I bought this product last year and just got around to using it today ( just before cold weather descends on the region). It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be and I got excellent results. Wished I would have watched this video first so I would have avoided runs. But still the result was clear lenses!
I used this product on my daughters 10 year old Honda Civic. Excellent results. Took me about 45 minutes to do both headlights as described in your video. I used blue quick release painters tape to tape off the headlights and protect the cars finish. Thanks!!
Thanks. Perfect video. Just what I needed to decide what to do next for my headlights on 2008 Tucson. I'll be buying that product and doing the 2 steps this weekend.
Tío de verdad os felicito por vuestro video y como lo explicaste mientras realizabas el trabajo, está genial y como tengo vuestro producto inmediatamente voy a realizar de igual forma lo que aprendí contigo, muchísimas gracias y continúa adelante..... felicitaciones.... vale., desde España.
I just used that Moderate kit on a probably worse than moderate hazing on a Honda. That spray is the Magic it goes from fogged to crystal clear the moment you spay it on. All haze is gone. EZ too. If its really bad the server kit has sandpaper in it 400 1000 2000 grit. The kit I used had 2 sponges + bottle of Polish + Spray I probably could have used 800 grit then the polish but the results were WOW with just the polish.
can this process be repeated later down the line say a month perhaps less to get a better restoration (to go from a great transformation to an almost brand new look)
Might be a stupid question but if you use a wash cloth to wipe down (because I didn’t have a shop rag), should you throw the wash cloth away? Not sure if I should wash it with the rest of my clothes or use to shower again after.
Thanks for the vid. I was wondering what grit is the cleaning pads? I lost mine and have 2000 and 3000 grit sandpaper. Wondering if I can you those on a sanding sponge instead of the pads. I think the cleaning pads are equal to a 3000 grit finish sandpaper? Thanks.
Just did my 20 year old headlights and they look pretty good, big difference. Just wondering how long it'll last, have my doubts it will last a year like the box says it will.
great video cant seem to get this kit anywhere .. all places seem to stock another kit which is buffing pad liquid and sandpapers has this been upgraded thanks .. with the new kit does this mean you have to sand with water then buff polish on
Lol. I have been polishing for 2 days... by hand and then drill... wondering why my lights seem worse. More yellow and foggy when dry. I was wondering if last step helped clarity . You do say protectant is just that but also say it's what makes them clear.
Hi , greeting from Panama🇵🇦 , i bought your product it is simply amazing , i did it with my headlight of my Swift , the first one that i apply the result was amazinf but i did in the second one and the finish wasnt as amazing as first one what could be the reazon ? And what about if i repeated all process again in the second one ? Can i? Thanks for your answear be fine ...
It depends on how much you use them. In other words, how much “wear and tear” did you put them through? They eventually lose their structural integrity
I needed to do it again and I found that these pads don't do the job properly just by producing deep scratches. Better work with proper sand paper pads on wet.
So I did this restoration on my 2005 CGT but they came out hazy. Question I have is, after I've applied the top coat, how do I remove it to give it another clean? Should I simply redo the process and the cleaning solution will remove the top coat?
I'd probably wet sand them to remove what you placed on prior. However I would assume you could try to redo the same procedure first...and I'd that doesn't work, just wet sand it.
@@Always_Never I did this thrice and it would still come out hazy. Some random comment advised to try Mothers Mag n Aluminium polish. Tried that and it worked wonders! Cleared the lens up to near crystal! Could use another pass but I'm amazed at the result already!
@@shaazy always heard good things about their aluminum mag cleaner. Least that worked, and I think you can use that stuff to polish up your exhaust tips too
@@Always_Never Absolutely. If it can work so good on the plastic lenses, it opens up to a broad range of uses. I didn't even use the scrubbing pads in the Meguiars kit, just some microfiber and Mag polish! I'm sure with an orbital or something, they'd come out like new. Definitely recommend trying, cause where I am, the Meguiars kit is hard to come by, the Mag polish is easier to find and actually cheaper.
@@shaazy definitely beats wet sanding, which is a pain...curious to see, if it would take etching off of headlights, as I sprayed some clear coat on my girls Acura headlights, and it ended up etching some portions of the lens...went over it with Megiuars restoration kit, helped a lot...but didn't take the etching off that the clear coat left.
I'm only guessing but I would say yes it would make it clear again. Only issue I can think of is heat from the lamps could effect it. Also any off gasses should be 100 percent removed.
I did mine yesterday (same car!) and I wouldn't say they're crystal clear, a bit blurry looking. Did I apply the spray too thick? Two coats... 5 minutes between. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
@@brycebrown1 Oddly enough, more cleaning with the maguire solution wasnt helping. I ended up using Mothers Mag and Aluminium polish after discovering online ppl were recommending it. Phenomenal results, all done by hand!
I don't get the part with the spray. Why use a spray that only lasts a year when you could have a clear coat that would last a lot longer in the package?
Unfortunately not. As this kit is designed for plastic headlights it works differently to glass. Unfortunately we don't offer a product to get scratches out of glass.
But there is a wool pad that is super fine 0000 that will clean up a window in no time and the results look like a new piece of glass! I’ve owned a detail business for 14yrs and have found that not only do those wool pads clean everything off but that using water only for cleaning windows so we would have a wet microfiber towel and a dry microfiber towel making sure your not an any direct sun light of course lol but we’ve tried everything and this is the only method we’ve found that you won’t have streaks and you can go horizontal on the interior side of the glass and vertical on the exterior and this way is so if you do have any streaks pop out you can know on what side it’s coming from.. Good luck
Used this and got a little bit of the protector on my paint because of the wind and my paint looks like shit now. Nowhere on the packaging, the video or anywhere else is any warning to be found for this. Thanks, now I have to get my car polished 👎
Not recommend. Liquid is ok, spay is ok but these pads can cause lots of troubles by the deep scratches that they produce even if your headlights are well prepared and liquid is properly applied. Better buy proper separate things for this.
Wow, you, cleaned a clear headlight. That was helpful. Please do a video on waxing a brand new car never driven car. Your demonstration was about as helpful as a goldfish...

