I'll be doing my wifes 2014 nissan altima next week hope it turns out good,I'll let you know
Not all Heroes wear capes! Thank you HRP.
Thank you appreciate you for watching and that's very true...👍🏽💯
Hello, I'm just starting to deal with polishing and detailing. I'm still learning and trying it out. I would be happy if you could tell me the exact brands and types of preparations with which you are most satisfied. I have in mind polishing pastes, varnish
I suggest you watch the videos a couple of my videos if not all there are plenty of..
Also everything I use day to day is listed in the bio..
Thank you for watching...
This video alone is worth of gold nuggets, i watched this video multiple times just to absorb it and put it into action, just started two weeks ago, I already got my investment back double, thank you very much for your video
Yes it's pretty crazy if you buy all the supplies and tools you literally get your investment back within one or two have I Restorations everything after that is all profit....💯
Maybe not mentioned as much, but I think it should be, is the fact that your videos are very well done. I think some folks do not understand how much skill it takes to edit and produce quality content. Great work!
Thank you very much it's definitely not easy some of these videos take about 16 hours to produce, when you add in driving to the place and doing the work and filming editing and doing other stuff it's a lot ... Really appreciate you noticing.....🙏🏽💯👍🏽🤓
Of course I run into this video you did 7 months ago after my light bulb moment of combining 3M and Chemical Guys from the video testing all the products yesterday. I should have known the HRP would be miles ahead of me....I do love learning from you, every video reveals a bit more understanding.
👍🏽 make sure to watch them all you might miss something
I just did my 2011 Corolla the other day and did my lady’s 2015 Camry today. Both sets of headlights were heavily oxidized and had never had anything done to them. My Corolla lights came out great (my 1st try doing headlight restoration) and her Camry lights came out very good but not quite as clear as the Corolla. I literally bought everything you linked in your bio, all the tools. I used a roughly 50/50 mix of the Chemical Guys and the 3M Perfect It for polishing.
It’s curious that my Corolla headlights came out a bit clearer than her Camry’s 🤔 given that the Corolla is older. Either way it’s a great start and I couldn’t be more grateful for your exhaustive research and wealth of information. Thank you 🙏🏽
I’ll tinker with the ratios and try out The Treatment as well as Flitz polish too.
Next I’m going my 2005 Lincoln Town Car headlights.
I must say your work is amazing and I have started my journey on doing headlight restoration and i hope to get the same quality one day excellent work
If you watch as many of these videos as you can you'll be so in tune and confident that you'll be able to produce this level of quality sooner or later.. I had to achieve this level through blood sweat and tears research and all kind of practice and experiments I did not have a channel like this to view only fake channels with a Joe schmo who's done one headlight restoration showing you how to do it...
If I had this in the beginning I couldn't imagine how far I would be now..
This is the most consistent method out there user-friendly for professionals and DIY...
Thank you for watching and good luck on your headlight restoration venture..👍🏽😁
⭐PS -over 130 videos now streaming on this channel
Wow, I may have to shift gears into the chemical restore/3M polish, truly amazing and beautiful.
Awesome ... it's pretty Interesting..
Bruh you are truly the man I am a detailer and I want to get to this level at headlight restoration any advice I watch you all the time best by far
Thank you man I appreciate it..
It sounds cliche but really I literally watch all my videos my old ones up to my current and whatever I post...
Just because I had to fend for the truth in do my own leg work and research and all this shit in the beginning and go through trials and trouble and issues and all this shit because there was nothing like this out here two three years ago just a bunch of scams and people not trying to show people what to do... If I had this channel when I started I'd be light years ahead of how good I am now which I can't even imagine...
And best tips is just get your practice in implement the things that I say and do and it's okay to watch others but you already know what time it is.... The proofs in the pudding and I have done so much research and tried so many different ways and so many tests and experiments that this is truly legit this is what the evolution of my headlight restoration process has turned into and even with my continued research studying and test I have not found nothing else to implement or take over what I'm doing nothing hits this level..
Thank you for your continued support..
Once you get this down it's like clockwork you'll hit this level every single time...
