I just did that to my 2014 Camry.....without watching your video first. And I'm so glad I bumped into it. You saying that clear wasn't totally gone damaged made me realize I may not have to UV clear spray them just yet. Results were quite good. I wish I could upload photos.
I used it on my '12 4Runner. Somehow the lower half of my headlights was still in good shape and the tops needed some ❤. So I masked off the lower parts and applied Mothers Mag & Aluminum... worked great. I have been watching videos...one guy used Mothers...then he used a sanding method on one light....dude wasted so much time & effort on the sanded one & it was inferior. 😂
The method I use that works great and probably Everyone already has the materials in their house is...... a used dryer sheet and toothpaste. This does require a lot of elbow grease. You do rub hard. Both the toothpaste and the dryer sheet have a very slight abrasiveness and therefore polish the plastic lens. Another great use for dryer sheets is combined with isopropyl alcohol to remove stubborn bug guts or dried on dog slobber from the paint. ( I had an English Mastiff so slobber was definitely an issue).
It works, but it's only temporary. The polish gives it a smooth, clear appearance, but the plastic is still messed up underneath. Once the polish wears off (3 or 4 months maybe?), you're back to where you started. For headlights that bad, you might as well sand it down and apply a UV protectant. It's a little more work, but then you're good for 3 or 4 years. When the clearcoat gets that bad, you're pretty much just polishing a turd. 😄
After using this process I won’t. If they were worse off and the clear had started to perish, I would’ve sanded to 800 grit and clear the light at that point

Are you gonna apply a clear coat?

Lots of stuff give you a temporary fix but first time it 🌧 rains it's right back to foggy
First like and view 🎉
All it does is screw up your lights .
How so? It’s a polish after all. The remedies that call for you to “let it sit for (x time)”, those are eating away at something.
No it doesn't. You just don't want to do it 😅
Works, homie!👍🏻🫶🏻🙌🏻😌
