I was going the path of a 2K clear on my sisters headlights, found your videos, picked up a meguiar's kit with the headlight coating, did the restoration & sprayed the stuff on and WOW!! They look better than new. Thank you.
Awesome just think it would have been even better if you did my method they would have came out like my videos..💯👍🏽
@@theheadlightrestorationpro maybe he forgot to polish.. hopefully he did a single coat of M's
This lasts about 1 year I'm told .
Did this to a 24 year old truck that I couldn't tell when the lights were on vs off. Used the 3m Ultra restoration kit discs + the Meguiars headlight coating. Worked great! Now looks like a 24yo truck rusting out around a brand new pair of headlights.
Thanks for the guide!
I’ve done all the cars in my family with great results thanks to you 🎉
Awesome glad to hear this keep up the good work...👍🏽
What is the best second choice to meguiars headlight coating spray. I can’t get find it in my country
Headlight pro, u keep videoing and I keep watching, so much in your method. I love the heart put in it and that u share this knowledge with us, thanks Don.
Thank you my friend... always appreciate you viewing and your continued support...💯😁🤓
I have a headlight where only a little bit of the clear coating is coming off from the top. Can i tape off the rest of the light just sand where its peeling then compound polish and coat?
No I don't think you can I could do it but I don't do it because different things happen somebody who's not on my level is going to have a hard time blending it to where it it's not noticeable I don't even do it just because the physics of it doesn't work what will happen is the border along the lines of the stuff that you did not remove will start going bad before the stuff you replaced and a light will look really weird....
Can I use the meguiars headlight coating after using the Sylvania kit with the uv coating?? or should I just use the meguiars coating instead of the UV coating?
I did the same work on my headlights using meguiars Plastx and the headlight coating spray. All was ok after the work was done but next day one of the headlights didnt look as clean as the other one. Can I still repeat the process to get it to clean better0 even after i have added the coating?
Well you didn't do what I say do on the videos you pretty much just said in your sentence or paragraphs that you didn't do what I say to do if you don't do what I say to do using what I do it's not going to come out the same... Being that you use something that is the lowest form of product out there for that genre of product tells me that you didn't listen on the other steps as well so I can only really help with what I do on this video one little variation changes everything...
I have a ryobi drill it looks the same buy it full size and i think its time to get a new one. I see you have 2 drill one says back up but thats the brushless one wich one do you recommend?
I actually want to go with the one that I'm using on my latest videos which is the backup one... The 18 volt brushless HD... It's much more smoother and lighter.... Comparable RPMs and torque...
Definitely that one..
Thank you for checking out those links... hopefully you purchase through them..🤓👍🏽
@theheadlightrestorationpro I do everytime. I've gotten all the stuff you recommended through your links. Use exactly what you use right?
@ericb8205 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Can I ask what type of Royobi drill that is ?? Just about to start a headlight restoration. Many thanks.
if i wanted to ceramic coat it after all the steps, how long would u say i should wait to let the meguairs coating fully cure first? 1 week to be safe?
Hi, Just a quick question, would it be ok to use a hair dryer after applying the Meguiar's coating to speed up the drying process? Tnx
Awesome videos! Very educational! Thank you 👍
Thank you really appreciate you viewing please keep in mind there's over 100 videos streaming on this channel plenty to watch and soak up...
Once again thanks for watching....👍🏽💪🏽
I have a question about Meguiars restoration kit I'm about to use..
The kit doesn't come with sandpapers. Though it doesn't say you have to use use sandpaper. Hence the it says on the box 2 steps restoration. Oxidation remover and clear coat spray..
Do i use sanding for better results? Or do as it says?
I don't use that kit ...
Unless your headlight is barely hazed (as in almost not hazed at all), you’ll almost certainly want to use sandpaper. If it doesn’t come with it, you’ll need to provide your own
Now that I watch a video I can duplicate the same process and get my headlights looking like brand new. Thanks for the tips.
Of course you can... That's what this videos are about there's over 130 videos up and streaming on this channel that show perfect results at the end... Same method pretty much on every video the proof is in the pudding could definitely do it..
Given my current circumstances, I can't currently afford a second tool for polishing. I do have the attachments to stick the buffing pad to my drill. Would this work just as well?
will a push lawn mower mow an entire foot ball 🏈 field....?
Maybe so but never as good as a giant sit down lawnmower....
Will a shovel dig an Olympic swimming pool out ?
Maybe so.... But a couple tractors would do it so much. Bet it's insane. ..
So not really...
Basically take a lot longer and you still wouldn't get the desired effect...
You need heat to hit this level...
See this video...
th-cam.com/video/h-8BKUEVGRY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VMSQRJPR-fzsbaR5
Would heating with heat gun while you use your regular drill get the same affect?
You list the 3M kits, do you ever use those wipe on clears then apply the spray? Also I notice the spray advertises it protects up to one year (according to their tests). Do you need to reapply it later, and if so is the process the same?
Hi there.
I bought the ac delco polisher and it is great.
Is there any reason why you dont use that for your sanding as well? It seems to have a lot more control than the drill.
I noticed that for mine the battery dies very quickly. I'm going to get the bigger battery pack for it and see how it goes.
You have a very informative channel, probably the best on youtube. Why spoil it with all the vulgar language.
@harleycanine thank you appreciate it.... Because this is real life..... And this is the future a videography and or entertainment it's not sugar-coated or babied like 1960 he's increasingly every year.... This is what is parental advisories.... This is me being me and this is entertainment as well as the best headlights restoration education in the world....(and actually it enhances it-the high majority likes it..... About 16,000 to 1)
Appreciate your viewing 💯
Way too fast rpm not enough torque.... Not a true rotary and many other.. if you use the polisher for sanding on headlights you will for surely regret it nine times out of 10....

