Perfect timing man, I was just searching for methods yesterday but there are so many
Best/cheapest "home remedy fix" I've found is Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish. Takes about 2 min w/no elbow grease. It's freaky fast. Costs about 9-10 bucks. Agree with you on importance of adding a UV protection. I just apply a coat of wax over lenses when finished. Amazon sells a spray bottle UV protectant (orange and white bottle) but it costs about 30 bucks.
2nd method - buy wet sandpaper, use lots of water then rubbing compound and wax...longer and more elbow grease but cheap.
I'm doing method 2, just waiting on this heat wave to end
I use the Meguiar's Heavy Duty restoration kit and I've had no complaints with the results. The only real problem with the kit is that there's not enough top coat for larger headlights - other than that it's fine.
Clear and comprehensive 👍
Great presentation ...
Brasso worked for me so far been a month crystal clear. Will wait a while longer and check. But looks great
Thank u for sharing your knowledge and experiments appreciated more videos to come ❤
Yes please a video on Replacing a Master Cylinder 😝👍 Cheers from Bundaberg Australia 🇦🇺🕺🥤
Headlights weren’t very bad to begin with!

Hey handsome. Arm and hammer toothpaste works pretty good
Meguiars plast x works great. If it’s heavy oxidation sand and polish
Thank you sir 😮😅😊
😊 if you're not wet sanding and buffing, you're wasting your time. That oil makes it look nice until you wash it. Then you're right back to square one.
Either use fine fine grit wet sanding or flitz polish or just buy a replacement off Amazon, you know
Will the clear coat standup to power washing?
Baking soda made into a paste with a little muscle and it worked...
hello, my nissan sentra makes some kind of small rattling cricket sound on initial acceleration on low rpm, sounds like metal tin cans rubbing each other and goes away with speed, i checked heat shield , timing chain belt, all looks good and intact, i'm doing extensive research on internet , some say fuel line return and so on, but i couldn't figure out what's wrong with it. wheel bearings all good, No rust underneath car . Any ideas will be appreciated.
Worn out Piston Rings is my guess according to your description of sounds coming only during acceleration. Give some accelerator to the standing car in neutral gear, if blue/white smoke comes from exhaust then surely it is piston rings that means your car has compression leak and burning up engine oil aswell. A further cross check is reduction of engine oil as indicated on dip stick of engine oil. If not then it must be another issue!!
The word is oxidation not oxidization. Not a fair comparison.
I bought brighter bulbs. Done
lol, so did my brother, just looks like an UHU, unidentified headlight unit lol
Can you give us un update a month or two from date you did it?
Agree sounds good an update🤔
plastic is more durable @0:43 than glass? NO!. Cheaper yes
Glass breaks, plastic doesn't.
TESTED ONE KIT? 15 minutes😂.
Hey same ole same ole anyway.
Lots of ever decreasing grit w/dry. Polish and viola!
Or Mothers
What a useless comparison. If you don't sand the others also you can't compare them.
Stop being so cheap and buy new ones.
New ones cost $600 PLUS installation.
