- Hello everyone! In this video I am doing a restoration on a 2014 Hyundai Elantra. This customer was on the fence about the restoration since it didn't have a lot of oxidation, but did have some clear coat deteriorating, and a lot of damage from road debris. I had to cut these fog lights out to save time on the video.
I start with a 320 to remove the oxidation, damage from road debri and old clear coat. I then used 400 to remove the deep scratches made by the 320, then finished with the 600 to prep the lens for the new clear coat.
Clearcoat I use: nextgenheadlig...

WoW Brad thats My Car 😮😁🌴🏄🏻♂️🌊🏝️🏖️⛱️
LoL…
I just found your CZcams Channel and saw you doing my car here.
Thats crazy to watch your entire process and how you took my cloudy hazy a bit yellowing headlights and made them look like nearly brand new.
I’m very happy with the results and how much time and effort you put into getting the Headlights and Fog Lights looking so great and clear!
I Appreciate You!
Cory
Small world! Happy to have you here Cory! Watching it in real time is oddly satisfying, I'd imagine its even more satisfying when its your own vehicle! Thank you for the business!
Nice job. Very informative
Thank you!
That’s a great idea with the dry sandpaper !!
Save more money!
The nextgen clear you use is not 2k right, no activator in it? I’m getting ready to order some. I’ve been doing headlights on the side for years. I’ve typically sanded in 4-5 different grits, polished, and added a ceramic coating. Your way would cut my time in half easily. Thanks man and keep up the good work!
Correct, no activator, just have to give it a good shake before applying. Yes, it will cut your time in half!
GET THE BOTTLES I TOLD YOU TO GET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I learned my lesson haha. Those bottles are little big though. Yours still working ok? How long have you had them?
How should I expect the clear to perform on high humidity days? Thanks
When applying any clear coat, it can take longer for the flash-off to clear up, but no crazy issues
Hey! What blower are you using to help dry the headlight?
70% Rubbing alcohol
Hey Brad! Great video, as always! Quick question, I am trying to purchase a single kit, but I'm having trouble with the promo code SRH. It is saying it's not valid. Is it still available today?
Hello! Are you purchasing from NextGenHeadlightSolutions.com? That is where the coupon is valid
@@StartRestoringHeadlights Yes I am!

So I will be totally honest. I advertise and tell everyone $80 per vehicle. If they give me 2 vehicles then $60 each . If they don’t like the $80 then I will drop down to $60 but I just started after this summer and getting my website I’m definitely going to jump up to $120. It’s worthy every penny of $120. Sometimes I will google there year make and model just to show them how much OEM lights cost even after markets lights can be crazy expensive and they usually only come with a 1 year warranty or sometimes I tell them to call the local dealership ask them how much for new lights and installation. Anyways I’ve never done fog lights but if I do I’m definitely charging more. What percentage more do you charge for fog lights ?
Agreed. Nice! Sounds like you're on the right path. A well optimized website can get you in front of those people Google searching headlight restoration. Getting your portfolio and your Google Reviews is very important when first starting, its the first thing I recommend when getting going. With the average cost to replace $500+ its definitely a cost saving service. Just $10 a fog light. Most fog lights can be a pain to restore/mask off.