@@harleycanine Doesn't fucking spoil a fucking thing.
Hi, I am following up another kind of long comment. Here you answered the question about number of coats. After you finished sanding you did some buffing with the same buffing pad I happen to have. Was it only water you dabbed on before buffing?
You held up some olive oil for a second? I’m not sure if that was used to buff, or another thing not to use? All I need is a microfiber towel and some 3000 grit paper. My Volvo is the 8 cylinder version and it should run for another 150-200K miles. To use your analogy, I want to make the cake as perfect as possible before the cherry goes on? I’m curious if the maguires coating has instructions on how to keep the nozzle from clogging up until it’s needed again? I know many types of spray coatings say to turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to keep the nozzle from clogging up during storage? Thanks again! Jeff
It does not clog... It will never clog....

What settings do you use on the drill?
I used the high setting but before worn I am and upper level professional as upper as It gets... It'll take time for you to get used to certain things I would definitely start on the slower and and when you reach the high end make sure you feather your trigger and my advice is just to tape up really good and watch the hard to reach areas..
I usually use the Meguires. Using the 2x or 2 k clear seems like a mistake. I have seen a product on TH-cam called Masterson's paint sealer with UV blocker. The guy wiped the "Masterson's headlight restoration on a Mercedes SL55" paint sealer on and then he buffed it off 20 minutes later. Thanks for the info on the video.
Yeah this is definitely the way whatever guy put paint sealer on the headlight probably shouldn't be using anything that's not designed for headlights that's the best bet for anything you got to use what is for what it is. . People thought you sheetrock for flooring or roofing... They use it for indoor walls... Because that's what it's made for... People don't use transmission fluid to run their oil or vice versa even though you can do it for a little bit the specifically designed for each specific task for a reason and the reason why I bring this up because if you do any of these flip-flops it will work but you will have drastic issues down the line or functioning issues.... So why would you purposely do that to your headlights because it's the same category...
Nice vid! Not sure if you know this or not, but Acdelco has a 4 amp battery! Got one for my polisher and I love it cuz you can actually stand up the polisher now. I have like 4 of the smaller ones too but just wanted to let you know
Yes I've seen them before little bit more longer power supply, bigger.. don't have any as of this point if I try them later I just really enjoy the balance the way it is now...
@@theheadlightrestorationpro makes sense
What grit sandpaper did you use prior to the polishing and then the spray? What did you start with and finish with?
Everything is listed in the bio and everything that you asked was listed in the video every time I use one or change something it's flashed on the top screen.
500 800 3000 see how easy that was mr professional restoration. I don’t think I’ve ever heard more BS in one half hour.
Awesome! Do you clean the final polish compound off with any type of cleaner or just the micro fiber cloth?
No just a microfiber towel...(advised not to touch or deal with it the next 24 hours but you can use a microfiber towel to wipe off)
@@theheadlightrestorationpro Thanks brother!
@@theheadlightrestorationproyou don’t use a alcohol wipe before coating ? I always wipe with glass cleaner
I was about to start renewing my headlights. At the beginning I saw 2k videos everywhere, but in Europe 2k 3680061 is not available / available under a different name on the German market. I finally found your video about 2k products, and I also watched a video from another creator (channel OSREN Official), you can see there that after applying the coat it becomes "milky" under the microscope, but there are actually fewer scratches. However, it follows that the coat he puts on limits the outgoing light (but he put 2 layers not 1). The Junky DIY guy channel presents several ways to protect the lamp after polishing. Finally, he chose ppf foil. It's a pity that he didn't show the camera how transparent it is under a microscope, but most of the "detailing" companies I looked at in Europe protect the lamps after polishing with ppf foil. Of course, good quality ppf foil, e.g. CarbonQ, and not cheap ones from Amazon or Aliexpress. I think I will go this way and finally protect the lamps with foil, but your method also seems to be correct. It would be nice to see under a microscope what it looks like, comparing your method and good quality ppf foil.
Cool man...

