Headlight Restoration using Clear Coat. This video will show you how to clean and restore your headlights so they will never turn yellow or hazy again! You have seen videos on restoring headlights with bug spray, toothpaste, baking soda, and the kits you buy in the store, but all of these methods are temporary and eventually the haze and oxidation will come back.
My method will first make the headlight clear by wet sanding and then put a UV coat on it to seal it in.

After 3 coats of clear gloss… There is some haziness from paint I believe. What shall I do to get absolutely clear glass now?
im a little hazzy about this! after watching things are bit more clear!
Thanks, am about to do this rn
Clear coat on headlights is NOT a good idea. It messes up the light output because of refraction. It would be better to put some protective foil on them. Clear coat is simply too thick to be used as coating.
Thanks again for a great vid 🙌🙌🙌
Pontial G6 headlight for 160$?? Yeah, not for me fam
i'LL KEEP LOOKING FOR A EASIER SOLUTION 🙂
Amazing video. You will make a difference!! Can We be Friends? :3
20$!!!!!its a PT for God sakes!!
so my mom asked me to clean her headlights on her silvia S14 and watched this video (and got angry for that) and well that haze is now gone thanks to you
her other option was to buy new headlights btw
How to restore headlights PERMANENTLY? No such thing. Nothing in life is permanent. Everything requires maintenance and upkeep. Aside from that, never sand down a polycarbonate unless absolutely necessary. Sanding is a last resort step. Lastly, and most importantly, never apply a sealant or clear coat. Never. Ever.Worst thing you can do a lens. Inevitably, it will always dry out, crack and peel off. When that happens, restoring it again is extremely difficult and costly. Terrible advice all around. Find a headlight restoration expert, not a car detailer or other non expert, and they can restore them properly for less than $100. Best money you'll ever spend.
I do the same method but it comes better when I do it
You should come to St Louis, MO and live here. And be my neighbor 🙂
Hey bro what If you did the coat to thick and it caused it to have runs and cracks in it.
All that work for what? Just buy new ones. People always factor our the worth of their own time.
Why do you own a Chrysler pt loser
Be sure to use distilled water
Hey Chris, For buying new/aftermarket headlights or maybe taillights, before installing them, would it be okay to spray them down with the clearcoat spray? Since they would be brand new.
I do 600, 800, 1500, then wet 3000 with a 6" DA then hit it with a buffer around 2,500 rpm with rubbing compound (3M 06085) and step 2 polish (3M 06064) and it gives amazing results.
Awesome, thanks!!!
Thanks alot Chriss. It worked soo well. I was about to buy 400€ worth of headlights for my car but tried this and they are better than new.
hows it going? can i apply the final wax coat the same day? you stated to wait 24 hours..but im looking to start my car detailing business shortly and returning back to the customers location was not something i had anticipated…
Hey I recently tried this and the clear coat was milky in colour, what did I do wrong?
First off – you never sand in circles. Ever. On anything.
Second – you dont use plain water. Add a drop of dish soap for lubricant, using only water the paper wont glide correctly and you have to constantly spray while sanding.
Third – 400 grit is absurdly rough for refinishing headlights. 1000 grit is plenty to start on most, finish with 2000 then rubbing compound, up to polishing compound.
I invented this shit back in the day. 23 million views, wow.
Petition for Chris to use Soapy Wooder
Solid, however u should always start and stop spray bomb off the target area, good video, however painting skills are poor!
the turtle wax headlight kit also works as well and can be 10 dollars and sometimes even cheaper and does pretty much the same steps as what chris does.
Works great! One thing though – if I get runs in the clearcoat, can I wet sand them out or do I have to start over?
This method doesn't work that well.
Can we follow this same method for Honda CBR wind shield which is yellowing colour with many tiny cracks,…. change to a glass finish wind shield for permeant ??
ChrisFix It's been 5 years now. How long did this fix last?
Would a Matt finish work or does it have to be gloss
