Thanks for all of the support on this video! To everyone suggesting to "Simply buy new lights," these are around $750 PER SIDE bit.ly/30I5wwg I'll stick to the $20 polish for now! ;) To those suggesting to replace the lenses, unfortunately these are not designed to be taken apart (shame on BMW). Because of that, it would be a tremendous amount of work to disassemble them, and there are no official OEM or Genuine replacement lenses. For $20 and about an hour of my time, I'm satisfied with the results I got, even If I have to redo them in a year.

Thanks for staying true to the older platforms. Anybody can buy a new car. It takes a pro to keep an old one looking new!

That is by far the Best kit you can get , I did 10 cars out of my 1 kit

ASMR Headlights. I think we found something that never has been on KZfaq

The whole process was absolutely beautiful, from start to finish! Motivates me to do mine when the weather gets better (I don’t have a garage)

the production quality of this video is amazing. Shots are in focus, audio levels and quality are spot-on, explanation and video length was great as well. Subscribed, keep it up :)

As a detailer on certain cars where the hood comes up next to the headlights, I’ll just pop the hood and completely remove sanding it from the equation.

Bro when I had my e90 I learnt a lot from your videos. I have an 330e f30 now and I still watch your videos. Keep up the good work B👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

i did the sanding and clear coat only as well on my e46. The finish is pretty decent, still better than nothing. Might redo the restoration with proper products soon, as well as the trunk lights

Thank you for this video! After I watched I ordered a kit myself. Just did them last night and it was just as easy as your tutorial. Perfect foolproof explanation so no one should worry about ruining their headlights. Meguiars should pay you for this advertising lol

It helps a lot! I do this for friends all the time. But i do have a lot of equipment so i just use regular coarse polish and finish with a fine polish. And coat it with a ceramic Coating.

Holy shit. I was convinced there was no hope for my e90 330s headlight lenses but this video proved otherwise. Thanks my man, keep up the good content.

This kit is awesome. Used it on a car we sold last year. Literally like new. Thanks for documenting!

Great clip and no SHOUTING , you are a good presenter well done . Used the mid range product on my 2002 Audi TT and it worked a charm , be prepared to take your time , the result will be good , i ceramic coated when finished CMX and they still look great after 8 months .

I just did this on my e90 with my buddy, my headlights are crystal clear! I plan on applying a 3M film to them, similar to the way described in Milan Mastracci’s video.

His voice is so calm and soothing I could watch him for hours

I learned: When the lens's are really glazed you have to sand the hell out of them.!! Don't be shy. They will always buff right up but the more you sand the cleaner they'll look.

I've actually used this product before. Works very well. I've only had to do it one more time after, and I just went and got sand paper using the same method and what I had left over from the box.

Man, don't stop making E90 videos. I love them and the way you make them.

Nice video man, just bought the kit from your link. I can't stand when people make these videos for the sole purpose of "selling" their method of affiliation, it just makes them look greedy and untrustworthy. Your honesty and straightforwardness is rare in KZfaq today. Thanks again

hey justin! nice video, my 2011 335 has 55K miles and almost paid off, your vids and love for your car inspires me to keep my car after its paid for and maintaining it for hopefully another 3-5 years for no car payment.

Awesome! I did a video on the same topic and it blew up. Hoping yours does the same, I think you've outdone me in cinematics 😅

I always come here you are the one that makes me get a bmw E90

Affirmative, it does work. Outlined to follow directions, and you will get the results you are seeing. Mine were pretty bad, worse than the Beamer lamps, but end product looked just as good, but the reminders are extremely important.... keep wet, horizontally and vertically gently sand , but thoroughly and evenly... you can do this.... Presentation was really well done.....

Thanks for the great video! Used on my 03 MDX. Lasted about 5 months. Gonna use it on my 08 e92 next

Most underrated headlights out there. I love mine way more than the newer ones.

Not trying to throw shade but I just bought a Rustoleum $8.99 restore kit and used it on some WORKED 2001 OEM Audi headlights and it worked awesome, they give you a little sanding block and a single final finish wipe. Took about 20 minutes for both lights and they were BAD tons of build up and completely dull. It was easy and all I used was some elbow grease.