Have you ever used the Meguiars heavy duty headlight restoration kit? (the yellow box one) It includes a tiny bottle labeled "headlight coating" which claims to protect from UV rays. The kit instructions say to apply it to the included gray sponge, dab it on the headlight, and I guess that it is supposed to act as the clearcoat? This coating only lasted a year when I used it on some headlights. Meguiars does not sell this product outside of this kit, so I kinda wonder... what exactly is that coating? Could it be the same product as the Meguiars "keep clear" headlight coating, just in a squeezy bottle?
Not sure I've never actually used that kit.. believe I have one in the garage have all box of kits that I'm supposed to be reviewing but just got tired of doing them... So not sure..
After you have sealed the light with McGuire's, would it be advisable to apply a ceramic coating as well?
Where are you located? I was wondering if you can guide me or give some thoughts on my particular issue on my 2021 Acura RDX
I'm located on TH-cam that's where I do those things...💯🥷🏽
I have a 2021 RDX Aspec. The headlights are in pretty good shape except that they have some minor scratches and the drivers side has two spots that are showing hazing. I want to know what I can do to either maintain/contain the current condition OR would a minor restoration be adequate. Wish I could show you pics. instead to make an educated assessment.
@96Ferno I have just a thing for you.. check this out...th-cam.com/video/kIur4XxYjDk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=brnTlxbQZYcnHcy-
Would it be overkill to put ceramic coating on top of the clear coat after the coating hardens?
No I would personally never do this... It falls under double coating... You going to interfere with the way your headlights project the actual light...
You should never use more than one coding ceramic is called ceramic coating because it's a coating....
Aftercare is the proper method which almost works as a thin film which is not a coating that fills in little tiny microscopic pockets that start the breakdown of the clear code and provided thin layer of protection from the Sun and or impact you can't put any kind of coating on the headlight without some kind of drawback...
can i polish the coating after it dries?
I live in Canada and it’s about 40° at the moment, I’m curious to how cold the temperature can be when spraying the headlight coating?
Here you go...

@steve4296 👍🏽
What can do for new car can I spray some on
The manufacturer says that you can spray on new headlights but I highly do not recommend this a factory headlight coating is going to last longer than any headlight coating because it's the first coding and some other reasons...
What you would need is aftercare you never want to double coat a true coating on top of a true coating you have issues and there's a high risk of mistake..

How long can one coat of Meguiare’s clear spray last before it start to chip ?
If I can afford the delco drill can I use my dewalt impact drill?
No.... Needs to be a polisher... The motion is speed and all the parameters are extremely different and impact will do nothing....

The other product was called NextGen ? Not sure you have heard of it or quality . But it was 30 a can and the cans are small. Also it seemed to me that their method is just sanding and no polish and then spray . Seems to me polishing is a must but I know their method saves time
Wonder if Meguiars would be good on my plastic wind screen on the airplane? Will it mess up the paint if you get some on it?
It's cheap enough, buy a can a tape off a small square (6"x6") in the corner to try it.
This man is the TRUTH!!! 💯🫡🫡
Yes SR....💯🥷🏽
Going with one heavy coat, do you still need to worry about runs, since it’s technically melting into it? Just picked up my first can of it, so no experience with this product whatsoever. Thanks!
Okay you don't want to think of it melting into it it's more of a self leveling.. which means it kind of forms a nice shell but yes if you spray too much you will develop drips so you really want to pay attention on this part... You have to have the proper speed the proper distance and the proper method.... I don't get the runs because I stopped at the proper timing... If you do too much it will happen every once in awhile it happens to me you have to pull away but you see how much I lay down..
Ive done probably 20 sets of headlights and my first step is NEVER that quick and/or easy. Any tips on that? Most of my customers have German imports so pretty hard lenses.
Timing will come with experience.... You should also watch some of the videos where I have to use heavier grits...like this one.... But there are a couple more as well ..th-cam.com/video/TTWsAYgy-iY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DoxrgaefeshOJX1-
hi, how many headlights can you do with a single can?
About 3 to 5
th-cam.com/video/1YCVKzBkNyE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TuFD59Vdsi-UYlxl
First question i make watching lots of yours videos.
1. Can you just do multiple coats instead of spraying the headlight coating on the way you do it because the way you spray it you already learn how much to spray, and im a newbie. 2. Can i just do like 4 to 5 different layers i mean im not doing to be fast im doing to make it last to only my cars. Spray one layer, then spray after 5 min, and then spray again until i do it to where it has enough coats to look great and more coats not just two like you said in the video?
3. Last question why isnt you videos going viral your work is the best.
If yiu have nkt tried look under the microscope at results and sylvania clearxoat does a slightly bettee job woth the coating. Wouldnt knkw about the pads 3m seem the best but you are clearly grear at what you do. Figured i might try to help you since you seem to jnkw what your doing
Sylvania is not that good....
SYLVANIA COATING IS NOT A GOOD COATING..
Especially compared to Meguir's coating....not even in the same class...
This is a PROFESSIONAL telling you this... someone who DOES MORE HEADLIGHTS IN ONE DAY THAN YOU'VE EVER DONE..
And also what are you trying to help me with ?
I'm confused ....
I had to decipher your writing as best I could..🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️
What grade of sand paper do you have to use
It's all over every video and in the bios it's even all over this video... It literally tells you and writes it out on the screen and in the bio..

