Did this to a 24 year old truck that I couldn't tell when the lights were on vs off. Used the 3m Ultra restoration kit discs + the Meguiars headlight coating. Worked great! Now looks like a 24yo truck rusting out around a brand new pair of headlights. Thanks for the guide!

As someone that paints RC cars, which are made out of polycarbonate, you use polycarbonate paint on them. Nothing else. The polycarbonate paint infuses into the polycarbonate plastic, hence why it sticks so well. They don't need a "keyed" surface.

You list the 3M kits, do you ever use those wipe on clears then apply the spray? Also I notice the spray advertises it protects up to one year (according to their tests). Do you need to reapply it later, and if so is the process the same?

I can't express how glad I am to have come across your channel. I mostly have done them free for my friends because I wanted to PERFECT the craft before I go full pro on it. 3 years later my best restorations still look as good as when I did them. And even though the person said "Wow!" I watch your videos and realize I COULD DO A LOT BETTER. Thank you for making these very transparent videos bro. You're teaching us a cheat code to success.

@akogar 10 месяцев назад

I was about to start renewing my headlights. At the beginning I saw 2k videos everywhere, but in Europe 2k 3680061 is not available / available under a different name on the German market. I finally found your video about 2k products, and I also watched a video from another creator (channel OSREN Official), you can see there that after applying the coat it becomes "milky" under the microscope, but there are actually fewer scratches. However, it follows that the coat he puts on limits the outgoing light (but he put 2 layers not 1). The Junky DIY guy channel presents several ways to protect the lamp after polishing. Finally, he chose ppf foil. It's a pity that he didn't show the camera how transparent it is under a microscope, but most of the "detailing" companies I looked at in Europe protect the lamps after polishing with ppf foil. Of course, good quality ppf foil, e.g. CarbonQ, and not cheap ones from Amazon or Aliexpress. I think I will go this way and finally protect the lamps with foil, but your method also seems to be correct. It would be nice to see under a microscope what it looks like, comparing your method and good quality ppf foil.

@Jeffbeat77 6 месяцев назад

Hi, I am following up another kind of long comment. Here you answered the question about number of coats. After you finished sanding you did some buffing with the same buffing pad I happen to have. Was it only water you dabbed on before buffing? You held up some olive oil for a second? I’m not sure if that was used to buff, or another thing not to use? All I need is a microfiber towel and some 3000 grit paper. My Volvo is the 8 cylinder version and it should run for another 150-200K miles. To use your analogy, I want to make the cake as perfect as possible before the cherry goes on? I’m curious if the maguires coating has instructions on how to keep the nozzle from clogging up until it’s needed again? I know many types of spray coatings say to turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to keep the nozzle from clogging up during storage? Thanks again! Jeff

@kadalora Месяц назад

@5:40 there's no explanation/tag on screen but are you simply putting on another P800 disc? And why? Also I see no need to manually sand, the power sander will be doing far more work than by hand surely. In your list of items beneath the vid you also have links to a 3M P220 and P320, but these don't appear in the vid, are those just for really badly fogged/cloudy headlights?? Would be good if the whole process was explained at the start, ie start with P500, then P800 etc. Great vid though cheers

@jeffwilliams707 20 дней назад

MIND BLOWING….i sanded all the yellow off, down to super fine ( 5000 ) then buffed with plastic polish and was worried all the micro scratches would show up after spraying….I WAS AMAZED….this stuff went on just as described on the can and my lenses look BRAND NEW! If made all the fine scratches disappear like magic.

@theheadlightrestorationpro 8 месяцев назад

No I don't think you can I could do it but I don't do it because different things happen somebody who's not on my level is going to have a hard time blending it to where it it's not noticeable I don't even do it just because the physics of it doesn't work what will happen is the border along the lines of the stuff that you did not remove will start going bad before the stuff you replaced and a light will look really weird....

@theheadlightrestorationpro 6 месяцев назад

Okay you don't want to think of it melting into it it's more of a self leveling.. which means it kind of forms a nice shell but yes if you spray too much you will develop drips so you really want to pay attention on this part... You have to have the proper speed the proper distance and the proper method.... I don't get the runs because I stopped at the proper timing... If you do too much it will happen every once in awhile it happens to me you have to pull away but you see how much I lay down..

Some times.... Is Hondas and Toyotas are prone for it with the softer pitch they are better headlight but unfortunately if somebody leaves them on service for too long where they just continue to road to the point where there's almost no clear code left and just stay there for years you get a internal fog of the actual polycarbonate on the cellular level which means the clear polycarbonate has changed to that foggy structure like you I'm talking about...👍🏽💯 It sucks all you can do is the best you can do and work with what is given to you...

@ShoeHefner757 10 месяцев назад

@@theheadlightrestorationpro I figured this part out on my own, but you should cover burn marks for content. When I see them, I always tell people that their lights have been foggy for too long and the light has no where to escape so it beams directly on the inside of the headlight cover creating a permanent burn mark. I use a magnifying glass analogy when we would burn things as kids using the sunlight.