Also just dropped the new video like an hour ago..
czcams.com/video/oc587CfXcf0/video.html
@theheadlightrestorationpro bout ti go watch it I may sound crazy but looking at your work I be bout to literally cry cause that's where I want to be I can Honestly say you are the best out there by far one love bruh from a fellow up and coming headlight restorer ,I want to become the best over here on the east coast keep up the Magic bruh
Hell yeah man appreciate it.. just keep always learning.. some people just do one thing and don't want to know anything about it as long as you keep learning you're always going to get better..
So amazing....your work is so much better than anything I've ever seen on the internet or in life ..this method is awesome and I'm going to change mine to it...
Thank you ....😮
You are very much correct and much appreciated...thank you...
I’m always learning from you. I like that you’re refining your process to make it even better going forward. Keep up the great work! I’m always watching out for your next video
Cool man..
Really appreciate your support and I hope you continue viewing plenty more to come and plenty more up..
Have you ever tried a 2 inch backing plate/interface pad and trimmed ✂️ the sanding disks and/or the finesse it buffing pad down to fit? Seems like this setup could be helpful for tricky lights with multiple tight corners and narrow spots.
You’ve done thousands of lights so you’re the man to know if this is worth a try or not really worth the effort or even necessary. 🤷🏻♂️
Another way to do headlights nice work. 👍🏼 so many people got their own methods. It's great to choose the you like and try it for yourself.
True initially there's only right ways and wrong ways those are the two categories... This of course being one of the right ways.. in my opinion and in my observations professional the best way.. I research and watch everybody's work and I don't see anything close to this... The clarity and the science behind it far as headlight health are light years ahead..
Thank you for watching..👍🏽💯
@@theheadlightrestorationpro I'm differently going to try this. Great results. 👍🏼
Awesome 👍🏽😎
Your videos are both educational and entertaining.
Hey thank you very much I do my best.. really appreciate you viewing...🤩
Think I like polishing first and then restore next but agree both work.
👍🏽
Thanks for the video. I been watching your channel. Going to get good results using your method. How to motivate myself to get the tools and supplies. Needs to be done!
Awesome I have a link to everything in the bio to Amazon where I purchased on my stuff just to trusted place with the best return policies.... Generally the cheapest deals... Really appreciate you watching plenty of videos up and more to come so stay tuned...💯👍🏽
Thanks champ
how do you dry sand with out burning the lence i tryed it once the after they looked good but then it was like small cloudy circle
Bloody good job mate!
Can you recommend which videos to start with for a beginner? Have a 3 in DA polisher, and only a dewalt cordless. Do have 3 in sanding pads. Ty dude. You are super knowledgeable!
Honestly I'd start at my oldest video I work your way up...
But probably before that I would watch the video that's titled why do headlights go bad?
Also the da can get it.. but I would invest in a high-powered high-speed polisher 3 in rotary... Like the AC Delco I use-I use this one cuz it's pretty much perfect for the job durable and you come by as many batteries as you need some of them you can't buy extra batteries unless you buy a new device... But here's that video I will start with and then I would watch from the oldest videos up to the newest definitely put your game above most in your area I'm sure...🤓👌...czcams.com/video/tnCdU2j5Ja0/video.html
This is very good work. I tried it and can’t nearly get the same results. I pit the same clear and it becomes blurry
You must be doing something different... You probably put two clear coats or something you need to pay attention to what I'm doing if you're not doing exactly what I'm doing one little thing is going to make a difference I've tried it many ways I've done hundreds of lights over a thousand by far probably about two now so trust me if you're not doing what I'm doing be true to yourself and know that you're not doing what I'm doing and it's going to come out not the same
Do you ever have lights that you start with 800 grit instead of the 500?
Yes there's a couple videos where I have started with the p800 which hope that you know is different than an 800...
I believe this one is one you should take the time to look through the catalog of videos because this one actually says started with the p800...😀
czcams.com/video/WXUWWF47Kys/video.htmlsi=0EktoGJLX67UAYtN
Great job!!! How long did it take you to get that good and confident that you won't make a mistake?
And how long did it take you to tape off the lights? You don't have to answer but I always wanted to ask you about the guy/people who just sand down with 500 then 800 and then spray. I'm confused because it comes out looking pretty good.