Where are you located ? We would like to use your service can you send a link to your business?
I don't operate business off this page in this form... I'm far away from you the chances of you being where I am and this is a worldwide platform is like an email and a haystack so sorry...
I’m not sure if the year (maybe around 2014 - 2016), but the accords have an internal haze very often that develops. Have you noticed that?
Some times.... Is Hondas and Toyotas are prone for it with the softer pitch they are better headlight but unfortunately if somebody leaves them on service for too long where they just continue to road to the point where there's almost no clear code left and just stay there for years you get a internal fog of the actual polycarbonate on the cellular level which means the clear polycarbonate has changed to that foggy structure like you I'm talking about...👍🏽💯
It sucks all you can do is the best you can do and work with what is given to you...
@@theheadlightrestorationpro I figured this part out on my own, but you should cover burn marks for content. When I see them, I always tell people that their lights have been foggy for too long and the light has no where to escape so it beams directly on the inside of the headlight cover creating a permanent burn mark. I use a magnifying glass analogy when we would burn things as kids using the sunlight.
@ShoeHefner757 that's creative...lol
Basically it's LED hid burn..... And there's already a video on that about a year ago...
Like you said that the orb in there is a magnifying glass to help protect the light which over long term exposure creates a bird on the inside of the headlight usually have a crescent shape of some sort.....
There's a link to that video I already did about that. Although it is in other videos like this other one...

@@theheadlightrestorationpro You made me think for a while.😂 “for vehicles” or “four vehicles”

Great great explanation
And there's a lot of other things that I did not include in this video maybe in the future video but there's many more other reasons why this is superior and why there's some flaws in their instructions and in their perception of longevity...
Wonder what you think, 400 grit as wet H'LIGHT as frosty this morning and headlight was iced up wet..... onto 800, then Triz3000 and then left all headlight polish of which have 3 at home, went with a soft pad, generic compound. Also forgot the UV gel out a TCUT cheapo headlight pack. So I just cut ..... 3M'd and polished generic medium cut compound. All this not ideal.... Couldn't finesse the job as 1c in Celsius - I've headlight clear coat but haven't used it yet UK so cold. Job was about 85% ok, only spent 12-15 mins per headlight with frozen feet, rather 20c and 30 mins a headlight and spray them up finish @@theheadlightrestorationpro
@zzhughesd 👍🏽
I have noticed that plenty of Tundras and Sequoias have internal hazing and fog in their headlights. Its very annoying when I can't fully restore them.
Yes they have a softer bass headlight... But these go bad and people keep them bad for far too long I'm talking three or four years without restoring sometimes they develop a permanent Haze within the headlight structure the actual polycarbonate.... This is what kind of what happened with one of my most popular videos...
Polishing is a sham....

Is it better to dry sand then wet sand?

Where are you located at
I learned not use the high speed on drill with pad and cleaning solution. Dots everywhere. My wife's lens turned out great. Let's see if I remember what not to do on my car. Also enter into log with date.

How many pairs can you get out of a 14 dollar can of Meguiars headlight coating?
Excellent video
Thank you I appreciate it... Feel free to watch some more there's over 140 videos now streaming...😁
Is this a job that you do full time or is this like a side business you do ? And is it possible to make a great income out of restoring headlights ?
The answers are all in the name...😁😁😁😁 THE HEADLIGHT RESTORATION PRO......PRO = PROFESSIONAL.....
this is what I do ..💪🏽
Can you ceramic coat after the Meguiars has cured
No ...
th-cam.com/video/NgxNImOAoCY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gxHEIusV_vbLBDDn
Yes you can
I did and it ate through the coating...so I say no
There was a guy using a clear coat by a company called Next T I think ? Have you heard of any other companies who make a coating that is as durable as 2k but as easy to use as Maguire’s
Soooo are we not wet sanding? Just sanding?
Dry sanding is far superior....
Wet sanding does have a place but not the whole process...

