Now I feel Fkn stupid... I bought a high dollar polisher, several grits of sand paper, soap, buckets, paper towels, microfiber towels, ect to do the same damn job... It was taking me about 15 minutes a vehicle... Damn...
Was the compound applied with a damp
cloth?
I've got one question for you, how long does it stay that clear? Because there have been other products that work just as well but it doesn't last very long, so please comment?
@@jayd6810 Who cares? It took 30 seconds per headlight! I am sure you could do this once a year or every 2 years. But this stuff like all headlight cleaners do, takes off the UV protection (that turns yellow) from your headlights, so he should have said to add a coat of UV protectant which is recommended every time you clean your headlights with chemicals such as this.
Bought it at Wal mart 10.00 dollars.
I miss the old days when headlights never went dull because they were made of REAL GLASS-!!
I know right!
Cheapos Trying To Save a Buck 🤨
I was just thinking about that the other day.
I got told that they started using the polycarbonate lens instead of the glass lens because the glass was a safety hazard for pedestrians!
My thinking is that there’s more of a problem if the driver can’t see the pedestrian in the first place because his headlights have gone yellow.
@@28102650 That reminds me of the elimination of side vent windows being referred to as "astro ventilation" . As opposed to cheapining the vehicle and selling it for the same price.
Like on my Corolla.
No music, no non-sense stories etc etc just gets to the point, double thumbs up!
Yup. Rare...
amen to that
VERY good video. Much better then most that tell us all about their LIFE'S HISTORY or the Neighbor's DOG. Love it. Like Joe Friday on the old Dragnet Series. "JUST THE FACTS". As ALL instructional videos SHOULD BE, Thanks. TP Tuning.
@@trailsendfarm141 I agree .....
I appreciate these videos. No B.S. No 10 min video on a 20 second hack. Wish more were like this.
Thank you from an 80 year old widow who owns a 2001 Saturn. This has been so kind of you to share this information and especially kind of you to demonstrate.
Omg I got a Saturn aura n I really don’t like it to much stuff that goes bad on that car
01 saturns were much more reliable and can easily last upto 300k miles, vs the classic gm badge engineering saturn auras/chevy malibus especially if equipped with the 3.6 v6 they can be real troublesome
Hi Ms Roseanne!
I have a 2002 Saturn SL 255kmiles on it. I'm here for the same reason.
@@uccoskun is it hard to find parts for your car?
I bought and used the Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish on my son's CR-V headlight lenses. Worked quite well. I decided to try the other lens, but I applied the polish with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Big difference! I took out more of the pitting and made the lens even smoother! You should have seen the amount of yellow that was on the magic eraser as well! I went back over to the first lens and re-applied the polish with the magic eraser. Same thing! Much smoother and removed more of the yellowing. I used a soft cloth to remove the rest of the polish, then I gave both lenses a couple of coats of wax. They look fantastic now! Thanks for the tip! Recommended!
What kind of wax? Regular car wax?
How's it holding up for you?
It's amazing how they do not acknowledge your questions with an update.
EXCELLENT ! magic eraser it is !
@@zcustomcarnesi Yeah, it's amazing how the OP's life doesn't revolve around random youtube commenters.
I came across this post a few days ago and the guys at auto zone told me it couldn’t be done but as a single mother I was determined to save money and prove them wrong! I have a 2012 GMC Acadia SLT and the headlights were in such bad shape it was making it almost impossible to see without the brights being ran at night. So I bought the $6 can from my local Walmart and a microfiber towel and started applying small coats doing a little at a time. I took my time and kind of being a perfectionist it only took a few hours. They look brand new! I’m not longer a skeptic in believing I have to rely on the word of technician to get my vehicle repaired. Thank you for your video!
OMG! All you need is a cloth and some brake fluid and wipe them down and they will shine.
They obviously wanted you to buy a new headlight for $120
Can relate! Lol
@@xstreamoneya brake fluid can ruin your paint anywhere it touches
@@benzee1 I wouldn’t put it on paint then just plastic headlights.
Thank you, young man, for this video! I'm a 77-yr-old woman who bought a 2001 Toyota Celica GT last summer just because :) The headlights were in bad shape, so I went looking for a fix, and that's when I found you. I tried your method, and it worked beyond my wildest expectations. My baby's headlights look brand new thanks to you! Thanks, again.
Wow Mrs 77 yr old. You sure are busy on all the DIY videos. Your vehicle must be crystal clean and shiny.
