remove the head light will be easier and u can do a better job

something else to keep in mind, sanding and buffing out plastic lenses is a REALLY great way to make em look new and save a good chunk of change too... BUT after you buff off the hard outer UV coating on a lens, it's a good idea to use some kind of plastic protecting wax, as with some lenses you've ground into the softer plastic and it will pit/yellow even faster:)

There is no info to help viewers watch the videos in order. I personally prefer the headlight restoration video by blkyukon. They tape first and work much cleaner. Sorry, but this guy is pretty sloppy. I can see people creating more work for themselves after watching these.

Keep in mind, Rubbing compound will not last.... It might look clear now but after a few days it will start to haze again without a good sealer. Check out "Xtreme Headlight Restoration Kit" by Xtreme Clarity. No power tools required or polish compounds used.

Can you tell me where you get all the chemicals that you use in this video on the headlights and their names?

shadowrao its a lens you idiot  the globe is inside the headlight. and as for it looking better it will for a short time but will turn yellow again without a uv coating.

@polly018 Yeah Ok cool dont do anything to it and and keep your car looking like shiiit. That sounds like a much better option. Or just spend bout $300 for new headlights.