Just did this to my 2008 Honda Civic and the headlights look brand new after this treatment. I am impressed. User for life now. Thank you.
Are they holding up 9 months later?
The world wants to know!
@@KevinChannnn lasts about 6-12 months, well worth it

Just used this kit after watching the video, which was a massive help. Pleased with the results and a hell of a lot cheaper than buying new lights!
How long has it lasted?
I had used this before and work perfectly on my previous car. Thanks guys!
These videos are setting you apart from your competitors, it’s the reason behind why I am buying your products, keep them up!
Thanks. Perfect video. Just what I needed to decide what to do next for my headlights on 2008 Tucson. I'll be buying that product and doing the 2 steps this weekend.

A UK channel! Brilliant video - thank you for this. Namaste x
Great video. Simple and to the point. Thank you!
Hi from Costa Rica, I used this product, watch your video and problem solved in my car, a 2008 Honda CRV. Many thanks!
I have this exact car and picked up one of these kits the other day really looking forward to using it!!
Same here! E61.
Used mine today, amazing results 👍👌

Woow!!I,m speechless to sumting luking so hard to do made simple like eating a nice meal....Nice video fancy demonstration.May God bless you guys...
Thanks for shareing, just got this now, going to see if i have the same results, cheers mate
I just try it today. It doesn’t take away all the fog, scratch and whatever there are but it definitely improve the clarity.
that's not the product thats the fact that you would probably need to wet sand lights then add this product. This product is for lightly dulled lights
Looks impressive I’ve used the Autoglym headlight kit but wasn’t overly impressed will try this one and see how it performs?
looks so simple for the average Joe. and you get great results. i’m gonna have to buy this kit 😊
Stuff works great. I love you Maguires.
I just used this kit today and wasn’t happy. I should have watched this first. I see what I did wrong. I will fix mine tonororw
What u did wromg
can this process be repeated later down the line say a month perhaps less to get a better restoration (to go from a great transformation to an almost brand new look)
Got this kit great to see how it’s supposed to be applied
Well produced video, great review. Cheers
Might be a stupid question but if you use a wash cloth to wipe down (because I didn’t have a shop rag), should you throw the wash cloth away? Not sure if I should wash it with the rest of my clothes or use to shower again after.
Thank you for vid, very helpful. Can you use this product on the tail lights?
Thanks for the vid. I was wondering what grit is the cleaning pads? I lost mine and have 2000 and 3000 grit sandpaper. Wondering if I can you those on a sanding sponge instead of the pads. I think the cleaning pads are equal to a 3000 grit finish sandpaper? Thanks.
That sand paper is taking away the small scratches?

Hello, any update? 🙂
@@MasterKoala777 Actually still look pretty good.
@@BluePlanet470 thanks! I'm going to try it soon.
great video cant seem to get this kit anywhere .. all places seem to stock another kit which is buffing pad liquid and sandpapers has this been upgraded thanks .. with the new kit does this mean you have to sand with water then buff polish on
They said it works up to and over a year. Do you repeat the same process or do you just clean and respray?
Brilliant tip thanks for sharing
Thank you thank you thank you your product is amazing and has done an amazing job on my lights so I'm gonna do my daughters for her 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
I used this and it looks a bit hazy still...is this from orange peel from the headlight coating? Can I correct this by repeating the whole process?
It may take a few go's to get the perfect clarity you are looking for.
Meguiar's UK-if I’ve finished the process, just repeat both steps?
Lol. I have been polishing for 2 days... by hand and then drill... wondering why my lights seem worse. More yellow and foggy when dry. I was wondering if last step helped clarity . You do say protectant is just that but also say it's what makes them clear.

