hi folks anthony here at diy auto tech do you have some foggy headlights that you need to restore well we got just the video for you today so the only tools you're going to need to restore those foggy headlights to nice glossy uh brand new headlights is something like we have here we've got our turtle wax headlight lens restore kit which comes with the two types of spray here we've got our lubricant and we've got our lens compound comes with a couple different grits of sandpaper and then all you're going to also need is a nice microfiber cloth that's clean and maybe some soapy water first step we're going to want to do here is make sure that headlight's nice and clean now we've already soaked it off the night before but take a rag and hit it with some water and just make sure it's nice and clean and then we'll be able to move on to the next step alright guys so our next step here is going to be to apply our lens clarifying compound onto the actual lens of the vehicle now with this step keep in mind that you can remove paint with this stuff so it is a very good idea that if you're going to be doing this at a quicker rate to maybe mask off the outside edges of the lens but for now we're just going to take our time and make sure to go around the edges smoothly all we're doing is rubbing in this compound here and we're going to use as much as necessary making sure not to hit any of the paint whatsoever now with this you also want to use a firm pressure on the on the cloth all right now what we got to do is take the clean side of that microfiber cloth and just buff it all out now on some foggy headlights this will work and this is the only step necessary however if you want them to be a little brighter we got to move on and do a couple other steps which involves the sandpaper i'll show you how to do that next alright guys so the next step uh if your headlight actually isn't restored yet to you know what you want it to be basically what we're going to do is we're going to be using these sanding pads that come in basically all the kits they're all pretty generic and they're all just different grits of sandpaper you know starting from like for instance it might hit the green one is the roughest grit and then it goes down to a smoother grip all you're going to do is you're going to take your uh spray lubricant you're going to put on the headlight and then you're going to start sanding away with the thickest grit first firm pressure going back and forth then the next piece of sandpaper you can use in a different direction up and down and so forth and then you go down to the smallest grit and then we'll reapply the compound and wipe it off it's necessary we'll keep doing this until the headlight comes out the way we want to i'm just spraying the lubricant there and i'm just going to rub back and forth any water drippage catch with a rag and you can literally start to see all that fogginess and that color coming out of the lens we'll move on to the next pad spray a little more lubricant on there and i'll go in the opposite direction remember to catch all that excess liquid that's dripping off the pad there now we'll go down to the last pad and with this one i'm just going to do a little circular motion i'll take the dirty side of the rag wipe all this off start all over again applying some compound to the headlight surface rubbing it in as if we're waxing the car now we'll take the clean side dry it off and already man we can see a huge difference but the headlight is actually a couple shades less in uh the yellow tinge as it was before so it's a really good product it's pretty cheap you can get it for a couple bucks you can get them done really good in about 20 to 30 minutes so if you need some headlight restoring done you need to get your visibility up without spending too much money on bulbs this is going to be the way to go it's been another video from anthony at diy auto tech we'll see you next time yeah
