- Hey, what's up guys?
Welcome back to the Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
So on our previous IGTV video
we had a lot of comments saying,
"Show us how to polish out headlights in a single step."
So in this video I'll show you guys
how to polish out your headlights
in one single step using headlight restorer.
If you have not checked out our IGTV video,
I recommend heading over to our Instagram @chemicalguys
and checking them out to yourself.
But let's get back to this video.
So in this occasion I already went ahead
and taped up this Lexus headlight.
You guys can see it's severely oxidized.
Before I begin this process I'm actually gonna ahead
and get Speed Wipe just to knock off any loose grime
or debris that might be sitting on the surface.
I'm gonna spray it onto my towel,
just how we get lubrication, and I won't get over spray.
I'll be wiping in one direction to remove,
like I said, the loose grime and debris.
'Cause you never wanna work on a dirty headlight
because if you do work on dirty headlight,
you might be rubbing the contamination or the grime
into the plastic repeated scratch it
or you could even just damage it permanently.
Once it's already cleaned, I'm gonna go ahead
and get my tape so I can show you guys a 50 50.
Go ahead and cut off a piece of tape.
Put it like so.
Put it down the middle the headlight.
Make sure it's flat.
So now I'll go ahead and get my drill
with my medium orange Hex-Logic cutting pad.
We do offer these in four inch, five inch, and six inch.
And then I'll get my headlight restorer.
Simply shake up the product before using,
and then I'll go ahead and apply three dots onto my pad.
One, two, three.
And after I already have product onto my pad,
we always recommend using a pad conditioner.
So I actually have pad conditioner
in my secondary sprayer bottle.
Simply spray it twice to reduce friction
onto the plastic and reduce heat.
So, if you guys do have a drill with speed settings,
we recommend spreading out the product in speed setting one.
In this occasion, I do not have speeds on this drill,
so I'm just be a little bit more careful
or even just dab out the product
just so you won't get any sling or splatter.
And as you guys can see I put the cord over my shoulder.
The reason why I did that was to reduce the chance
of me scratching up the paint with the cord.
So I'll dab out the product,
and now I'm actually just gonna spread it out.
(drill revs)
Once the product has been spread out,
we recommend working it in
until it turns translucent or clear.
(drill revs)
And just like that in one single step
I actually went ahead and restored my headlight.
Simply just buff off any product,
and I'll go ahead and take off the tape
just like a reveal the before and after.
The before and after.
One cool thing I love about this headlight restorer
is actually it actually has a sealant embedded into it.
So if you actually drive off and forget to seal
up your headlight, it's not gonna turn yellow over time.
If you guys do wanna further your protection
on your headlights, we recommend either applying a sealant
like JetSeal or enhance the beam effect like HydroSlick.
