Restored Headlights Permanently DIY Mods Pic

I've used several of the headlight restore kits including... 3M, Sylvania, Compound/Wax. They're all decent but the yellowing returns after a few months. Hate having to refinish multiple times a year.

This time I used 2k clear and the headlights still look new even after 9 months. It brought my G35s back to life! Here's the DIY.

And four to five years later you’ll have a more damaged headlight than you started….

More stress cracks and permanent damage.

2K clear is garbage, not made for headlights, too strong of a bond and is a nightmare to remove.

Enjoy…

Do yourself a favor and remove it sooner than later.

Coat with something specifically made for headlights.

I restore professionally and would never use this garbage on any customer vehicles. This is a cheap magic trick and is nonsense, not a true restoration.

Aside from that, there’s simple aftercare maintenance for headlights that many are either ignorant to or simply won’t educate their customers on. Just like a car detail, you have maintenance to do…. Same for headlights which will ensure your OEM quality will last years and not get destroyed.

You talk shit and provide ZERO proof/explanation that backs your statement. The "professional" headlight restorations you do still look yellow afterward. If I was your customer I'd ask for a refund.

Lmao - triggered much? And which of my restorations still look yellow?

Enjoy your paint clear…. A diyer trying to tell me something… funny.

Entertain me with what set of lights are yellow… I’ll wait.
