living next door to this guy is probably interesting... out for your morning coffee and "oh lord there Scotty is screaming to himself again"

[percyjackson]

His neighbors know everything about car maintenance. They can’t help it.

took your recommendation and applied it to my '99 GMC Suburban headlights that were yellower than Big Bird's back. AMAZING!! at least at 100% improvement. different words for the less mathy folks. My headlights shine twice as bright as they did yesterday after only about 10 minutes and $15 later. Thank you so much Scotty!!

Scotty, you are the true old-school mechanic using experience and common sense. Greetings from Poland. Big fan. So sad the new guys have no idea about fixing cars. Stay with us as long as you can please.

The bottom line here is that both Scotty and Chris try really hard to help viewers with their cars, to the best of their knowledge anyway. It seems like Chis saw success with his method then immediately posted his video, as if he was under the impression that it was permanent. Chris isn’t a bad guy for posting something he believed true at the time and Scotty isn’t a bad guy for making sure we know the truth. They’re both trying their best to help us.

Your a good man. I appreciate all your honest advice and information. Bought a 08 Highlander 3 years ago after watching your reviews. Has 225, 000 miles on it and it runs and drives like new! You Rock!

Used the Meguiar’s Restoration kit yesterday on my 2006 Corolla with very hazy lenses and though I had to use a little extra elbow grease (the compound on a drill mounted pad), combined with three coats of the UV clear coat spray, has transformed the lenses into good as new. Follow directions, tape off the area around the lens for overspray and it is super easy! Thanks for the tip!

I was waiting for him to say, "Call within the next ten minutes and get the second one free... Just pay shipping and handling" lol

[pepeq]

Love scotty's enthusiasm and when he calls out car or parts companies for putting out "junk".

I’ve used toothpaste several times on plastic headlight housings. Generally the more gritty ones work best. Works great it was basically a cheaper version of those rubbing compounds but your car smells minty fresh too!

[THINKforYOURSELFinstead]

A shout out to Scotty The Man. Great content, you are a true teacher, my compliments. A girlfiend had the same Celica you do, and hers had 375k miles on it, and ran perfectly. All car engines should be based on THAT engine alone. Keep rockin' on Scotty!

[alimujtaba]

With 50 years of experience fixing cars under his belt, I can say with full authority that this man knows what he's saying. It's only been five hours since this video has been uploaded... I went to an auto shop near my home who sells Meguiar's products in my country, and bought this stuff. I couldn't be happier. This stuff really works!

[jamalable]

I had my headlights clear coated when I got my car painted. They started cracking and chipping bad .I’ll definitely try this method on my new car. Thanks Scotty

[bootz]

This guy has a mildly annoying delivery method but I can't help but be fascinated by his revelations of how car manufacturers and auto repairs rip us off. This guy's advice literally saves my bank balance. Thanks for being so devastatingly honest!

[pkersey]

This man is a world treasure! His knowledge of cars is second to none!

[GUYANESEGT]

why is everyone talking about Chris and toothpaste. Chris did a video where he sanded the headlights, then cleaned then up with rubbing alcohol and finally sprayed it with clear coat. truth is there are different ways to attack the problem. not everyone can get the products mentioned each YouTube video. so just get what's available to you and work with that.

[spiffcats]

Way to many comments on here talking bad about chris. He may be wrong about this, I dont know, never tested his way of doing it. Chris and scotty are both great mechanics, there is no need to talk bad about either one of them, I can appreciate that scotty showed us a better way to do something.

[rbilleaud]

Gotta love Scotty. I tell you what, he may sound like a salesman for Maguires products but he's never steered me wrong. Been following his advice on a lot of things and saved me $$$.

I'm retired but was in the collision repair/refinishing field for almost 50 years, teaching it at a public technical school before retirement. I bought a 1998 Nissan Frontier new. In 2008 the headlights had yellowed and dulled. Most folks that sanded and clearcoated them missed one small, but critical step. I sanded and clearcoated them, sold the truck in 2019 with 397, 000 miles on it. It still ran fine, everything worked, and the headlights still looked great. First: I used a high quality, name brand eurethane clear. I sprayed some purple power on them initially, which instantly dissolves the yellow dead plastic, it literally runs off the headlight immediately. Then I thoroughly rinsed it off, doing one headlight at a time. You want to rinse immediately because the purple power can dull surrounding trim and painted areas if left on too long. It saves alot of sanding as the yellow is gummy and a pain to aand off. I wet sanded them with 800 grit. Today's eurethane clears, especially name brand, have very powerful uv screeners. But, if it peels, what good is it? After the headlights dried, I taped them up for the clearcoat. The critical step: before clear, I applied one wet coat of plastic parts adhesion promoter. Its clear, and can be purchased at parts stores etc., I've seen it at certain Walmart's. After a 20 minute dry time I applied 2 coats of clear, with recommended dry time between. Applying plastic parts adhesive promoter is a must, if not, the clear will inevitably delaminate over time.
