My headlights are so bad that's it's getting dangerous to drive at night. I can barely see the lines and when it's snowing/raining, I can't see them at all. I'm waiting on the heavy duty kit in the mail and can't wait to see what the results are. Seeing you got the 2 step one and it did that good of job, I hope mine turn out looking brand new.
Wow!!I,ve been thinking u can't restore lights without technical tools.But with this video u shared & yr proper explaination u made it so simple.May God bless u 🙏🙏
I wish I could post my results here to show a before and after image. My headlights came great. I too thought I needed the severe kit but evidently it worked great. The real test will be to see if it last up to a year like it says. Only time will tell. Thank you again.
Liam Welsh it’s a specific type of clear coat used for plastic. Regular clear coat isn’t made for the plastic lenses on newer cars and it ends up cracking and fading even faster.
Isauro Bañuelos Nah it’s like a regular clear coat but formulated for use on plastics. Not as durable but durable enough to withstand the elements as used by car manufacturers.
I just used this product today on my wife's car. The headlights were terrible and totally clouded over. I could have done a bit better of a job, but the difference is massive. You can actually see the bulbs now LOL. Three light applications of clear coat should do the trick for a few months at least, hopefully more. It took about 40 minutes, including cleaning before I started.
Thx man it was really helpful I have 97 Ford F-150 stepside I’m working on and I wanted to see what would work for restoring the headlights. Again thx and good luck on the Chanel
Thank you Chris! Great job bro! First time I check your videos! Well done about the explications and nice editing! I was a filmaker and love the content! I am going to subscribe! Tumbs up! Keep it up! 💪🏼
@@shaibalchowdhury5270 I have a 18 year old car and the headlights were so badly frosted they were yellow. I did one application and they almost look brand new. I would highly recommend this product
As a rule of thumb always ware a respirator with a pink filter such as 3M!!! Regardless if spraying indoors or outside, There are health warnings written on the can!!?😮 Anyways a great job sir, 🤔😚
I just bought this kit on Amazon and used it on three of my vehicles a 1997 Chrysler Sebring a 2005 Acura MDX and a 2015 Nissan Ultima one kit did all three vehicles for $20 to me that’s a great deal it would’ve cost me thousands of dollars to get headlights replaced on all three vehicles What I did before I used it was wipe them down with 100% acetone and microfiber rag never using the same section twice my headlights look brand new now the acetone wipe really removes all the oxidation but you cannot use the same area twice that is the most important thing to remember
my respect and gratitude man. just do not use brake cleaner again for that particular application. it is a solvent on plastic. good you did not leave it on for a longer span.
Just did my lights. So the compound never achieved a uniform look. Looked the same for 15 minutes when I finally gave up. By the time I got to removing it it was a fully dry powder. He did not wait very long as you can see by his tape. Mine was covered in white powder. So I did it a second time and only let it sit about 3 minutes. Beautiful results. Like new. Very happy after the initial disappointment.
@@meregaming1770 I was waiting for it to get achieve that uniform frosted appearance he spoke of. Mine never did and since its a compound it became more powdery than his did due to me letting it sit there drying as I waited. Second time I just waited a few min and worked perfectly. As I said in my post I waited 15 min waiting for it to become uniform. So "by the time I got to removing it" I was boned. hah
TycoTyrannus thanks for the tip! I probably would’ve made the same mistake for the frost to occur. Now I know to wait just a few minutes like you said.
I have watch a few of these headlight restoration videos and in each one with a sealant being used noticed the first coat is when the headlights look the best. When the second coat is applied I see noticeable blurring on some sections of the headlights. I also noticed in some videos alcohol is used after sanding and glass cleaner after polishing. If anyone has a thought on the correct way to polish and apply clear coat please let me know. Thanks.
If you decide to polish the headlights after sanding or this cleaning solution you want to remove any polishing oils with alcohol. 50-50 is good enough to break down the oils. If you leave it on the surface and try to spray over it, it won’t stick as well.
I agree that the first coat is when the headlight looks the best. I did the second one coating and is a little blurring. I will do it again to only apply one coating.
@@yarieltarano280 it states on can you spray it twice, Myself and many more spray once only!! I find the best way after prepping, Is test spray first, Then spray from top to bottom in one continuous spray overlapping by 50% 😉👍
So when you applied the second step couldn't help but notice the mist from the can was getting all over your car. Did that have any effect or was it too light and just washed off next car wash?

By far the best product I have ever used. Very quick and easy to use 👌
I just did my 2007 Nitro they came out like brand new lenses I love this product and it's easy to use great job big guy
Good video, I'd highly recommend masking the surrounding parts with newspaper to stop the over spray.

I'm crying on the inside watching you spraying the sealant...overspray...lol
yeah, for sure cover the paint at least w paper
@@dmmusicmusic Won't hurt the paint. It's just clear coat.

😭😭 same over here. At least cover your paint with news paper.