Missuse baking soda and distilled water and buff with micro fiber towel or spend 15 20 dollars on brand name stuffed headlight cleaner is scam I realize this from my detailing friendstore manufactured products to defog plastic knowing they make money on our ignorance homey not anymore 😅I actually paid for a restoration from a shop I regret it is don't be like me.same result cheaper way dit it.
One thing I would add is applying a UV protectant such as "303 Aerospace/Marine UV Protectant" right afterwards after cleaning off the residue, since it's actually UV rays that make plastic headlights yellow and fog up so badly. It's just a pump spray-on liquid that applies in seconds and will help keep it from fogging/dulling out again so quickly.
Why waste time and money when mothers aluminum mag polish does the same if not better and it takes maybe 3-4 mins every 6-8 months
I'm not dissing because if you like it then use it. Its your car and money. But I will say like for instance wd-40 leaves a residue that's difficult to remove. That's why I love the mothers. The more you rub the better. But don't run to hard because plastic lol
@@thatonecrazydudeyaknow285 you could save money because you don’t have to buy more mothers
@@thatonecrazydudeyaknow285 it'll damage the headlight if some too many times
How long does the 303 last for you? It's expensive but I feel that it has a lot of uses for other than just headlights. The headlight issue is always a pain though. Unlike the old glass headlights these need work every half year or so. If the 303 can cut this out significantly it would be worth it in my eyes.
Ok. I watched this and ordered it immediately afterwards. Got it today, tried it and WOW!! Took me 15 minutes all together because they were terrible. Perfectly clear now! You are a superhero for sharing this. Thank you!
I can testify that this works I did it last week both lights done in under 10 minutes. Best headlight restore video on the internet.
Thank you - I have used this before with a buffing pad on a drill and it's so unnecessary, with results no where near as good as doing it manually. Mine took two coats. You made my day - as a 70-year-old - I THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Every year, as a Father’s Day gift, i do a complete detail on my husbands 2002 Toyota Sequoia. In previous years, I would clay bar as part of the process but at 76, I skipped this step since I h@ve family coming in a week.
This is one of the most useful videos I have ever seen, on CZcams ! Simple, yet extremely effective. Thanks !!!
Tried every other cream and liquid, so why not.
You just might be able to use it on your mag wheels too!'A lot are coated in a 'protective' clear plastic so you can't even polish them no more. Just watch the corrosion spots grow after each year of stone damage occurs.
Steel wheels are the best. You can grind/sand/prime/ and repair /them in any colour you want, all for a little time and effort. But like with headlights, there is no 'money' in black steel rims.
@@luckyguy600 I have white steel rims on my 83 Nissan Patrol. They look great and as you say I can respray them like new in a day.
Did this to my '03 Camry. worked great . My wife was impressed at the headlights that actually shined out into the distance. You don't realize how much the dull lenses affect the lights.
I do! Prior to using Mother's Mag, you could drive my grandmother's '97 Chevy Lumina around town with the "high beams" on at night & not get flashed or pulled over. It was terrible!
What is name of cleaner
@@donaldcassidy1592 Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish
Thx!
How long does this last for?
I used this product and my results were astounding. Thank you. When I finished one headlight I was so amazed that I went back to the store where I bought this product to show them the results. They insisted on taking photos of the 2 headlights.
It works! I saw this video two days ago, I tried it today, and it actually freaking works!!!!!! This is awesome!!! Thank you so much!
Had some in my cabinet in the garage so I went right out and tried it. Worked like a charm!! Thanks!!!
yes sir, another beer for this gentleman!!
My daughter has a 2008 Honda cvr has head light issues like this she had cleaned them before but with little success. I was getting ready tp buy her a new set of head lights for about $180.00 then I stumble onto this page, went to home depot and got some of this stuff for less then $8.00 and the difference is truly amazing. I did the process about the same speed that was used in the video and got the same results.
How's it holding up
@@silvercommander the head lights are doing good
My wife and I tried this on each of our cars earlier this evening, and it worked perfectly on both vehicles!
Is it still lasting??
So you buffed hers and she buffed yours?

Was still kind of hard to believe, until I tried it on my ‘05 truck. Wow !! THANK YOU for this inexpensive, time-saving little miracle.
Thank you so much. Took 18years of discoloration off my Ford Focus headlights in no time at all. No going through various grits, toothpaste, buffer pads or expensive kits that aren't very effective. Plus as a bonus, my wife was sooooooooo impressed!
Can you report back on durability? long term effects?
@@Faisal-lb9rf I doubt you will hear a report back. Most folks leave their comments and never look back. I would try it for the cheap price of a small can found on Amazon and see if it works.
