    Agreed, with a lot of the comments on here. There are perfectly good headlight restoration products on sale that will do the same job in much less time. In fact, I've just finished my partners car, both lights in 20 minutes flat with a shop bought kit.
    The issues doing this though are as others have said, this is really only a temporary fix, no matter if you treat them with lacquer or other "protective finishes" the elements and road conditions (small stones, dust etc) will always have a detrimental effect.

      I used the streetwise headlight restoration kit from Halfords. I would though suggest this, use the kit as directed, but don't use the sanding pads on a drill, use them by hand for a better result. A drill spins / rotates, for the best results, use the pads. but, use them left to right across the light on the first pass, then, up and down. Do this with each grit from harshest to to smoothest. The results are amazing, and, honestly, it takes no time at all. Just keep the light and sanding discs wet at all times while you use them.

      I had a Chrysler mini van I used for work that developed bad head light clouding. I tried a few different things including a store bought named brand kit. I had to do your method with 500 grit on the drill sanding tool that came with the store kit. It was the only thing that worked. If you have heavy fogging your way is 100% spot on, including the UV protectant. If you don't add the UV protectant the fogging will come back in a few months.

    Headlight polishing is a hobby of mine and I do it for friends (I don't take money ). I think I can recognize headlights oxidized by the weather. This looks like an artfully applied layer of something. If you look closely you can see in some places how the yellow stuff had a tendency to run off. My advice is : don't experiment and buy some headlight polishing kit. Even the basic ones which are not expensive and have guaranteed results. This on the video is more of a pass/fail lottery.

    Before you buy all these supplies and make a big mess, you should just buy a headlight restore kit. Comes with everything you need, makes far less of a mess and will actually leave a perfectly clear finish unlike these sub par results in the video. The kits also have a form of clear coat to apply after to keep the perfect finish for around a year. In those last shots it basically looks like someone ran a piece of harsh sandpaper over an otherwise decent looking headlight. If I brought my faded headlights to a shop and they gave them back to me looking like this I'd demand my money back.

I did some googling and youtube-ing and decided to try just 1 to 1 baking soda and water solution. I rubbed it on with the green side of a kitchen sponge, let it set 3 minutes. As I rubbed it in, I saw the yellow coming off. This is a 2008 car. The lights have never been cleaned, even though we bought a restoration kit too many years ago to count. Never used it. I got it out today, intending to use it but wanted to try Simple and Easy method first so I could tell if it worked or not.
      I used the sponge over it for a couple off minutes, using circular motions. I rinsed it off. Beautiful. I know you have to use a clear coat over it. I used clear car wax on one light and 3 coats of Armor-all over the other light. I will give it a few days or weeks to see which one works better.

    Химия явно "левая". Мыло - щелочь, лимонный сок - кислота. Сода - соль. При реагировании щелочи и кислоты остается тоже соль.
    Для "ремонта" фары нам нужно выполнить 2 операции:
    1. Убрать желтый цвет. Это окислившееся оргстекло
    2. Отполировать.
    Окислы убирают (обычно) мягкой щелочью. Например хозяйственным мылом. Автор взял мыло для рук, где процент самого мыла невысок.
    Ну, а главное, при полировке, верхний окисленный слой и так снимается.
    Использование зубной пасты вместо специализированных паст - такое себе решение.

      I don't think it's right to speak of faded headlights as if they're all the same and all respond to the same solutions. WD40 did not work for me at all, and the solution in this video, although I haven't tried it, I'm pretty sure could not work on my lights. The reason why he adds tooth paste is silly: because of the slightly abrasive particles in the paste, and he uses the abrasive side of the sponge to apply it. Well, abrasiveness is what is required to do the job, but if you have a look at how professionals do this, you'll quickly realize that it's not even 10% of the abrasiveness needed to get the job done in most cases. Professionals use various grits of sandpaper in this process beginning with one of the roughest and ending with one of the finest, and they do not do it by hand, as this would take a whole day.
