2000 grit) I got in an assortment from Amazon. Very similar results in minimal time.
this is great, i have same problem on my merc and need to fix it. this is by far the best ive seen so far. the only problem is, unless you're a car detailing/cleaning company it can be more expensive than buying the lenses. I like doing everything myself, but i dont have a polish buffer. The M3 polish in the shop is 78 euros for the small bottle, (and thats just one of the polishes you use. Thats the same price as new light lenses. If i could buy a small amount of the polish needed it would be cheaper, but the smallest is 78 euros.
Well, technically?? What you're "Removing" is the Thin UV Film laminate. That is indeed what turns cloudy or yellow. But without it?? your lenses will simply re-yellow again...only quicker.
sand it back to plastic with 400 than go 600 800 1000 1200 1500 1800 2000 2500 3000 wet,, make sure that before you go to next papper you sand out all scratches from one before,, also if you have just orange peel you can polish that out and just sand with 1000 2000 range first
Good to see why folk leave it into a workshop for this to be done. By the time you buy all the stuff you use, (about £200) it's not worth it for a one off DIY job even though it looks easy!
und wie lange hält das an bis es wieder verblasst..? Ich würde lieber die Streuscheiben gegen eine neue austauschen. Kostet auch nicht die Welt und "Tüv gerecht" ist es auch.
If your car older Mercedes check ballast it is under the headlight frame ,take of left front wheel take out a plastic wheel cover under the fender and you reach the head light frame and a ballast bolted to a bottom on the headlight frame.Go to a salvage yard and buy other ,and change!
You vant great better results you trie sensodine toothpaste! It is gud for sensitive tith so it is gud for delicate head light plus it is better if it has whitening because it vill whiten headlight too.
Is nice restoration job, but the sealer and wax will only last so long. To really make it last will have to put a clearcoat paint on it to long term keep the UV rays out, unless you want to clean, wax and seal every 2 weeks.
..er kommt aus der Tschechei...also der Grunt ist,warum er so lustig erzählt , dass die Sprache (englisch ) 😉 nicht seine Mutter Sprache ist. Sorry, wenn meine Deutsche Sprache gleich schlimm ist...mach`s gut
If you just put the TOOTHPASTE over the lenses and use the little wet small towel to rub a little in circular motion, the lenses will be clear like crystal ... I saw most mechanics or shops doing the way you do but it is not necessary and sometimes can damage the lenses .... Do the other way, you will see the result ....
