Product Information

The ultimate headlight restoration video in this video, I’ll show you how to restore your headlights to like-new condition using a This kit comes with gloves and a sealant but does not include a towel. The first step is to use the Oxidization Remover wipe over the dull headlights. It's really satisfying to see the yellow oxidization come off on the wipe. Next use the Surface Prep Disc to wet-polish the lens. You'll do this twice, once with 3,000 grit sandpaper and once with 2,000 grit. After thoroughly rinsing and drying the lens, swipe the Clear Coat Wipe across and wait for it to dry. The directions say the lens should not be exposed to any direct moisture for one hour. This headlight restorer provides UV protection and reduces UV damage due to its professional-grade ceramic coating.

Overall, using Restowipe was a straightforward process that didn’t require any special skills or tools. It was a relief to see my headlights looking clearer and brighter after completing the process, and I was eager to put them to the test during nighttime driving. While Restowipe provides a long-lasting solution, the duration of clarity restoration may vary based on environmental conditions and usage. The added UV clear coat is crucial for protecting the headlights from future damage, extending their restored clarity. 5. Can Restowipe be used on other vehicle surfaces? Restowipe appears to have just been introduced because the shop is quite new. It originates from the United States. What is Restowipe? If you don't have or want to use a cordless drill, the Cerakote Ceramic Headlight Restoration Kit is the best headlight kit of the two I tried. It was easier to apply than the Rust-oleum kit and there was no question of which product to use at what step.

I’ve seen other YouTube videos where they sand them down and I’m spraying with a clear coat highly not recommended The right way to fix oxidized Plastic headlights When you’re looking to restore your headlights, finding the right location to do it is key. You need to find somewhere with adequate lighting, but it shouldn’t be in direct sunlight. Not only that, but ensure that the temperatures are well above freezing for the best possible results. 2. Prepare the Headlight You want to do this until you see the fine scratches from the sandpaper everywhere. This completely removes the oxidation from the headlights, and your restoration kit will take care of the small scratches you create in the next steps. How Long Should a Headlight Assembly Last? Polishing your car is a great way to fade small scratches and imperfections. Find out how with our handy guide.

Drying time after step 3 is dependent upon weather conditions. Drying may take longer in lower temperatures or higher humidity.Using regular toothpaste rather than gel toothpaste, apply a layer of toothpaste to each headlight. Use a toothbrush and circular motions to rub the toothpaste into the plastic lenses to remove built-up grit and grime. Rinse with warm water and repeat the cleaning steps as necessary until you are happy with how the headlights look. Another argument is “Clearcoat will peel and can be hard to deal with in the future”. Well, perhaps. If done right, I don’t see why it wouldn’t last 5+ years. Peeling is probably common with poor quality clear coats that are not UV protected (‘indoor-only’) but the big reason is a poorly prepared surface (wax and grease not removed). I’d rather sand off the clear coat that ‘might’ require attention every 5+ years than polish my headlights every few months. Some areas are bound to have experienced more oxidation than others, and sometimes a single coat won’t clear up the trouble areas completely. A second coat eliminates that problem and gives you a crystal-clear finish throughout.
