Acrylic-Werks Headlight Restoration w/ "Plumber's Pants" Incident

In less than 5 minutes, see how Acrylic-Werks Polish restored foggy, milky headlamps (that would barely pass inspection) to almost new condition. This short film will show you the short easy steps involved in restoring most headlamps to a like-new condition. The same technique can also be used on any painted surface, hard plastic, rubber seals, wiper arms, and b-pillars, and many other surfaces.
We filmed this while we were having lunch at Five Guys Burgers. A customer pulled in and we could not help but notice the sad condition of the headlights on his Nissan Maxima. So we asked if we could do a free demo on his car headlamps and film it. He said he had tried several products (which obviously failed) to improve the condition of the lamps. He agreed to let us demonstrate the polish on his car and you can see the results for yourself.
About 3/4 of the way during filming, someone came out of the restaurant and warned me (I was filming while kneeling down) that I had a serious case of "plumber's pants" and since my back was to the glass fronted restaurant, I apparently gave the folks in the restaurant quite the show through the large glass windows!
Nonetheless, you can see how well Acrylic-Werks Polish worked on these headlights. Check us out on Facebook for more before/after photos!

people its dust 

[waynebradby]

@MrAlexmoto500...good grief, I guess you've never seen cloudy headlamps. I guess you think all cloudy headlamps on the road are caused by "dust". If you had bothered to read to read the comment below, we've already acknowledged that the car was dirty. We have many more videos and photos (with clean cars, no less!) that show that Acrylic-Werks works as we say. (and thousands of knowledgeable customers (who can tell the difference between "dust" and cloudy headlamps) that believe in the product!

Fake.... you can tell dust was sprayed at the car, notice the paint is being cleaned with it. It'd be a lot more believable if you at least wiped it before applying product... haha FAKE:)

[waynebradby]

@Pu7Vk3rz: What kind of device do you have that sprays dust at a car? It was a very dirty car, nothing more. It was a total stranger who pulled up at a restaurant we happened to be eating at. Obviously in cleaning the lens, the rag is going to touch parts of the car & it certainly did remove some of the dirt. There are many other videos of Acrylic-Werks cleaning headlamps AND a variety of other surfaces. If you can't tell the difference between dirt & a cloudy lens, just go buy a new one.

[waynebradby]

Just to be clear, you can still use Acrylic-Werks on a lens that has been teflon or clear coated. You may have to use a sanding process to remove that coating. After that,, touching up with AW polish is all you need. Using the compounds that come in kits and contain abrasives only cause your headlamps go back to a cloudy condition eventually.

[waynebradby]

@joseph/...glad to hear about the positive results. Unless you have a teflon or clearcoat lens, Acrylic-Werks polish will bring your headlamps back to like-new condition. It's certainly a lot cheaper than getting new lamps from the dealer at $200 and up per lamp!

@MrAlexmoto500 Maybe we can get MythBusters involved so they can show us how to get dust in the can....get it to stick to the lens and then remove it for our video....or maybe we can just give them a bottle so they can duplicate the results on a complete strangers car?

[GonzalesAcrylicWerks]

@MYM45ONTUBE - thanks for the nice words. Could you let Mr Alexmoto500 & Pu7Vk3rz know how easy it was to remove your pre-applied lens dust? All kidding aside, we appreciate the response and don't forget that this polish can be used on the rest of the vehicle. Check out the other videos. Thanks again.

@waynebradby Just a quick addition. If your vehicle came from the factory with coated or filmed headlamps start the Acrylic-Werks immediately so they do not fail later. I have 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT that stays outdoors full-time. If there is one compliment I get on a regular basis, its about how clear my headlamps are, especially from other Caravan owners. The van is here in Bahrain now with 99,978 miles and the sun has had no affect. The best advice, be proactive.

I just received my bottle today through eBay and It cleans up headlights very good! Although if your headlight are really messed up I'd recommend using the headlight restore sanding kit bur use acrylic werks to polish! My Infiniti m45 headlights were restored about a year ago. They got cloudy a lil And 5 minutes later they are like new =]

If you want to learn the sanding process, check out the Mercedes headlamp restoration (long version) video. This should help anyone wanting to do this on their own. Just make sure sanding is necessary by cleaning the lamp 1st and then check for a peeling surface, usually milky white.
