M3 Headlight Restoration featuring Auxito
มุมมอง 8644 หลายเดือนก่อน
I re-enact a parody of an infomercial talking about how easy it is to restore headlights. I sand the headlight lenses down using a range of 400 grit to 1500 grit sandpaper. I then use 2K clearcoat in 2 passes to cover the headlight lenses to look like new. I also swap out the OEM bulbs for a set of LED bulbs from Auxito, found here: www.auxito.com/FH8TWlClNhwsUg Use 15% COUPON CODE: MARKO

Is restoring a BMW worth it?

I finished restoring my BMW 530i E34 from top to bottom and sold it - the question is, was it a profitable restoration?

Do you even lift?? The Only Lift You Need for Small Garages

After 2 years, hundreds of hours and over a dozen TH-cam restoration videos, I finally finish restoring my 1995 BMW 530i 5-speed manual and make it look like it just rolled out of the showroom.

    What about those small rectangular imprints of bottom support showing up on both top black bases/benches (4:11 to 4:32)? Does it mean these base stations ( black benches) are made of thin plates? Please explain.

    Hi, I just bought one of these after seeing your video, but I can’t get it to work. The machine came with a wire that I had to wire to a plug and there was only two wires, red and blue. No ground! Is your 110V? The manual they sent with the machine has the wiring diagram for a 220v motor. Just wondering if you could shed some light on this

    I'm a little confused about lift points. It appears it doesn't lift by the pinch weld area but by pads located elsewhere. How do you know if this will work on your car?

      You can move the pads around to place them on the right support structure for your car, I put mine on the pinch welds or you can place it on a frame/jacking point as well
