im a professional detailer of 5 years, and what buddy isnt mentioning is that headlights are 12-15mm thick. every single time your compound a headlight, its removes about .3-.5mm each time depending on the headlight, do it enough and your headlight will be very thin and brittle. after doing it right the first time, use any kind of ceramic coating on the headlights to protect it as ceramic coatings have built in UV protection, and just re-apply every year. no need to use clear sprays or anything like that

This 100% works! Followed step by step and I had really yellow headlights and they are crystal clear now! Thank you Buddy!

I like the way you get straight in to it, clear instructions, I'm very impressed with your videos as I am a complete novice, very helpful, thank you.

Great stuff. Can also pop the bonnet to give yourself additional space to work with. Plus you can clean the upper edge if needed.

[bradydavis]

You are easily the greatest person I’ve ever watched on YouTube. Actually helpful stuff. Thank you for getting into things at the start too. Like you just are a great YouTuber man never stop. Great tutorial and thank you for all the help from your videos.

Great video--thanks! I used a Mothers kit with a foam wheel and got similar results but your process to continue spraying water while wet-sanding is a great idea. My 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee has HID lights and those housings are expensive--definitely worth 20-30 min to clean them up like this.

Great video! I would just add that after doing everything you stated in the video, it's a good idea to apply a spray on headlight coating like meguiars, it will protect the headlights from oxidation for up to a year. You just have to reapply it once a year to keep your headlights nice and clear.

Just did it, slowly and nicely, big difference, they are back on their great glory again!

I do the same only with 3000 to finish before buffing works every time. I never use any clear coat after either probally would if i had it but this way is fine for our weather and 8 months of winter lol . Good ol northern sask. Canada.

[jeffhoenig]

Just did one of my headlights so far. insane difference. Very helpful tutorial.

[Me-dqeo]

Perfect! This saved me a couple hundred bucks from buying a replacement housing. Thanks! 👍

[complexpixel]

Awesome video! Can't wait to do this to my '14 Camry!
Unrelated but who would paint their car like that 😭

[terrenceduarte]

Biggest channel i don't know.. there's ChrisFix as well but i love that you give detail to everything, you explain, you demonstrate, good editing.. great approach honestly 💪

[ElectroHarmony]

Bruhh, these videos are on point. Lots of videos on this topic, but this one is the best I've seen so far!

[jdisdetermined]

Just a tip, not a criticism: Try finishing with 3000/5000 grit, or even just 3000 after 2000. You'll have an even better finish and clarity and faster and easier polishing. That soft pad and *very* light polish struggled to completely remove the 2000 grit sanding marks on its own without a cutting step first. You can see the remaining haze and swirls around the 9:12 closeup. 👍✌

Hi buddy a tip after you have done this add some headlights sealant to protect it its the same as doing the paint on the car after the polish u wanna seal your work with something to protect it 😊

[tschaeff]

What about a UV protection product to help keep the lenses from yellowing?

[joweeholmes]

Omg the fingernail technique is genius thank you!

[jameskretchman]

TY!! Appreciate your attention to detail explaining everything

[Bushidough]

Just did mine, looks great! watched your video for assistance. Thanks buddy!