@@jeffj318 Another commenter did it and was very happy even 9 months later said still looked great
Are your headlights still looking good?
I used it on a 1998 Avalon. It worked great. I just used an old tee shirt and a small amount of polish. Like polishing a piece of silverware. Very easy. Didn’t need much. Thanks!
Great money saving tip for keeping reliable vehicles look nice! May your kind prosper in the difficult days ahead.
I did this on my 16 year old Nissan Xterra and it worked. I used 3 applications of the Mother's polish and it made a noticeable difference. To help protect against further degradation I then applied 2 coats of Meguier's Keep Clear Headlight Coating, which is supposed to protect against UV for up to a year. We'll see. Thanks for posting this video.
Can you share more info, please? We're your results long lasting after you applied the Meguire's UV protector?
@@cms3052 7 months later and they still look good.
Amazing. Thank you for sharing.
I followed these instructions and repeated the process one extra time
I’d say from start to finish on both headlight took around 45 minutes!
Very happy with the results!
Thank you!
Great video! This truly works. I used to use the expensive restoration kits that used to take at least an hour using a drill to polish in several stages. This process is much cheaper and faster, done by hand, and I could not tell the difference between the expensive kit and this. After doing this, i wiped down the lights with 303 Protectant to provide some UV protection. I did the process twice and each time, it took out crud. I figure doing this every two or three car wash will keep the headlights clear, as it's very easy and fast to do. Thanks to this video!
Another happy (free) customer! Grabbed it from my garage, got a piece of an old towel, and voila ! In 5 minutes per side had good results! I’m sold! Thanks!
Does it last? I only ask because I did something else that worked for maybe a week, but the lights went back to being filmy real quick.
@@mefrankme No, it won't last. You have to use a 2K clearcoat after polishing it.
@@genericusername1365 Thank you 😊
@@mefrankme The easiest by far is Turtle Headlight Restore. Rub it on like car polish, let dry and buff off. You can see the yellow in the towel. One coat lasts a month, but give it another "coat" a week later and it'll last at least 6 months.
@@lennylipe6434 Thanks Lenny😊
wow! impressive - thanks for your honesty and showing how this works
Thank you for making this video! I’ve tried one of those “expensive kits” you mentioned… did a half-*** job and clouded back up within a few months. Today, I’m stopping at my local auto parts store to buy a can and try it.
Used this technique this weekend on my '08 and '09 Honda Ridgelines. I used an old sock. Worked like a charm. Quick and easy. I was set on buying new lenses now I don't have to! Thanks Brother. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Used this for both headlights and what a difference. It worked like a charm. Thanks for the advice and the video.
Question is, how long did it last for before it had to be redone?
It did clear it up a bit but not enough to my liking
You sound happy with the stuff.
I shall endeavor to match your exuberance and buy some 'aluminum wheel polish'
That’s unbelievable how well that worked. I even have some on hand. I used it on my motorcycle wheels. You just saved me a whole lot of work and expense. Thanks for a great video.
I've tried numerous products to restore headlights but after trying this .... WOW! This this is by far the easiest and product I've used. Works great. It works better than Mother's headlight Restore. Much thanks.
I immediately went outside and tried it on my 2009 Honda Accord and it worked! Thanks for sharing!
This stuff works great. I've cleared a few headlights with it in addition to tailpipes, rims, and chrome pieces which it was intended for. I'd be sure to hit the lights with at least some wax if you have it laying around, if not a more permanent UV protectant.
I tried this after watching this video and the Results is AMAZING! It freaking works, period! Thank you! 💯💯👍👍😁😁
I used it on my son’s 09 Honda Fit and it worked really well, just as demonstrated. It is so easy I wouldn’t bother with any spray-on protectors, just give it a quick wipe with the paste every six months or so. Thanks a million.
Greatest Tip video I've seen in years...
Simple, Straightforward, & Short.
Works amazing !!! In just 5 minutes I have brand new headlines . Thanks for the tip.
this stuff made my lights so clear a deer got mesmerized in the street which made me swerve into a lake. when they pulled my car out of the lake the lights still looked great! thanks dude 👍
Only really works if you don't suck as a driver.
I literally just did this to my car and it worked😮😱😁‼️
While wiping off if you see dull spots you have to keep applying layers until they're gone either with elbow 💪🏾grease or a buffer on a low setting as it's clearly visible seeing the yellow tint rub off.
I followed up with Nu Finish also for extra added shine.
