    😅 after 7 grades of sanding, I sprayed first layer and OMG😅 Everything became blurred😅 I almost fell😊 luckily you mention about this on video so it encouraged me to go with second clear coat layer Thanks for detailed description.

    Great tip! I can't wait to make mine shine again. The faded headlights cheapen the look of the car substantially!

    For those cheapos/minimalists, I found toothpaste and a rag is all that’s needed. About 10-15min per light, and it’s gold.
    In fact, I even buffed one after toothpaste polishing, and no difference. Definitely add clear coat, or some PPF. I went PPF and while it works, it’s more laborious

    Thoughts on the Maguirers kit.
    You use a cordless drill and paste they provide as well as a clear coating liquid. Not permanent but works well.

    For the pro method you only used 400 grit then the clear coat or you went through multiple grits?

    @MC4D. ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I'm curious on the light output on both. In my head I feel like the clear coat side, the coat may create some type of barrier that may affect the light output

    2K all day. TL, too legit.

  • @grandmastert01
    @grandmastert01 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Y2K clear is a nightmare to take off and it will yellow in couple of years but worst park is that it will destroy your headlights with spider cracking. It’s not made for headlights and is to hard which then over heats the headlights which then causes the spider cracking.

    • @TheLifeStyle6
      @TheLifeStyle6  ปีที่แล้ว

      I made the mistake of not warming the clear in warm water. Should’ve layed a lot thinner. Try resanding and doing again. Probably was the clear coat

    This is just my personal opinion but for most cars especially older cars it's just cheaper to buy completely new headlights than do all this. But hey it's fun to DIY too

    I did the second method and it’s better (no more yellow stuff) but the plastic is now very cloudy/scratched looking when the sun hits it. I sanded like you showed and then polished it out. Seems like the sanding damaged the plastic.
