    Love it.. No bullshit, no time wasting, just straight to the point and very informative 💯👌🏻
  • I often wondered if they were sealed from the factory. In recent years the likes of Maguire’s have included an aerosol sealer in their headlight restoration kits. Using 2K lacquer makes complete sense. I saw the top comment about micro cracks etc. At the end of the day this should last a couple of years. When it finally degrades machine sand it off with some 800 and start again. I am so glad I found your channel, a few years ago now. I have used your methods and saved hundreds of pounds improving paint jobs on my cars and repairing scratches etc. Thanks Mr CRV POV, your a legend!
  • I've done aircraft plexiglass, and ALWAYS sand in one direction, then change 90 degrees with next grit, rinse, repeat. This way, you can easily make sure you've removed all scatches from previous grit; otherwise, you may be trying to remove 600 scratches with 1000 grit, etc. Aircraft windshields are large, and of course, if you screw one up you're out of busine$$.

    A proper job. And no unnecessary build up waffle. A true professional.
  • Great job !!! I did the same on my 2004 Lexus GS 300 4 yrs ago. They still look as good as the first day I did them. My car is garage kept also. Only difference in my process is I didn’t wet sand or polish my clear coat after spraying. I sprayed a total of 3 even coats of 2k clear. Looked great so that’s why I didn’t wet sand and polish them. Nice video you did , to the point 👍
  • This is absolutely the best video I've ever seen on this subject. Thank you Sir.
  • This is the best damn video on how to renovate lenses ever! Thank you!

    I find it easier to remove the headlight. No masking or chance of overspray on the car. 45 years in the panel Industry here in Oz. Good job though

    Ive got an old Volvo which Ive done twice now, and that is what I will be doing next time. Great video and thanks for sharing.
  • Absolutely spot on I did pretty much the same thing a few years ago only using Poundland lacquer 🤩 an it’s still looking pretty good today 😎😎😎😎
  • I've done this for decades, doesn't take long, and lasts. ez money maker. Personally i go in one direction per grit, helps for precise details and removing each grits lines. Nice job man
  • Looks absolutely amazing, mate . I'm not sure why I'm surprised as all the work you do looks great .

    Wow what a difference. I’ve been needing to do my headlights for ages and now I know how to achieve a lasting finish. Very informative video 👌🏼
  • @philipatoz
    Super helpful showing each step. Because for one never having done this, putting sandpaper to headlight covers is a scary deal!
  • Good video mate. Like you i have been doing Head Light repairs for years now. I use Meguiars Head Light Coating. After using many products over the years i find this is best. I do not use 2k products on head light... Have a great day...from Kiwi
  • Good tip about warming the can, especially during the winter, I usually stand it on the hall radiator for 15 minutes before shaking again and using. Lovely finish buddy 👍😁