Overspray
Good on ya mate!
I just did it on my 2005 pontiac vibe
Are you not worried about the over spray of clear coat on the car.
I mean ik this is an old comment but you can wipe it off with rubbing alcohol so long as you don't let it cure
Can you wash the pads and reuse them in the future cheers
It depends on how much you use them. In other words, how much “wear and tear” did you put them through?
They eventually lose their structural integrity
Amazing! Once you applied the coating, is it possible to redo the polishing if you felt it could’ve been done better?
I needed to do it again and I found that these pads don't do the job properly just by producing deep scratches. Better work with proper sand paper pads on wet.
@@martineering.evoluzionethat pad scratch the eff out of my headlights
What about parts that aren’t foggy? Wouldn’t this scratch it
How long does it last? Tried 1 brand and it was just as bad again like 3-4 months later
This sealant gives up to a years worth of protection.
@@meguiarsuk thanks! No wonder this is always sold out locally

Great video and the music is spot on! 😃
How long after applied should one wait to wash their car?
Would this work on the inside of a lens. I’m currently doing a headlight retro fit and the lens is foggy on the inside
Does this remove light swirl marks?
I'm only guessing but I would say yes it would make it clear again. Only issue I can think of is heat from the lamps could effect it. Also any off gasses should be 100 percent removed.
It's something we've never tried ourselves so we wouldn't recommend it
Those grids are 3000 or 5000 or?
How many applications in that one kit
Solution = plast X ? Thanks
I have both but they're differently coloured.
I did mine yesterday (same car!) and I wouldn't say they're crystal clear, a bit blurry looking. Did I apply the spray too thick? Two coats... 5 minutes between. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Same here. Did you attempt a redo? did it fix?
@@shaazy hey, yeah I removed it. The Turtlex Wax restorer is pretty good and I apply 303 protectant every week or so.
@@brycebrown1 I just redid mine after 3 days, applied cleaning solution 3 teams. They still come out hazy after the clear coat spray :(
@@brycebrown1 Oddly enough, more cleaning with the maguire solution wasnt helping. I ended up using Mothers Mag and Aluminium polish after discovering online ppl were recommending it. Phenomenal results, all done by hand!
@@shaazy yeah, works well! Saweeeeet Project Cars?
I don't get the part with the spray. Why use a spray that only lasts a year when you could have a clear coat that would last a lot longer in the package?
How soon after can you wash car?
Can you use the same technique on your windscreen to remove finer scratches?
Your windshield is much, much harder than these plastic headlights. For finer scratches on a windshield i would go with glass polish.
1nt123 Thanks for that...

I’m using this product because mine aren’t too bad and don’t want to do all the sanding lol
does it stay clear after washing your car v
i wonder how many grit is this pad you are using with the cleaning solution? it seems abrasive
Will it help on much heavier faded surfaces?
No. It's gonna need sandpapers
I'm getting this 👍🏿👍🏿🔥
How do you get your car in the bay?
This stuff works great..wow🔥
I would recommend a activated carbon mask if you do it everyday. The fumes are nasty, its not water based spay.
Magnificent
Have this kit. Lost the scrubbing pads. What can i use?
.....a new kit.
What is the purpose for tapping
it's so that when we apply the sealant it doesn't overspray onto the paint.
Boom....first on
I want to have all the products 😅
Maybe just open the hood. Ha!
Used this and got a little bit of the protector on my paint because of the wind and my paint looks like shit now. Nowhere on the packaging, the video or anywhere else is any warning to be found for this. Thanks, now I have to get my car polished 👎
Won’t there be overspray in the hood and bumpers? If there is, how can it be removed?
Wondering the same
if you do get overspray you can simply wipe it off straight away. if it's dried you can use clay to remove it.
Thx a lot,sexy guy.Today i got this great kit.
❤
Not recommend. Liquid is ok, spay is ok but these pads can cause lots of troubles by the deep scratches that they produce even if your headlights are well prepared and liquid is properly applied. Better buy proper separate things for this.
Used on my 2016 Audi a3 terrible results…
take my money please
Esto es falso ya lo utilicé y es una porquería
left my headlight worse this product sucks
Wow, you, cleaned a clear headlight. That was helpful.
Please do a video on waxing a brand new car never driven car.
Your demonstration was about as helpful as a goldfish...
Probably the dumbest comment I have ever read on TH-cam, and I've read some highly retarded comments
I have used the product but now my headlights look more opaque. can i repeat the process? Should I use a damp cloth to remove step 1?
Did you repeat the process?
I'd like to know too. Did you repeat the process?