They come out looking good and I can do that as well but I refuse to sell something that's going to mess up the headlight and many different ways and give it poor headlight health in the long run and also that will make your headlights perform at a substandard rate literally the difference between this method and the method you speak of is about 30 to 50 of lighting and extremely high ratio of long-term damage and deformities of the headlight just by the nature of doing it this way.. they don't look as good but they look decent when done this way but there's a bunch of stuff behind it that you definitely don't want to done this way... Some say splitting hairs but it's really not headlight health is serious... In 30 to 50 yards of serious.... We on the freeway are driving at night this is a huge difference there's been studies done on it.... In a couple of my videos I explained to him what I'm doing is replicating the way the factory makes them and seals them.. there's a reason why they do it this way and that's for Max efficiency the factory does not spray headlights foggy for a reason because they won't obtain that Max safety efficiency and they would probably fail safety tests... Food for thought... Appreciate you watching check out some of the other videos and you'll see what I'm talking about particularly one already at this one I'll just add the link...
czcams.com/video/LC4ZBu02JZg/video.html
Hi dude!! I've a question for u. How do you charge for this works? Thank you
Hope you can help me with the sanding pressure. I think its too much. Even with the double sponge
👍🏽
So, from watching this video, if the combo of 3M and Chemical Guys is superior why not do it every time? Just a learning question brother! Great job as always!
Superior to what...? I don't remember ever saying it was Superior in that context..
Also nothing available is more Superior did the 3M hard lens plastic cleaner..
I think I erased your last comment on accident...
But anyways the stuff that I use and recommend is discontinued.. although it is still available to purchase it is scarce..
And will continue to be so until it disappears..
Nothing compares to it let's just get that out..
But certain combinations and certain other headlight compounds can come close but are a little bit different..
So I was just showing you that one of these has super high cutting ability and the other is super endowed with beneficial oil mix them together they balance each other out into one crazy good product...
I still have some left in a bottle…. Wish I bought more 🤣🤣🤣
@07wrxtr1 👍🏽
The one thing you could do to improve the video is to back that camera off to see the final result. 100% up close and personal doesn't enhance the final product.
Not sure what you mean.. up close and personal shows that there's no flaws and shows the level of perfection there is..
People who shoot their video from afar are scared to do this because they're end product is not as perfect..
If you look at a lot of people showcasing their work or businesses they shoot from afar because their product is shit I shoot up close because if they look that good up close they're going to look good from anywhere...
But thanks for the interesting take..
And thank you for watching..
PS...I do what you're saying in most videos..
czcams.com/video/4a95Lu16QVc/video.htmlsi=P1XHN0KKRmy581f1
@@theheadlightrestorationpro yep i get what your saying and its good but in the end it would be good to see the whole shot of the entire front end, all lights, after the final closeups. Very good work BTW.
@garyhennessey3621 👍🏽
if someone wanted to start a headlight restoring business and used the same equiptment and supplies you use and became a competent restorer how would he set his pricing structure
First of all you have to factor in things... What do people charge in your area far as reptible businesses not the guy asking to do headlights at Walmart..
Price yourself in compared to that thing that you're a beginner the honestly assess you're worth far as your skill level and what you can produce..
If you use this method and get good at it.. you will dominate anyone around you doing this. Far as pricing you need to factor in the years how difficult the vehicles are and things like distance traveled and whatever else decided..
how do u keep them from getting dull again? any sealants?
Basic proper vehicle maintenance goes a very long way when people don't take care of their vehicle that good it rolls downhill to the headlights...
But what I use for mine which have kept him good for way over the time they should have been is aftercare which you will see in this video...czcams.com/video/kIur4XxYjDk/video.htmlsi=k1crucS7bsiPGfrr
Just a fantastic results!! Question could your method regarding mixing these two polishes together 50/50 work as a after care as well? As i know the wet wax by C/ guys contains UV blockers!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise 🤔🙂👍🇬🇧
Well probably not... Just because any kind of compound is going to be abrasive or more abrasive than any kind of Polish... It's remover in a leveler... So I wouldn't advise it...
Thankyou so much👍🇬🇧
Anytime!!!!
Hi is it common to see scratch when the light is on?
Depends on how in-depth your work is... Always got to check your work.. always going to have a smooth hand. Light pressure in first and foremost pay attention to the instructions I provide in countless videos.. and you should be okay.. shouldn't see them if you check your work and make sure they're not there before you coat.
@@theheadlightrestorationpro thank you i will check carefully each time.