Dry sanding why not wet??
Willing to bet bro is Sicilian. He sounds like all my uncles and cousins.
Is the Meguiars "self levelling" ?
Of course
The term you’re looking for is empirical evidence, it’s what you have that the guys that made the Meguiars clearcoat don’t have. 👍
Yes exactly... Empirical evidence is exactly what I'm speaking of.....

I Want The Truth!
Well here it is... There's more...but this is the most important stuff..💯🤓
@@theheadlightrestorationpro I thought you would say I can't handle the truth! Nice vids brother.
@michaelsanchez8457 lol
You can't handle the truth. 😂 I said it.
@fn1morbid 😁😁😁
Great video . Only two question , why you don’t use the ac delco to wet sand the lights instead of the driller?
And what’s the speed you use in the driller ?

Thanks 🙏
@MrYapayepe 👍🏽
I did this same method and it lasted about 6 months 😢
What is your "take" on using ceramic coatings on headlights ?
Ceramic coatings have no plates on headlights it's way too thin.. and it's not a true coding it dissipates like Wax..

I didnt have great results on my porsche lasted about 7 months and started to pok mark in spots..i did notice it says lasts up to one year..is this normal?
You didn't do this method, probably didn't properly apply it like with this method and most definitely did take care of it.....
NEVER EVER SEEN IT LAST SO SHORT...
Operator error....
Last week over 4 years on my car...😎

I've done an awful lot of headlights in my day but yes this is this first time using the product.its not readily available locally around here i got it on vacation when I saw it.car is detailed by a pro monthly..im more inclined to think the covers on a porsche are made from a different material..after watching your video I went on the porsche forums and there is quite a bit of the same reaction to this..one person said the covers on the the lights are a weird silicon dioxide something..im thinking it's not compatible
@aaronwaterman6982 I do probably 30 Porsches a year... All vehicles modern-day vehicles that are beyond 1987 are polycarbonate..
Sorry but it's the same exact stuff that any other headlight is made out of....
Did two Porsches last week.. and if you like on my page there's a couple Porsches it's over 130 videos done on this page Porsches are the same just like anything else.. what is Ferrari or Porsche or Honda Civic they're all made of the same so don't be fooled..
@@theheadlightrestorationpro ok well mite try again or have the covers replaced..
@aaronwaterman6982 👍🏽 I would follow this method exactly proofing so many times on this channel can't go wrong if you follow exactly what's done...
Sand. & buff with mothers aluminum polish & spray mguires. All done 15 min
Oh cool my average is 15 minutes of headlight.... To get the highest level results like on this channel..💯
Over 300 examples of 100 videos on this channel to PROVE what I'm saying..🤗
The cussing is @ no extra charge 🤔🏆😆👀
😂🤣😂🤣 Free....
This video could have been three minutes! 😢
yes it could. and it’s not his method it’s 3m headlight restoration kit step by step to a T except he finishes with meguiars spray
@@marambulaGo ahead and watch a 3 minute video then. Since your time is so valuable
I notice you always like to use fans to blow on the headlights as they dry. Do you not ever have trouble with dust being blown into the coating by the fans? I was thinking of using a hairdryer on mine on a low or no heat after I’ve done them.
Quite the opposite it blows away dust and debris...
Never use any kind of heating source also even a blow dryer on no heat wouldn't provide the same effect it's not a mass source of air it's focused.. you need to cover the entire light all at once.
@@theheadlightrestorationpro great, thanks for the advice, I think I’ll just let them dry naturally. It’s a bit cold & damp here in the UK at the moment though!
@eddgreen9376 temperature doesn't matter, moisture doesn't matter I just did it last night in 40° temperature was typhoon type rain I still use the fast... They dry because of air not temperature.

I always heard it call cya.
What's that?
@theheadlightrestorationpro cover your a$$
110% efficiency???
Whatever dude..it's a headlight...just fix the mf
I'm sure you can...
It's so easy... I'd love to try....🤣😂🤣😆
Sanding yet again why not just come out with a spray you put on without all the sanding !!!!
Talk to much good God
110% efficiency.... wtf?
Kind of erragant on your work 😂.
true. that’s his method though.
Talk to much. Good God
You don't need to curse