Please keep on doing the bmw videos! I’m so close to buying mine and i love watching what you do with yours and learning!

Extra tip/trick, put a few drops of dawn soap in water bottle. Helps lube a little more and helps keeps sand paper cleaner, plus allows easy cleaning of headlight between stages.

I have done a few headlight restorations. The best is sand 600 and then 2k clear coat. And then You can 1k sand and buff depending on how smooth the 2k clear layer down. If you use a good gun you won’t need to cut and buff. Will be doing videos come summer time on my channel. Cheers. Happy new year.

One year ago , I gave my 2004 e46 coupe to BMW dealership to restore my headlights . Pretty good job 👍🏼

The car is a beauty. They are making junk these days. Keep this longer and shiny for years to come. :)

Excellent presentation. Your calm voice and vernacular, and poised demeanor are exemplary. Comforting, encouraging. The work that went into music and production values were especially great. Best wishes. Hang in, but if it ever becomes less than a labor of love , say adios. As to critics do not even read dribble from disturbed people, it just clinically proves there was cromagnon dating. You can't help them, as their not breaking out the party hats when these guys show. Best wishes. But you have demonstrated talent here, pursue it, and incorporate other high subscriber blog site ideas if comfortable, it is not theft, it is a compliment to them and an industry given. Good luck.

Looks brand new!

Great job my man, easy to follow directions with your video. I like how you stopped to explain before or after each step. Keep it up.

Very helpful and easy to follow instructions, pleasure to watch,. Thanking you from Thailand 👍👍👍🙏

I got to do this for my Accord ! Seems better than the RainX version I used before.

the satisfaction of crispy headlights

Great video, the only tip I would ad is to rinse the milky water ASAP so it doesn't dry om the paint.

Nothing more satisfying than near perfect headlights 😁 great work bro🙏🏼

this is why i miss the days of actual glass headlights. never have to do this.

why not put the hood up instead of taping off?

For anyone wondering, the reason the car has angel eyes on pre-LCI E90 lamps is because they are the Hella xenon, adaptive assemblies.

Nice! I'd probably put two layers of tape, juuust to make sure... 🤷🏼‍♂️

i love the music you use in the video, Where do I find it?

I was just talking about doing this to the BMW (my first ever) that I bought 3 days ago. Thanks, can't wait to try the product you used and see how my headlights turn out. Your videos are great!

Nice video. I find that the coating isn’t the easiest to work with. Apply too much, you may get streaks after it dries... I learned it the hard way. You almost have to get it right the first time. Try to touch up? streak again.

Makes me want to go buy a car just so I can do this. And listen to him again. He's like the Bob Ross of headlight polishing

I'd like to see this process done with a neglected older vehicle

Pretty much i have not tried any of the after coating but if they are any good you need to or you will be doing them like once a year depending on where you park I use the plastx and it works well with a cheap drill attachment i bought online and i use a set of sandpaper that had 1000,1500,2000,2500 and just work thru them with the paper wrapped around a spoung

Reminds me of my old e90. Bought it with a broken camshaft, replaced it and put 15k miles on it before selling it. I sanded and reclearcoated the headlights, made the car look great

You've convinced me to get this kit for my 2002 TL, I used another kit but it was all by hand and as you said it seems that the drill makes the difference. Thanks for making such a good vid, cheers!

Impressive. So gentle and Effective. I got similar results!! Thank you so much.

First thing on my list for 2020 is to restore the headlights on my 335i E93. This video couldn't have appeared at a better time. Cheers to 2020!

Your videos are amazing! I love watching the b roll on them.

Just did this on my 06 e60 m5. Looks great and it costed almost nothing when compared to replacements of $1700 each headlight.

Thanks Justin! My E90 320d is just starting to show this issue with the headlights and I'd been considering getting this product! Great content mate.

The production quality of the video is really nice, I loved the close ups comparisons, I'll definitely check out your other videos!

I had said this 5 times watching this.. "He did that, Wow". This turned out fantastic!!

Nice video but heres a suggestion. When sanding instead of sanding it horizontal and then vertical vice versa, try sanding it in mini circles to mimic a Dual Action Sander. Itll make for a finer smoother finish and your headlights will stay clear alot longer.

