[raf2050]

Lol i didnt even read ur description box haha my bad

[raf2050]

Holy crap u treat ur e39 like crap! U should buy some new foglights and it seems like u dont wash it often so just do those simple tasks and your car will look nice again:) who know u might even be able to do another DIY video like that.....

[badijan]

thanks .. I will try it soon on my Car

[neuregel]

why cant you sand in a circular motion?

[Avenged7evenXold]

I can clearly see that you forgot to sand your other cars headlights in the back.

[Brndon076]

Great Video! will be doing this tommorow

[TheKIDDERz]

I just did this.. I accidently sanded some of my paint, can somebody please tell me how to blend it to get rid of the ugly sand rash I have on my bumper now?? :(

[MarxPennsWrite]

Very informative, wish you had made more videos.

[9rexx]

so I did all this but scratch lines still seem a bit noticeable... is there anything i can do to buff them out? besides that they came out perfect!! i had already tried using toothpaste and that was a fail, thanks for uploading!

[jkmusik]

I messed up and used the wrong grit and my headlight is scratched, can I fix it with the right grit?

[Lasarius2010]

@jkmusik Its possible to make them much less noticeable if you used something around 250-400 grit, but anything less than 250 is likely scratched too deep to restore

@pablo2809

Regulaar sandpaper is what I used. Just make sure of the grit level of the sandpaper you are using.

@wrxstiturb0

I've never had a problem with a 'protective layer'. With this wetsanding and polishing method, you're baasically refinishing the headlight lense.

As for the second question, I have yet to do it a second time to that car as there's been no need, although some people have reported having to redo it a few months later.

[wrxstiturb0]

i have few questions i would like to ask...first off, if you wet sand the headlights, doesn't it messed up the protection layer? and second, does the headlights stay clear like that or it gets dull few months later? im about to do my headlights and just making sure before doing it. thank you

@gazket

Lmfao your retarded

[pablo2809]

Nice video man!!!! Should I use some automotive specific sand paper or any sand paper would be fine???

Thx!!

[MrThreeflow]

@gazket

If you MUST insist on proving your lack of intelligence to the world with such neanderthal comments, do it elsewhere cave man.

[gazket]

A good car would have glass headlight lens, not shity plastic

[ImSoJohnDeleted]

[MrKalientito69]

[isurfu2ube]

Great Video Mate :) I got Mothers Polish kit! it comes with a Headlights Ball that goes on the drill!

[MarcePGG]

Very Good video !!!

[carsaleforyou]

Just finish my headlights... DUDE! YOU ARE THE MAN!

[ARandomCanadian]

That stuff works but you gotta do it every year, I'm gonna try polishing it with a pad

[r0llindubs]

turtle wax has a kit you can get for $25 that has everything in it. works same as this

[Zaczann]

MAKE MORE VIDEOS Bra 

[electricity007]

[CainPire]

Good video for your first. Better than most. Good Job!

[vboyz16]

[italianobelle]

Haha, you're awesome :)

[MrThreeflow]

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys!

I am happy in knowing the information in this video has helped other people with a solution :)

[CarScratchRemover]

Nice video demo! The before after with the lights at night is dramatic and makes the point...well done.

[abes4u2]

Nice video, I have been using the wet sanding method and I have been getting some really great results.

[rjaybay]

wow! thanks for the help. i have a 2000 e46 and i followed your steps. worked perfectly. thanks again

[adricist]

Had some really yellow and ugly looking headlights on my 96 E39. Followed your logic .... Wet sanding with 1000 grit, then 2500 grit, and then used a 3M Plastic restorer with a buffer. The lights have come up perfect! Thank you!

[MrThreeflow]

@adricist

No problem, my pleasure :)

[vidad74]

[nuttersandy]

Thanks, Good Video!

[MrThreeflow]

For those of you who may be wondering how long it takes to sand/polish your headlights, after I had finished recording the video I went ahead and did the second headlight, which took me less than 5 minutes. Good luck to all!
