This guy definitely loves to detail !

The guy in this video must have lungs similar in size to a Humpback Whale, as he NEVER seems to take a breath!
I'm not sure why he felt it important to mention he has 20" arms; maybe those poilshers are heavier than they look
Anyway, the info presented might be good (although he recommended NOT to use 2K products like _JB_ uses). He gives a cryptic comment that it can cause "side-effects".
It would appear there are several ways to polish headlights. I havent seen any that last very long (yet), and that seems to be the common issue.
I appreciate people posting their information and what works for them, though.

He is proud if his 20 inchers! Wonder what mods he has on his ride!
I usually use 600 and as soon as you spray clearcoat it makes the lens crystal clear, I'll usually do 2-3 coats. Use 2000 to remove any orange peel then a polish to clean the lens up.
Its more or less like painting and if needed paint correction. I've tired multiple $20 headlight restorers but they fail after about a year.

Funny!!!
Yes, getting them clear doesn't seem to be the issue.
Keeping them that way does.
Yes 2k clear lasts years if properly applied. I still ceramic coat over them as well since I coat almost everything on my vehicles.
Here's an article explaining 2k clear coat:

Thanks for sharing.

I've heard of the ceramic coat - I think the stealership I bought my daily through offered that for $800.00
of course I passed but my BIL uses some ceramic in a bottle type product and really likes it.
is this ceramic something an every day Jane or Joe can use safely? My BIL is way more into car detailing than me so I haven't been brave enough to try it

Home now and will be watching the trucks for dust and lasting . Looks ok as f this evening .I didn't get to look at the pics real good yesterday took another gander today - looks like it works very good! Made the plastics look new. I tried some product called back to black on my tucson (the exterior plastic trim) but it attracted dust like a magnet!! Same under the hood. I'm curious how this product does with dust, that is if you have any in FL LOL