Thnx for the video man. You got a very relaxing voice btw. Very pleasant to listen to.
Could have put the hood up and out of the way
Thanks Je. Excellent tip.
Amazing it works that well without having to do any sanding.
Good job Chris. Nice presentation!
That’s a big ass quarter! 2:25
😅 for real
Looks great!!!! I doubted it after the first coat but man looks good
Thx man it was really helpful I have 97 Ford F-150 stepside I’m working on and I wanted to see what would work for restoring the headlights. Again thx and good luck on the Chanel
I just ordered my kit. Thanks for the video.
Explained well, I've ordered the kit and will give it a try.
Thanks for the demonstration!
Bought the coating for my 06 dakota and then looked it up after I already bought it. What are the odds the best review is on the same truck lol.
thanks, I had to get rid of her but I made an update video on how the coating lasted
Thanks for the help with the headlamp restoration
Thanks Chris, I just purchased the kit and wanted to see a how to before I did mine.
It worked very good on one headlight.Just used the one bottle used to remove scratches and hazed headlight.
Great results. Just did mine!
Thank you Chris! Great job bro! First time I check your videos! Well done about the explications and nice editing! I was a filmaker and love the content! I am going to subscribe! Tumbs up! Keep it up! 💪🏼
Thanks seeing it done makes it a lot easier good job
Outstanding! Perfect video. Working on my Tundra now.
Excellent video! Just purchased the product for my car and this video will be very helpful! Thanks for sharing
Lou Zola..how was the experience?
Did it work?

Awesome! Thanks for the video my wife and I got the same product. So thanks for the review
Glad I was able to help
Thanks for the video. After watching I picked up a kit, and on my GF's 2010 Outback the results were fantastic.
Very nice!
Great video thanks man!
Good stuff
Great video! Very cool! Thank you!
Thanks this was very helpful.
Damn, a pair of headlights are only $80-$90? lol mine are $2K for a set! Awesome video dude, well worth it
Great results! Thank you for your review
Thanks for making this it really helps.
Your chrome grill,bumper, fender and hood are good for a year too!
Fr💀
I appreciate this bro, Keep up the awesome work. Thank you...
We used pieces of paper grocery bag to mask From overspray. Thanks for the video fam!
Thanks this was a great tutorial.
As a rule of thumb always ware a respirator with a pink filter such as 3M!!! Regardless if spraying indoors or outside, There are health warnings written on the can!!?😮 Anyways a great job sir, 🤔😚
Hi. Thanks for sharing this video as I’m about to do it on my car 🚗. Again Thanks 🙏.
Thank you for the demonstration helped me out a lot, very much appreciated man!!!
Appreciate this Chris. Am motivated.
Just do it
Am searching for the heavy duty one. Soon as I find it, gonna order it. Really glad I came across your channel. Am a subscriber.
Nice review, I just ordered a kit. Thanks
Thanks man... I’ll try that stuff
Great video, thank you for posting this, I will buy it today from amazon.
I just bought this kit on Amazon and used it on three of my vehicles a 1997 Chrysler Sebring a 2005 Acura MDX and a 2015 Nissan Ultima one kit did all three vehicles for $20 to me that’s a great deal it would’ve cost me thousands of dollars to get headlights replaced on all three vehicles What I did before I used it was wipe them down with 100% acetone and microfiber rag never using the same section twice my headlights look brand new now the acetone wipe really removes all the oxidation but you cannot use the same area twice that is the most important thing to remember
Looks great. How long does it last, until you have to do it again?
about a year, I made an update video, check it out
The part where he first sprays I cringed so hard, especially when he speaks with such conviction on how to "spray" the coat right 😂😂
$20?! I paid $65 in Oz on sale from $90!! I’ll be trying this out today. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Thanks for the video. Keep it up
Thank you for the video!!!
avoid direct sun with that but i like all maguires products.
Great video can I ask I have the 1 step as well as this one but do I need to use the coating with the 1 step ?
half hour? does that include cleanig all the overspray you put on the vehicle? poor chrome grill!!
Right, I wish they had a liquid too not just a spray.
Can you use on tail lights?
if you are going to use something to clean/wash lantern glass or plastic material in general it is glass cleaner or isopropanol
my respect and gratitude man. just do not use brake cleaner again for that particular application. it is a solvent on plastic. good you did not leave it on for a longer span.
Very Helpful and very confident in my purchase

Dude you should have lifted the Hood up if you were NOT going to mask off the grill and hood area to prevent overspray.
So basically a little wet sanding and a couple shots of rustolium high gloss coating.nice you just saved me 30 bucks 👍
Thank you!!!
Well Done 🎉bro
I don’t know how. But it gets the job done.
It's already been a year. Do you have updates if the product still holds up?
I made an update video, check it out

Thanks fam good work
Great review.
Thanks for sharing.
You bet
Awesome!!
I'm a little confused do u sand with the polish I though u had to use water to sand great video 👍🏾✌🏾
You can use both, add water so your pad does not clog up. Check out my new video where I use the Harbor Freight kit
@@ChrisFrankShow thank you I ended up buying it was only 16$ and it works great 👍
How did it hold up? How long did it last?
It lasted about 2 years, check out my other video with the harbor freight headlight restore and you can see for yourself
is the second one clear coat why you not cover the car for over spray
I had to clay bar the car anyway
Could you see scratches when you were finished.
Thanks

Great tutorial 👍👍👍
good job I like it thanks

no effect at all

Dude just wanna get paid somehow 😂

Can we also use this for the break lights?
yea, sure
Does this work on scratches or swirl marks or just yellowing of the headlights?
Light scratches, nothing too deep
Thanks
Bro I got this on my paint on my nissan370z how do I remove it. It’s around my headlights.😭😭😭😭😭
