Headlights Are Like New With 3 Drops Acetone. I Could Not Believe My Eyes!

It is possible to make your car headlights like new with acetone used by your spouse. Try this using simple materials like acetone, cans, straws, and candles.

Considering how we’re being told that petroleum products are killing the planet, car manufacturers are still using single use plastics on their headlights.
What happened to glass headlights? They rarely chipped, and were made of a material that can be recycled indefinitely.

Soft blocks, are for contoured surfaces. Hard blocks, are for flat surfaces. Flooding, is the key to every, successful wet sanding project. If there isn't water pouring on it at all times, your dry sanding.

If everything was as easy as the internet makes it look, you would have absolutely no need, for skilled tradesman.

But you do. And we're making money hand over fist because of these videos. People who don't know. Who pretend they know. And they show you, how to screw it up yourself.

God bless you, you YouTube creator.

After 25 years of being a auto body repair I'm finally going to be able to afford a house!

Wow, this video is amazing! I followed the instructions and used just three drops of acetone on my headlights, and they look brand new! I couldn't believe the transformation. Thank you for sharing this helpful tip!"
Lesson: Sometimes, simple solutions like using minimal acetone can yield incredible results in restoring headlights. It's all about being cautious and precise in application.

I used Hippich Simichrome chrome polish first, then Maguires light polishing compound. About 10 mintues per headlight and about 95% like new again. Easy.

Doesn't seem being better or simplier than only sanding, polishing and painting* the headlamp-lens.
(*UV-resistant clear coat)
And why this thumbnail with candle-wax??

1000 grit & water, 3000 grit & water then a polish and that's it. Good as new. I would never advise heating a product as flamable as aceatone.

Acetone is highly flammable and you're using a candle?

По желтеют за сезон. До 800 чистишь и лаком скрываешь, есть машина которой я делал лет так 5 назад. До сих пор как новые.

[qgsqiuk]

На месяц хватит, а потом снова помктнеют, заводской лас снял, а новый не нанёс😂 красавчик мужик😂 после таких кулибиных фары менять приходится

[colinkelley]

When you are finished, if you spray it with two or three coats of clear coat it will last for many years.

WTF!!!! Acetone is highly flammable and can ignite at room temperature. Acetone vapors can also create explosive mixtures with air when heated.

[ptinker]

I saw another video where acetone was in a rechargeable heated kettle and vapors would do that. I bet there are a lot of different ways to restore headlights but a sealant keeps them fresh longer

Heres a fact people you can get a better result wet sanding from 1000 to 5000grit, then using a small 3" rotary polisher with compounds and GOOD quality buffing and polishing pads. Second of all holding a flame under a thin aluminum can with acetone is extremely extremely f**king dangerous. Acetone is more flammable than gasoline. A lot more flammable and i do not recommend this because when it goes it all ignites at once going BOOM!!! exactly like gun powder. I know, i paint and do cerakote for a living and old rags used with acetone have turned my burning barrel into a gigantic shot gun a couple times when i lit it and blowing all the trash straight up in the air 20' then landing all around the 55gal drum that is my burning barrel

I think that General Motors used something like this to polish their plastic steering wheels pre-1970's

From Wikipedia: Vapor polishing is a method of polishing plastics to reduce the surface roughness or improve clarity. Typically, a component is exposed to a chemical vapor causing the surface to flow thereby improving the surface finish. This method of polishing is frequently used to return clear materials to an optical quality finish after machining. Vapor polishing works well in the internal features of components.

Feature size changes of the plastic component generally do not occur. Post stress relieving is usually required as vapor polishing sets up surface stresses that can cause crazing[citation needed].

Plastics that respond well to vapor polishing are polycarbonate, acrylic, polysulfone, PEI, and ABS.

The technique is also being used to improve the surface of objects created with 3D printing techniques. As the printer deposits layer upon layer of material to build the object, the surface is often not entirely smooth. The smoothness of the surface can be greatly increased by vapor polishing.[1]

I wouldn't use a flame to warm the Acetone that is a Flammable solvent.
Aliexpress sells the warmer bottle that could do the same work in safety for less than 10$.

Hola a todos;use acetona para sacar lo amarillento, solo una pasada por cada lado de un trapo de algodón, y luego frote durante 30 minutos, con pasta de dientes, muy buen resultado me dio.

[markorsrpska]

Clickbait.. he forgot to mention that you need to apply a lot of elbow grease as with any headlight restoration method..😁

[seecha]

First of all, you didn't put a single drop of acetone on the headlights. Second, this process is a whole lot more than your misleading, clickbait title.

[WiFuzzy]

last step is easier with uv protectant clear spray. Krylon makes it. And it keeps it clear longer.

На год, потом пожелтеет. После такой полировки необходимо покрыть лаком для микросхем, продается в магазинах Электронных Компонентов. Этот лак защитить от солнечного ультрафиолета.
