Thank you for only using what came in the kit and for not doing a 20 minute intro on when you bought the car, how much you paid for it and what it means to you. Great video my dude 👍🏻

I bought this for $14 USD on Amazon this week and am about to use it on my parents Tacoma. Hoping for great results! 👍

This is excellent but not life warranty. Got 2 years out of it on my 17 year old Yaris but is just starting to fade again. Still brilliant product and will simply just use again 😊

@TheCarDetailingChannel 6 ай бұрын

Thank you for the real world update. Hopefully people considering purchasing will read these comments and get an idea on longevity. I read the fine print regarding the warranty and it looks like they will just ship you a new kit if the customer is unhappy

@orangemoonglows2692 5 ай бұрын

honestly, for $15 every 2 years for an old car > $500+ for new headlights.

What conditions did you have? Was it outside all the time? I would have expected longer results.

@@chriscomfort1378 yes outside all the time. Plus I probably could have prepped them better and sanded for longer. I would definitely be more methodical if I were using it again

I used this kit $16.80 ‐ Wal Mart, on my 2015 Tacoma last night. I was very happy with the results. I used my own 2000 grit and spent a lot of time to really make sure I got all the surface grime and have a nice uniform surface for finishing with the kit's 3000 grit pads. My kit only had 6 "Oxidization" (not a word) wipes, and it seemed to not be a problem.

Small portion of only the right headlight of 2019 Acura MDX is showing oxygenation. Would you recommend completing the process on the entire surfaces of both right and left headlights, even though no visible oxygenation on most of light's surfaces?

@salvadorcarrillo3042 5 ай бұрын

Is this a good kit to use for removing swirls and scratches instead of oxidation?

@katmonaghan9341 20 күн бұрын

We did the lights on our 2005 Honda Element yesterday. The Step 1 pads never turned yellow? They did come out better overall, but not as good as I'd hoped. Maybe we didn't sand them enough. Not sure. Anyway, appreciate the video! Thanks

The kits now have only 3 Oxidation Remover packets for each headlight instead of 4.

@TheCarDetailingChannel 5 ай бұрын

I wonder why they changed that. While using this kit, I felt like I wasn’t getting any more benefit after using the second removal wipe so maybe they’ve gotten similar feedback. Thanks for letting us know

My guess, maybe eliminate what was really not needed in the first place for money saving at their corporate level. It's all about value of the product still while balancing economic issues.@@TheCarDetailingChannel

I appreciate the video. I followed all the instructions but my headlights came out really streaky, it might look worse than it was lol I might just have to get it professionally done.

@nickmcgoober5164 4 ай бұрын

Not to assume, but rather a confident guess, the headlight wasn't dry enough before the coating, or too much pressure was used in the coating step. It may be worth it for you to try again - you'll find it's expensive to have this done professionally, or worst case, replace the housing all together. I bet it will be well worth it to do it again. Or get an experienced buddy to do it :)

@orangemoonglows2692 5 ай бұрын

thx for only using what comes in the kit. a lot of people using different sand papers and power tools, and that's not helpful at all.

@TheCarDetailingChannel 5 ай бұрын

You’re welcome. I was so tempted to use a more aggressive sand paper here but I refrained from doing that because what this kit could do on its own. The results were far from perfect but also far better than where we started. Plus, the owner was very happy

too complicated and lengthy, also slightly damaged my paint around headlights, not 30 mins work sure, more like 2 hours, 1st and last time I do it, as usual marketing tricks, better let professional do it if needed or get halogen new lights...

@0:24: "Cloudy headlights like this will fail a safety inspection." Not like that they won't. Stopped watching with that BS.

@TheCarDetailingChannel 4 ай бұрын

I should’ve worded it differently. Where I live, cloudy headlamps can be failed but it’s up to the inspector to make a judgement call. I’ve heard stories of shops failing lamps for oxidation where that expense could’ve easily been avoided with half an hour worth of work

@ncooty 4 ай бұрын

@TheCarDetailingChannel Fair enough, though I think I'd take issue with any inspector failing a car for _that_ level of haze. Glad it was just a wording issue and not that you were trying to scare-monger over it. Thanks for explaining.

In the UK they would fail those headlights.
