Tutorial Headlight restoration steam kit (acetone) 

The first thing I do after cleaning headlights is I buy cheap UV window tint and pase it on there and trim with a razor and it get's protection for a good 5 to 6 years before the tint starts to peel and flake off, but no worries, peel the tint and re-apply it. The headlight under the tint is 100% clear. UV tint does not get hazed or yellow because it has UV protection.

Havent heard such bullshit in some time. Have you ever heard what ceramic coating is? No? I can tell.

@@user-fi1xu1pp7p yes that works perfect for most headlight with low temperature， be careful for high temperature headlight such as Xenon, with film it will generate hair-tiny cracks on the acrylic.

@@Brancuu so called ceramic is just bullshit, is nothing related to real ceramic, out of data stuff, it’s nonsense, nobody use that on luxury car, you can play it at home for 20bucks

@@jingzezhao4668 there are way more expensive and protective coatings. Also, few bucks for ppf.

yes it is

can do like you do as well

@@nonomotors What if you polish -> steam -> seal with ceramic coat ?

Any good hardware store

Hi, still looks good after years. Idk from Canada and any others country

Hi mate thanks for your comment. Bro the product I use is acetone base

@@nonomotors Is this not isopropyl alcohol?

@@nonomotors no it's synthetic rasin and toulene

@@georgenooner lol it's synthetic rasin and toulene.

@George Nooner except headlights are clear coated, and that's what uv waves break down, the clear coat. Simply buffing that clear coat would yield the same results. If the clear coat is completely faded you have to sand and re clear coat otherwise the bare plastic oxidizes super quickly without the uv protection of the clear coat.

Acetone clouds the plastic really bad!

Don’t need to do anything after you put the steam is done

I wrapped mine in anti scratch film afterwards.

​@NONO Motors if you use acetone, you really should put a plastic sealer on. It would last a decade vs 2-3 yrs

@NONO Motors If you don't they will be yellow soon after without any protection.

It's basically a metal can that holds acetone, a funnel, and a small fan...

@@calebdrake3544 I thought the can gets hot so it evaporates the liquid?

Can of redbull heatgun and piece of pipe there you go mate :)

@Malik waqas Read my comment above that steam is acetone...do only outside or well ventilated area

Aliexpress

Still clear mate

@@nonomotors what about now

@@6kbps😂😂

Hi bro thanks for your comment. You can fill up half of the cup with the liquid to coat your light. The liquid who is still in the cup after you done the job, can be put back in the bottle and use for next time 👍

What the name of the liquid? Is not acetone

Hi yes still looks clear after years

@@nonomotors did you put any UV protection after?

I want to know the same.

it didnt. the sanding took away the faded dry plastic layer on the outside, the finer and finer sanding grits removed the scratches created by the paper used before. He said to take it to 1200 wet/dry and then he used the steamer. I have polished lots of plastics over my years and its amazingly simple. I use water and a couple drops of dish soap while sanding. Removing the gloss is what you are after at first, then making scratches from the paper smaller. I use buffing compound and a few shop towels to buff the shine back. It takes a little elbow grease. BUT, the lenses will eventually go dull once again but it will take more than 2 years and this guys warranty will have expired by then if you could ever find him again.

Acetone melts the plastic

@@anguslean4058 Is it safe to use on plastic headlights?

@@mbz4652 yes That’s what it’s for Best to sand the headlight from 600 1000 1500 2000 3000 5000 if you really want the best looking Most just go up to 1200 grit I think 3000 is better Also the liquid is acetone Get 100% pure acetone Any hardware store has it Only fill the cup 1/3 and don’t spill it on the headlight.

@@anguslean4058 Thanks for the answer and advice. I heard a lot of people saying that using acetone on plastic headlights could ruined the surface of plastic and even dissolve plastic entirely. But I think that this is the case if you use acetone directly on plastic not if you use a steam machine

@@mbz4652 yep This works I got one off Amazon for 25 bucks If you take your time and sand it correctly It comes out really nice But if it’s an old worn out piece of junk with all kinds of cracks and garbage on the inside You can’t do much 300 seems to be the sweet spot but I have seen people go even higher I guess if it’s a high end vehicle you might want to go higher Most of them are stopping at 1200 and then using the vape machine Don’t use nail polish remover it has other chemicals in it Stick to 100% or as close as you can get to pure ethanol Also you could put a cuzzi ( foam insulated cup holder) on it to help retain the heat Don’t over fill it and don’t spill drops on your headlight