I used the Mothers polish yesterday on my Rav4 and Silverado. Worked absolutely amazing and left the headlights looking new and super smooth, no need to put on anything else. You don't need to use a lot either, just a little dab will be fine. Use clean rags. Thanks for the tip, saved me time and money.
Its been a year, how long did the treatment last?
I tried it today and it did a wonderful job ran in house and told my husband I did it like you said I have 2004 Toyota Highlander it looks 😊
Thank you for sharing.
Did they yellow and dull after some time?
I tried this just this past weekend on a 2006 Honda CRV and it worked just as well as it did on this Camry. I plan to do more when the weather warms up and may actually polish the lenses more so I can put a new clear coat to protect them from fogging/yellowing again.
Wow....Just did this on my 08 Accord and the headlights came out looking almost brand new. Thanks so much.
Sometimes, the YT algorithm gets it right. This video appeared on my recommended feed, and I tried it immediately. I recognized the polish right away since that is what I use for the aluminum wheels on my pickup. It did a great job on my wife's Ford Fusion! I grabbed a microfiber towel and the polish, and I couldn't believe how well this works. Thanks a lot for the info!!
Just used this exact method on two vehicles. WOW! It really worked. I went over them three times and was shocked at the results. Thanks a million!
After 9 months how the headlights are? Still clear?
This vid popped up in my recommendations last week. Got the Mother's Mag the other day to use on my grandmother's 1997 Chevy Lumina. It DOES work! Wonderful hack! I paid less than $6 for a jar of this from Walmart. Try this guys👍
Are you pulling my leg? 🤔
Does It Really?
@@superdude7459 it does work but it works better if you use a buffing wheel as well.
@@jduce68
Cool 😎
And Thanks 👍🏽
@@superdude7459 You're welcome🙂
After 3 months, does it still look the same?
Tried on my '10 Cobalt and it worked perfectly. Looks brand new. Thanks, man!
Any method you use to clean up the plastic around headlights should be followed by the application of a UV protectant. The lens clouds up and turns yellow because the stock UV protectant layer has worn out, and UV rays have caused the plastic to cloud. You can remove the outer layer and they look fine. But, without reapplying a UV protectant, they will quickly cloud up again.
So it builds up again! so what? ...take the ONE MINUTE to polish it again! .........It takes you WAY WAY longer to wash your car dont it?
@@jimw7916 Sure, you can take the (much more than a) minute to redo your headlights every 6 months or so ... or you could take the five minutes and $6 to do the job right and add a UV coating ... and not have to touch your headlights for another 5 ~ 8 years.
It's up to you how you want to spend your time. Most reasonable people would want to do a job once in 5 years rather than 10 times in those same 5 years.
I had great results with this. I previously purchased one of those kits to restore the headlights - it did not do much. I followed this up with some headlight sealer and the headlights are nearly good as new. Thanks for posting!!!
Can you report back on durability? long term effects?
No one ever does @@Faisal-lb9rf
Great video; was just about to polish my headlights and was thinking of all the work I would have to do. You saved me a lot of needless scrubbing. Thanks.
Works like magic! Yes much better than other, more steps products. Thanks for sharing.
Omg, it worked!!!!!!!! I had the worst yellow head lights I've ever seen in my life. The only thing is that it left a small tint glare(almost kind of blury) to the eye( you'd have to be stating, to notice) with no effect of the light. I didn't wash it first or nothing just went straight in with the cream. I am so happy I found this. Thank you so much!!! Yup! Im subscribed.
I first had doubts, but for $5, I gave it a try. I’m so sorry I doubted you! This stuff worked like a charm!
Thats a crazy improvement in just 2 minutes yup il be doing this! Thanks man
It works! I ordered a small pot of Mothers on eBay in the UK and just polished my 2000 Toyota Yaris headlights. Amazing results and I'm super pleased. Thanks for the tip as every year my car fails the MOT and I have to pay the garage to polish the headlights to get it through. It only took me ten minutes with a rag and microfiber cloth with no tools. I highly recommend. Steve in Midhurst, UK
Great video! Gonna help my neighbor clear his Silverado's headlights today using the same polish. Thanks!
This stuff worked great I could clearly see the Big oak tree I smashed into with no problem

That’s awesome!! I’m gonna try it
Just did this on my headlights and amazing results for just a few minutes. You can actually feel the headlights getting smoother as you polish them. I plan on going over them again to get even more out.
how long did the headlight stay clear?
@@alneg6234 thats the next question yes.
Did it last?
