What's up guys.
Welcome back to the Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
I'm Jose,
and today I'm going to be performing
a headlight restoration on this Infinity.
So, this customer brought in the Infinity
because as you can see,
the headlights are oxidized
and it pretty much prohibits the driver
from seeing outside.
Recently we've been getting a lot of
bad rain in California,
so it pretty much makes the driving conditions
pretty bad for her,
so what we're gonna go ahead and do is start off
is by obviously
grabbing our VO7 here,
which is our sprayable sealant.
And we're gonna get rid of the dust on the surface
just to pretty much minimize any scratches
or any imperfections on the actual paint.
So again, spray it onto the towel
and give it a couple mists onto the headlights.
And same concept when you do it with the paint,
always roll your towel as you go,
just to pretty much just minimize any imperfections
from happening on the actual headlight.
So with that being done,
there you go,
all the dirt, all the nasty stuff is off
the actual headlight,
and let's start getting into it.
So today, I decided to use our headlight restorer.
Headlight restorer are one-step, easy to use product
that you just use with either a rotary,
a dual action,
or even a drill.
In this case,
best combination with this is a orange cutting pad.
What I also decided to use today was our rotary.
So,
a rotary pretty much,
for those who don't know what a rotary is,
is pretty much a machine that has six different speeds,
and it only spins on one axis.
So what that means,
as you can see it only spins in one direction
at high rates of speeds.
So what that means,
if you're not quick enough with the rotary,
you can possibly cause any defects on the actual headlight
by possibly burning the plastic,
or even the paint itself.
So with that being said,
let's get started.
Alright guys, so right before we get into anything,
the first and most important step of
your headlight restoration process
is to mask off any of the surrounding edges
of the headlight.
You do wanna do that to prevent any hitting or burning
of the edges on the actual fenders itself.
So let's get started and we'll be right back.
Alright guys, so as you can see
we finished masking off the headlight
just to protect those edges from the actual paint,
and also the rubber pieces
that surround the actual headlight.
So what I decided to do here
was to do a 50/50 split
just to showcase what our headlight restorer can do.
I already applied our medium Hex-Logic cutting pad
on our torque rotary,
and next step will be to lightly mist
our pad conditioner on the pad,
as so,
and just work it in with your hand.
So now pretty much your pad is conditioned
and ready to go.
And what I like to do
is to apply three dime sized dots on the pad.
As so.
And following this
would be
to pretty much spread out the product on your headlight.
[Jose] This helps you prevent any excessive slinging
up onto the paint
or on the plastic pieces,
or on the car.
After you're done spreading it out as so,
turn on your machine,
and turn it on to speed setting one.
So in this case, it will be 600.
(machine whirs)
After it's nice and spread out,
you wanna crank it up two more speeds,
and start working in the actual product.
Alright guys, so there you have it.
That concludes the one-step polish right there,
next step will be to use our Workhorse microfiber towel,
[Jose] just to take off the excess of the product
on the actual headlight
to show and reveal the results of what
our headlight restorer can do.
So obviously as you can see,
there is a clear difference between
the corrected side,
and still the oxidized side.
So let's take off this tape the to reveal that 50/50.
And there you have it.
Alright guys, so as you can see,
you can see the 50/50 difference here
of the polished side and then the oxidized side.
So what I'm gonna go ahead and do
is finish off the headlight,
and once I'm done,
I'm gonna apply our Jet Seal,
which is our one-year protective sealant,
which is going to help you prevent any future oxidation
or hazing on the actual headlight.