@ShoeHefner757 that's creative...lol Basically it's LED hid burn..... And there's already a video on that about a year ago...

Have you ever used the Meguiars heavy duty headlight restoration kit? (the yellow box one) It includes a tiny bottle labeled "headlight coating" which claims to protect from UV rays. The kit instructions say to apply it to the included gray sponge, dab it on the headlight, and I guess that it is supposed to act as the clearcoat? This coating only lasted a year when I used it on some headlights. Meguiars does not sell this product outside of this kit, so I kinda wonder... what exactly is that coating? Could it be the same product as the Meguiars "keep clear" headlight coating, just in a squeezy bottle?

don't combine the two brands. According to him, don't even do two layers of the same brand. I agree with him on that, my kit says do not layer.

@mccrazycharlie 19 дней назад

Would you prep new lights before using the Meguiar spray or would you just spray it directly on? The reason I ask is because I'm going to install new lenses on my headlights soon. In my experience, the OEM lenses are always better. The aftermarket ones always start to peel soon as in 6 months to 1 year. I would like them to last longer and figured it would be easier to prevent some of this rather than later.

146,000 miles and 11 years in Arizona and my headlights still look brand new. never been touched. See others 3 years old and they look terrible. Some manufacturers make cheap headlights. kinda wish they would start fogging so I could polish down the stone chips.

@jamesg4670 Месяц назад

Hey man…i got an 2005 lexus es330….not sure the headlights where ever refinished,coated or what not but there still clear looking like the car was garage kept plus i have been waxing them and ceramic coating them for the last two years i owned it..just have some oxcidation or rough spots along the edges…i was thinking giving them a polish with Megs plastic polish then hitting them with Megs headlight clear coating…does that sound good enough or do you recommend a full sand job like what you did to this car?

@joshuamoore24_7 10 месяцев назад

I usually use the Meguires. Using the 2x or 2 k clear seems like a mistake. I have seen a product on RU-vid called Masterson's paint sealer with UV blocker. The guy wiped the "Masterson's headlight restoration on a Mercedes SL55" paint sealer on and then he buffed it off 20 minutes later. Thanks for the info on the video.

@theheadlightrestorationpro 10 месяцев назад

Yeah this is definitely the way whatever guy put paint sealer on the headlight probably shouldn't be using anything that's not designed for headlights that's the best bet for anything you got to use what is for what it is. . People thought you sheetrock for flooring or roofing... They use it for indoor walls... Because that's what it's made for... People don't use transmission fluid to run their oil or vice versa even though you can do it for a little bit the specifically designed for each specific task for a reason and the reason why I bring this up because if you do any of these flip-flops it will work but you will have drastic issues down the line or functioning issues.... So why would you purposely do that to your headlights because it's the same category...

@dichotomousblue 2 месяца назад

7:57 Because 2k clearcoat is actual clearcoat like what was on the factory.... and has UV blockers and lasts years, not a year. If it is flaking off it's likely that polishes or other oily substances were used and soils the bond of the clearcoat.

@simplyclear5802 10 месяцев назад

Would it be overkill to put ceramic coating on top of the clear coat after the coating hardens?

@theheadlightrestorationpro 10 месяцев назад

No I would personally never do this... It falls under double coating... You going to interfere with the way your headlights project the actual light... You should never use more than one coding ceramic is called ceramic coating because it's a coating.... Aftercare is the proper method which almost works as a thin film which is not a coating that fills in little tiny microscopic pockets that start the breakdown of the clear code and provided thin layer of protection from the Sun and or impact you can't put any kind of coating on the headlight without some kind of drawback...

Well you didn't do what I say do on the videos you pretty much just said in your sentence or paragraphs that you didn't do what I say to do if you don't do what I say to do using what I do it's not going to come out the same... Being that you use something that is the lowest form of product out there for that genre of product tells me that you didn't listen on the other steps as well so I can only really help with what I do on this video one little variation changes everything...

@weliftnation2418 5 месяцев назад

First question i make watching lots of yours videos. 1. Can you just do multiple coats instead of spraying the headlight coating on the way you do it because the way you spray it you already learn how much to spray, and im a newbie. 2. Can i just do like 4 to 5 different layers i mean im not doing to be fast im doing to make it last to only my cars. Spray one layer, then spray after 5 min, and then spray again until i do it to where it has enough coats to look great and more coats not just two like you said in the video? 3. Last question why isnt you videos going viral your work is the best.

The manufacturer says that you can spray on new headlights but I highly do not recommend this a factory headlight coating is going to last longer than any headlight coating because it's the first coding and some other reasons... What you would need is aftercare you never want to double coat a true coating on top of a true coating you have issues and there's a high risk of mistake..