Works great, used this on my daughter's 2012 Honda Civic head lamps. It was like night and day. But it didn't last long. Only about 3 or 4 days and they were cloudy again
After watching this video, I found my jar of the same product and tried it on my 2003 VW's headlights and achieved the same results just as quickly. Thanks!
Damn! That looked 2 nice 👍🏾🤩, Imma get started right away.
I tried it on my dad’s Camry it’s a 2006.
I used this aluminum polish on my dad’s headlight and it came out like brand new.
So I encourage get this aluminum polish it works great.👍
Outstanding work!! Thank you for the great work Sir
This worked fantastic on my 2010 Corolla!! My mechanic wanted to order new headlight units, not anymore. Thanks so much, you saved me hundreds of dollars, it really works and only cost me $8!
❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the video. tried it out on my accord headlights. Work amazingly good! Also did my bosses Evo8 headlights!
If that was 9 months ago how are they looking today?
On my Jeep, the plastic lenses had a clear coat that had gone yellow. I bought the 3M kit and sanded it out. Worked like a charm. This would be great to maintain the lens for sure.
It works! You can use painter's tape to protect the paint around the headlight.
Watched, bought mother's polish, did it, and I am super happy with the results......👍👍👍👍👍💥💥💥💯💯💯💯💯💯
A beer for this guy! Good job
🍺🍻
You just blew my mind.
I did the same thing with Meguiar's PlastX clesner. It made a big difference, but it didn't get all that needs to be removed. It will require more work and possibly sanding, just like yours does. You can see the areas that still need work on the second light you did.
I just tried this on my 2013 Lexus. It WORKED!!! Took 5 minutes to clean both headlights. Looks like new.
This video really helped me, thank you. I had done the sanding with 400, 600 & 1500. But I could not figure out why the headlights on my ‘05 were not clear. Ran down and got some Mother’s polish and that did it! They look new now!
You need to use grit sandpaper 2000 than 3000 than 5000....You will never get a smooth NEW LIKE HEADLIGHT if you only stopped at grit 1500....You need to use Polishing compound after you finish using grit 5000....
@@dorkyrouge3372 could you use Mother's instead of polishing compound?
@@deepdude4719 I actually just use the turtle wax finishing compound....doesnt really matter what compound you use...its your persistansy in sanding your headlight to a smooth finish....really make sure you only go in one direction....
Great tip, and I'm going to try it. That said I usually open my hood when polishing my headlights as it makes it a little easier. Great job!
Great tip! I'm laughing at myself for not thinking of it!
Thank you it got the head lights right again. Very clear and clean 👌
This absolutely works!!! Saved me over 600.00 plus labor. My headlights look factory quality new.
Very impressive, especially because it was done by hand! extremely fast result. I would have expected that using a polisher or drill or something. Great job.
I love this quick way, and it is easy.
That was Awesome!!!! I am a senior and this is so much easier than the sandpaper method.....I would recommend this to seniors because it is so much easier and you would probably get more subscribers, just a suggestion.
A senior in high school no doubt..😏 I too am a senior and it gets harder and harder to see at night. This stuff will surely help.
@@macsloan58 a what in what 🤣🤣🤣
I would still use a clear coat UV spray paint after .
Finally someone made a video of this...ive been using aluminum polish on headlights for years...its so easy and works every time. If you have a polisher, you can use it on a buffing pad too. Youll have them looking like the day you got the car...but i recommend putting a coating on after you clean it. Otherwise itll just get dirty again very quickly.
Tried this out on my Ford Escape this morning and it worked great. Thanks
Been using Mothers on headlights for years, quick and easy. A little more elbow grease with a rag than with a polisher but both work great. I expect any metal polish paste would work. Also works on the paint around the headlight. 🙂
@@guitarman_3693 Glad to help. The Mother's compound is a little different than you describe, it is strictly micro abrasives in a paste, no muriatic acid. Also about aluminum oxidation, it happens in seconds so that most of the time when you observe it there is already an oxide layer on it, this is sort of like corrosion preventing more corrosion. Aluminum is unique in that to the eye it looks clean and bright but there is an oxide layer, even on polished aluminum. It's a great unique metallurgy of aluminum. Muriatic acid is quick and easy but it requires very thorough rinsing to stop any micro reaction from continuing and weakening the metal. Basically needs pressure washing. Long term it can weaken the metal and cause failure and is generally not recommended for critical applications like in aerospace. In HVAC continued use could result in eventual need for system replacement but that could be a good thing for other reasons.
I just now tried this and yes it does indeed work
Ty for that info & awesome demonstration. Just what we needed.
Worked way better than expected! Thanks.
aluminum polish works great !!