Not sure what im doing wrong. I use the 500, 800, then 3000 trizac and use the nice polish from meguiers and use the damping method and looks amazing untill the clear coat then it looks shit again. Its 28 degrees out here . I figure its hot enough to use outside with my mask. I resand it with the trizac by hand polish it one more time then clear coat lighter then it looks clearer then a thick coat that runs
I don't know you're not doing what I do...
If you don't have a polisher yet, is it alright to use the drill to polish in the meantime? Would it affect the results in any significant manner?
@@danladimoore9641 I get that to go that one step further I'd need a polisher, but it's great to hear that I won't be sacrificing too much quality for the time being.
@@rudygabrielperdomo9523
Using the HRP method, instead of 3M polish, I used meguiars plasticX with a drill. Good results, enough to improve nighttime visibility.
Get some jobs under your belt and invest in a polisher.
You could use it and you can produce a pretty good product.. but with that being said it won't be anything like this it's lacking the speed via RPMs which means it's lacking a certain level of heat... It would do something but none of this level... You would have to have these high-powered polishers...
You can do it but yes it is a drastic significant difference there is a reason why I use it... Somebody will tell you that it's close to or something like that that's because they're an educated and they haven't done enough headlights... Trust me it's like on a scale of 1 to 10 you could produce a 4 without the polisher... With a polisher you could produce a 10 sometimes at 11....💯🤓
Is the Air Duster that you use in this video your favorite go to Duster? I'm looking to buy 1 but don't know which to get. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Yeah it is everything that I have on the page is the best go to it's all the things that I use in the bio... I'm a researcher and I researched to find this that's why I have it..👍🏽
@theheadlightrestorationpro thank you very much
👍🏽
What is your opinion on Meguiars PlastX?
It sucks...💯
But it smells good 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's one thing McGuire's does have over everybody they do have the best smelling products..💯
How many layers of tape do you usually put on along the edge of the light to protect the paint from the drill.
Here ya go....

@@theheadlightrestorationpro I watched both thank you
Awesome 👍🏽😎
@@theheadlightrestorationpro in almost all your videos I hear a door bell… am I right ?
No it's a ring.. sound effects usually put them where important things are said or done before during or after..
I tried a dozen of times . I put pressure when i sand with the drill but then it comes out in blotches like worse then it started . Black clouds mixed with the faded sanded part
Have to do what I say on the video and do it like I do on the video if you wanted to come out the way it comes out when I do it..
@@theheadlightrestorationproi really did what you did . I watched your videos so many times . It’s probably the dewalt drill is to fast . My name is Barry by the way nice to be in contact with you. I dig it . Every you do!! Very nice work. Maybe ill get the same drills as you and pads . To do the same job. I appreciate your feedback. Its the experience process i am going through. I want to show you pics in the chat but don’t know how . Could you add the link i. Here so i can go straight there to show you my impressive work. I wont give up ! I will master this . Just need a hand and pictures to show . Thanks so much. Your a super star!!!👊🏻👊🏻🤟🏻
I was just going off of what you listed you did and it's not what I'm doing so if you're having any issues probably the reason...
Thanks for watching
Thank you . I will pay attention to every detail . Il keep trying . The mix is 70-30 . The meguiers 70 and 3m cutting polish
Works the best with the oils in meguiers and just enough to cut to a nice glossy finish. Hope you enjoy. Can you show me on a spare light. How i get theses black coulds on bmw lights
And you forgot to mention the name and type of umbrella covering you use. Thanks
Yeah I realize that afterwards..lol but like I said everything I use should be in the bio..
Didn't see the umbrella in the bio... I could see many uses for it... I saw some on Amazon but would like to support your channel if you have a link for the one in the video... Thanks!
My bad I have to update it I thought it was in there on one of the next videos coming up if not the next it'll be showcase a little bit more.. and I will update it in the bios but for now here's the link that will be in the bios soon..(this is the exact one that I have used for the past two and a half years) looks like a charm blocks 100% of the light.. it's called The Wonder shade..

I also just updated it on this video with the link.... Thank you for watching..💯

Love your videos. What would cause the meguairs headlight coating to dry with a sort of textured finish to it? I use your steps of 500, 800, trizact 3k, 7800rpm with clear lens polish.
Could be a bunch of things.. for the tune that strike a bell in my head is what polish did you use? Also did you hold the sprayer far enough away or better yet too far away? And did you follow my instructions with one layer or did you do too?..
