This video is far better than the official Turtle video. They should be paying you.

That's what I did too, just used the compound to remove a bit of the yellow and didn't need to sand. The lights weren't that bad.

can you use the pads multiple times ? like how you use 1-4 on the right lens can i use the same pads 1-4 after for the other?

@MobileCarMechanic Жыл бұрын

You can use the pads multiple times. Eventually will wear down.

@kevinmioto2248 Жыл бұрын

Hey, nice video. But why should you go only left to right with the 1st pad and up and down with the 2nd? Shouldn't you go cross hatch with the pads? And would that cause a bad cleaning of the yellowing of the lense??

@MobileCarMechanic Жыл бұрын

I really don’t have an explanation for this as these are the directions on the box. I didn’t have an issue with the yellowing after.

@kevinmioto2248 Жыл бұрын

@@MobileCarMechanic understood the first part. Not the second. I am saying that if you do cross hatch, would that not clean enough the lense?

@MobileCarMechanic Жыл бұрын

When you cross hatch your evening out the surface. It’s to prevent sanding marks from showing only one direction.

I didn’t like that, it became blurry, only remove the yellowish dirt but scratched the lens, it didn’t turn as crystal clear as I imagined, prefer profissional polishing

From what I understand this type of product and its "sealer" is the ONLY way to go short of buying new expensive headlights and if you do that, you need to go OEM which is really expensive. I know a certain KZfaqr ticked a lot of people off recommending spraying clearcoat on them that wasn't designed for headlights and a lot of people's lights were ruined. Mine was one of them. No this stuff isn't "permanent" but the clear coat paints are either, in fact they will ruin your headlights in due time, ask me how I know. In a couple to a few years you might have to go over them with the sealer again, but big deal.

@MobileCarMechanic 11 ай бұрын

Never did the clear coat method but have seen some not so good quality jobs and it looks nasty. This isn’t permanent unfortunately but works for some time until you need to seal it again.

@keithroberts5611 9 ай бұрын

I think your referring to 2k clearcoat, Which for a number of reasons should never be applied to polycarbonate headlights ever!! Because it bonds to hard to the surface, And as restoration needs to be done again there is nothing permanent about clearcoats of any kind presently available,Only use certified clearcoat which states for headlights only!! My recommendation is Megiurs clearcoat!! OK it won't last as long as 2k but when it comes around for refurbishing again that's when Megiurs proves it's self easy to remove!!🤔🇬🇧👍

You can always spot a Novice they rarely raise the hood,? I can't really see much difference after cleaning using the glass cleaner spray!! It must be stressed this product is meant for light oxidation Fogging only!!!The kit leaves alot tobe desired the sanding disk are way to small and ware out to quickly, It all goes to prove you buy cheap you buy twice,If you have power tools and want a show room finnish may I suggest 3M restoration kit tested on utube and proved tobe second to none!! 🤔🇬🇧👍

I’ve had good luck with this product but these headlights are oxidized on the inside. My friend used the 3M kit and it definitely looked new.

Honestly I’m not sure what happened but even after trying another kit from my neighbor it still didn’t make it any better. Not sure if it’s stained or whatever but unfortunately it didn’t work on these headlights like I wanted.

@@MobileCarMechanic Holy cow, can't really avoid these trolls. Just wanted to say thanks for the video. It was very instructive. This Turtle Wax kit is the cheapest in my location. Still trying to decide between this and the Cerakote which is about 70% more expensive, but has pretty good reviews too. Cheers.