Great video.....no nonsense. Most of us are non professional so this is great and easy

Thinking about doing it to my mk6. But they are already pretty clear. I really just want a mirror finish on them.

does this work with a 2011 e90 too? like the lci e90? is is the same headlight material? someone help thanks

Hey Justin. Justin here too =))) Dont let those keyboard warriors bring you down.. i enjoy watching your videos even it is 2021 now.. Keep it up!

You seem like a real likeable dude. Man I think having a beer with you would be so much fun! Btw, I own a 2011 BMW 328xi Sedan.

arent you supposed to go perpendicular to the previous strokes when you switch grits for best results? pretty sure the kits tell you to

PLS. update this review and tell us how its holding up!

Im convinced 👌🏾👌🏾. Can’t wait to see what new content will be released this year!

Wow great job on this one Justin!

Really like this video. Helpful and down to earth advice! I also am about keeping my car clean and sharp rather than spending big $$$$. I've been watching your channel for while and hoping to snag a BMW with the good tips you share.

I just used some rubbing compound and a rag and it worked just fine.

they look really good bro doing this on my e90

it’s beautiful 🤩

Great Vid man. No bull, super clear instructions - You have talent.

wow! the before and after shots look so satisfying!

Thanks dude!!! Very well explained!! and worked just great for me. Thanks!

I used a little rubbing compound from the same company and a rag, worked fast, and great!

Dude turned out amazing bro

Your videos are always useful and well done. I will try it on my BMW e60. You’re awesome don’t stop making videos about the e90 you inspire me in a lot of mods I did on my car, someday I share it with you.

The ASMR part killed it 🤟 great job man. Greetings from Germany

Cool video! Now I’ve got to do this for my 2006 325i headlights! I’ve used the Plastx before with just a foam pad and it works temporarily for mild cases but I might just have to try out the more detailed method soon to get them looking brand new.

Alright so I just did this and a heads up: * I spent about an hour or so on each headlight, by the end of the first headlight, the provided sandpaper was worn out and I couldn't get all of the fog out of the second headlight. * I recommend you buy an additional 1k and 3k sand paper so you can actually get it 100%. * For the frog tape, green doesn't have as much adhesive but doesn't leave any residue. Blue leaves the most. I recommend yellow frogtape if you can get it. * I had to buy an additional spray bottle, glass cleaner, microfibre towel, and a water jug. That was an additional $30 so the total was ~$55.

Thanks for making this video ! Great job ! I'm not sure you got all the discoloration of that light where it was the worst... Also, you will always be faster and more efficient wet sanding anything, if you will get the hose and tape the metal end of it, so it does not scratch anything, and set it to drip a little water from the top of the lens the whole time you are sanding it. It will go way faster, and the results will be better.. I always use the highest grit wet or dry paper to finish the lens, like up to 4000 or higher grit and the lens is way easier to compound out what little sanding defects are still there..

sweet vid man! keep the Bimmer content comin!!!

You make videos that are easy to follow. Thanks!

I'd kill for my '11 X3's headlights to look as good as the BEFORE photos here

Wow , that looks so nice !

Nice job JB! Tip.... Put some dish soap in the trigger bottle the next time. It lubricates the paper and makes the crap come out of the paper a lot easier. Happy new year man!

I used that same kit on two cars and got great results. It's been about a year now and it's almost time to do it again.

This kit is exactly what I need! Thanks for the video.

this is a better how to video than most detailers

Very nice job - looks like new! Thank you for this!

I tried that on my 2001 pathfinder but i used Rainex and the result was amazing, in your case the headlights look really good. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The 3M kits are purely drill based and work well. All the ones I've found last anywhere from 8-16 months before getting cloudy again - Next time I'll probably get a clear film to go over my lights and see how that lasts.

You can use chrome polish buff it in and buff it off works jst as well

Enjoyed the camera work! Good tutorial too. Thank you.

Awesome video, going to try this soon on my 2016 Corolla since the OEM headlights are faded and cost $450 new, the aftermarket ones are $180 for a pair but I'm not sure they'll last as long as oem.

Very nicely done

You seem like a really chill and nice guy, not to mention the cool car DIY videos. Subbed.

Brilliant video I think you've motivated me to try this too!
