You cant clearcoat over the polished surface, it contains wax and the paint reacts really bad with waxes. And for the clearcoat to be able to stick to the surface Im afraid you will have to sand it down again. If you dont like to sand them down again you will have to put on some hardwax to protect the surface. Good luck, hope you find this comment helpful :)
I usually go 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, and then 3000. They usually sell a pack with all of those at autozone for like 4 bucks! Then you put compound then follow it with polish and then hard wax! For that super better than new finish! You don't need paint.
Suppose to clean them with IPA (rubbing alcohol) let dry and then clear. Also polishing isnt required when you plan on clear coating them. Finish sanding with 1000 grit, 1st coat is light/medium and 2nd is medium/wet and done 👌🏼
I had the same clearcoat issue. You went to fine on the sanding. You want to go 800 - 1000 max. Any more and it's to fine for the clearcoat to stick. Apply the clear coat and it will clean it up and go clear. ONce the clear coat dries, 2000-3000 wet sand and then polish for best results
No the reason why it happened is because the polish is oily and the clear doesn’t want to stick to it just sand it down make sure there isn’t any oil on the headlight and clear it with out polishing it before spraying clear ...... I’m an actual professional ig @egokiller9 to see my work
La Vic's that was the spot when i lived in san jo, i went to the one downtown, because i lived blocks from sjsju back then. Another spot i used to go to was super taqueria.
You can either sand the headlights and polish them and youre finished. Finish with 2000 grit. Orrr. Sand and clear coat. You can use the polish after leaving the clearcoat to dry for a few days. But never before the clearcoat.
I just stumbled on this after seeing your paint job. This is exactly how I already did my headlights. That 'cracking' is 'orange peeling' of the clear coat. I already tried a light 2000 grit sanding too it, but I think I'm going to try 3000 wet sand, and if not, probably sand fully and buff again. It's still a lot better than before, just not perfect yet, but clear. Toothpaste idea is bogus.
Yo Sonny I detail cars for a loving. High end car lambos,Audi etc etc.. what we do is 800 grit wetsand, then up to 1000 grit wetsand and then 1500 grit. Then polish and they will last a long rime. Clear coat won't last to long. Good luck. Keep up the comtent.
That x2 clear coat sucks. You can use enemal clear coat that doesn't effect the headlight like the x2 clear. I've used that x2 clear before and same thing happened that reacted to the headlight.
I just bought the black housing headlights for my DC5 about 8 months ago and they are already getting yellow. It’s a very faint yellow but it still pisses me off
i really like your RSX man! i owned a 2002 Rsx Type S for 10 years! and that car will forever live in my memory's i had so much fun with that car! they are very fun and very nice cars! and plus they don't make them anymore! so shit man you could possibly have a collectors edition car right there :D they will some day become very rare because they were only made for 4 years. so i could only imagine if you kept the car extremely nice it might be worth more someday..... you never know :)
After the 1500 wet sand, you should've just sprayed the clear on first in light coats, let it dry for 24 hrs, then wet sand again with 2000, and then buff em out!
The clear sprayed over fresh wax had a chemical reaction u can wax and grease remove it but your best bet is sand them eith 1500 and spray clear direct
Sonny, can we get a video of the illiminate crew doing some yard work on your backyard.. that is like Vietnam bro lol
Daniel Tran trying to see Roy run out n play

I don't even have a car and you made me wanna clean my headlights😂😂
Bro they cracked because you put clear over polish!!!!! You are suppose to put clear when they look foggy after the last sanding
Marcos Arvizu what grit should you stop at before clear?
Those headlights are from Kevin's S2000
I tried that too but the clear still cracked 😭

I've used that x2 clear before and same thing happened that reacted to the headlight.

i really like your RSX man! i owned a 2002 Rsx Type S for 10 years! and that car will forever live in my memory's i had so much fun with that car! they are very fun and very nice cars! and plus they don't make them anymore! so shit man you could possibly have a collectors edition car right there :D they will some day become very rare because they were only made for 4 years. so i could only imagine if you kept the car extremely nice it might be worth more someday..... you never know :)
Yay finally!
AP2 headlight on the RSX tho
Do the 05-06 conversion!
After the 1500 wet sand, you should've just sprayed the clear on first in light coats, let it dry for 24 hrs, then wet sand again with 2000, and then buff em out!
that headlight is kevin jude or henry honda s2000
Hey Sonny, i wanted to ask somethin... Where Peter #Baggedyams at,he hasn't been around lately... is busy or what..
Uzair Charles he’s cooking some stuff rn. Comeback season soon!
It’s not gonna stick because of the compound on the headlight, that’s why it’s cracking
78th!! The Rsx looks good as new!
Ain’t no fence stopping a Mexican lol
ChrisFx got a video on permanently restoring headlights. throw clear over polish doesn't sound like a good idea
That forest tho
The clear sprayed over fresh wax had a chemical reaction u can wax and grease remove it but your best bet is sand them eith 1500 and spray clear direct
Your car is dope
watch chris fix' video on how to clean headlights
Thanks! My 350z headlights are so foggy
that headlight is from a s2k
Use light coats of clear don’t heavy coat it or it will crack again
Pls post the “baby video” 😂😂😂😂😂
Well needed
Shouldnt have used the Polish. Maybe I'm wrong but seems like it would fuck up the clear coat.
Chris Nobles exactly what I was thinking... cause the polish is a wax so it won’t stick as well
Solefresh10 yea exactly. I'm surprised nobody thought of that
