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!

Chris is method works too, just make sure to do it the right way. Scotty presented an preventive method as a best solution. Both methods require timely maintenance nonetheless. However, I wonder why my vehicles have never had faded headlights. I owned an BMW 118i 2006 and currently own an Toyota Auris Hybrid 2013. Both always had crystal clear headlights. I simply wash my car regularly, about once a month. If it gets dirty unexpectedly, I wash the dirty spot away by hand.

I've tried several different ways to protect my lights. Living in upstate NY, and driving through winter, there isn't much you can do to save the lenses from road salt, sand, gravel, etc. The best solution I've found, was Lamin-X film. I have a pair of Hella 500FF fog lights on my push bar. After getting pelted with everything winter can throw at it, even the film wipes off clean, and looks great, not to mention the lenses they are protecting. If you have to drive in bad weather, or off road, I can't say enough about how well this film works.

@fishgeralding9224 2 ай бұрын

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.

Don't forget about overspray when applying these to your headlights. Protect the metal surrounding the headlight by taping and covering around it, otherwise the product will get all over the body of your car.

Hi Scotty, I always love your videos. About a year ago I used the Sylvania headlight restoration kit and my headlights came out pretty darn good! But.. It had started to get hazy again a year later. I like the method you used here (wish I seen this one sooner). Anyway, can I do this now over what I did a year ago? Do I need to take off the spray that the kit had me end the restoration with? I'd love to try this but I want to make sure I do it correctly. Sandra
