No that’s not it. it needs to be treated with a plastic coating sealer. To protect it otherwise it becomes exactly like it looked before in a matter of a few months. Ceramic formulas work well.
I get very good results from 5 mins with a rag and T-Cut or rubbing compound. Finish off with some car polish.

I think that General Motors used something like this to polish their plastic steering wheels pre-1970's From Wikipedia: Vapor polishing is a method of polishing plastics to reduce the surface roughness or improve clarity. Typically, a component is exposed to a chemical vapor causing the surface to flow thereby improving the surface finish. This method of polishing is frequently used to return clear materials to an optical quality finish after machining. Vapor polishing works well in the internal features of components. Feature size changes of the plastic component generally do not occur. Post stress relieving is usually required as vapor polishing sets up surface stresses that can cause crazing[citation needed]. Plastics that respond well to vapor polishing are polycarbonate, acrylic, polysulfone, PEI, and ABS. The technique is also being used to improve the surface of objects created with 3D printing techniques. As the printer deposits layer upon layer of material to build the object, the surface is often not entirely smooth. The smoothness of the surface can be greatly increased by vapor polishing.[1]
All I know is what I read on the wiki and don't recall where I read about the 1960's use case for plastic steering wheel finishing. These days in the USA the vapors would make such techniques unpopular with the Air Quality Management authorities. The Acetone that I think they used is pretty strong solvent and might just remove any paint.@@sttm1283

Considering how we’re being told that petroleum products are killing the planet, car manufacturers are still using single use plastics on their headlights. What happened to glass headlights? They rarely chipped, and were made of a material that can be recycled indefinitely.
Had glass headlights on my old Citroen BX GTi. An impact with a pigeon was all it took to destroy one! And,incidentally,the glass was 5 to 6mm thick! Plastic has flexibility,unlike glass. Oh,and regarding dullness,the (in situ)application of Solvol Autosol metal polish with an electric buffing pad will restore most plastic units to their original shine, and ,should they be lacquer coated,this can be reapplied via a rattle can of clear coat from your local DIY store.

Heres a fact people you can get a better result wet sanding from 1000 to 5000grit, then using a small 3" rotary polisher with compounds and GOOD quality buffing and polishing pads. Second of all holding a flame under a thin aluminum can with acetone is extremely extremely f**king dangerous. Acetone is more flammable than gasoline. A lot more flammable and i do not recommend this because when it goes it all ignites at once going BOOM!!! exactly like gun powder. I know, i paint and do cerakote for a living and old rags used with acetone have turned my burning barrel into a gigantic shot gun a couple times when i lit it and blowing all the trash straight up in the air 20' then landing all around the 55gal drum that is my burning barrel

“The stoichiometric ratio is the exact ratio between air and flammable gas or vapor at which complete combustion takes place.” Just because there’s a natural gas being let out of the swamp doesn’t mean someone else on the other side of the county doesn’t get to smoke a cigarette. Have you ever seen the video of the pale of gasoline that someone puts a welding ark in? The fire triangle states that there’s a source of ignition, and there’s a source of fuel, but there’s not a source of oxygen, regardless, the ratio of the oxygen to the fuel still has to meet the efficient.
@@williamcope2652 key there being complete combustion... or the ideal mixture for efficiency. Many flammables have a very wide range of combustion, although not ideal. I believe acetylene will burn from a 10% to a 90% mix with air. The sociometric point of gasoline is 14.7:1 expressed as a ratio. I'd have to look up acetone.
@@williamcope2652 The stochiometric point is for ideal combustion. IOW, least emissions and most power. Gasoline is 14.7:1 but there is a wider range of flammability overall. They are called the LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) and the UEL (Upper Explosive Limit) You also have to consider the conditions where you actually have a vapor to burn. Gasoline has no vapor at around -50F but plenty at room temp. Fuel oil / diesel has almost no vapor till you reach over 125F. IOW, you need the vapor and the air mixture. In this video there's plenty of air so it's a matter of reaching a rich enough mix to go boom.
Suddenly we have PHD.chemstry scientist. Here.. Telling us.. Lol this method is used by Professional headlight restore shops.... You can buy the actone vapor Kit online.. It's a simple device.. Aluminum can with heating.... To produce actone vapors...
There’s a quick way to improve lights, not as good as your method, but quick. Use kitchen cleaner like Comet with a wet towel then get a restore liquid, not expensive from auto supply to finish.
but a few drops on a rag and wipe it on would have done it, too, I think. Fixed mine by wiping. You just have to clean them well first else when you wipe you might bury dirt or grit in the surface.
Actone Vapor plastic polishing has been used in many industries Professional headlight restore places uses This methods... Kit cost less than $20. But will charge you $100+ for the service...
Forget all the crap that all these people tell you to use, YOU DO NOT NEED ANY OF THEM!!! Just use TOOTHPASTE!!! Then with a bit of elbow grease, rub it right in, and then rinse off with water. I use a soft scourer, then with a damp rag and water(depending how bad your headlights are, you can even use a steelo pad), then use a damp cloth and water. It may take a couple of times to get your headlights crystal clear, but it will do it!!! Under $2.00 for a tube of toothpaste, and no need for skilled tradesmen either!!!! Please try it!😀
I think you could use any process to get the yellow plastic off and then use the acetone at the end. I have a 3M light cleaning kit that I’ve used to about every three years with a product that goes over the top that doesn’t seem to last and I’m thinking next time I clean them off I’m gonna try the acetone at the end. I do think your title is kind of Clickbait. I mean you had to remove the headlight? What the heck that’s not easy.
Нужно отполировать и покрыть специальным лаком. Это по технологии. А то что на видео, вариант на 6 месяцев, дальше они снова поцарапаются и станут мутными
Полировка не нужна и даже вредна)) Лак всё сделает )) Вот как заматованную поверхность облить водой, пока не высохнет будет гладкая и блестящая, лак даст такой же эфект только долговременный, а риска нужна чтобы держался хорошо ;)
All you need to do is Wipe on Mothers aluminum polish with a cloth and wipe off almost right away with a terry cloth or micro fiber towel. You'll be surprised. Very fast. 😁
I think also that it was quite odd that you would polish the headlight and then applied the vapor acetone. 😆 Polishing is always something done last in the process but is not usually done when applying the vapor application. So that polishing you did was wack.
Will not last. Once the UV coating is gone, the plastic will fog. No matter how much you polish or sand or apply acetone......unless you replace the UV coating, the fogging will return.
I agree. This is why after polishing I follow up with a clear 3M film of automotive quality. The shine lasts a very long time. Great idea with Acetone vapor. Clever.
@@bluesdawg8014this method will outlast your method... Actone vapor plastic polishing has been used in auto industry... and many headlight restore shops uses this method..... But make sure after the treatment.. You apply UV coating cream...or spray.. Which ever you prefer... You can buy the actone vapor Kit under $20... .
Fácil entender esse processo. O que está amarrado, é o "verniz",que se aplica sobre o polimero do farol. Todo o processo de ligamento com abrasivos é acetona, retira esse verniz. Mas a proteção contra o tempo, foi eliminado. O farol fica bom, pouco período. Após, pode trocar.
This was probably tiring, and took 30 minutes I would rather sand with 2000 grit orbital sander. And use rubbing compound and a orbital buffer. Would take 5 minutes and less effort
Αγαπητέ, η εικόνα μιλάει μόνη της. Το acetone είναι το υγρό που καθαρίζουν το βερνίκι από τα νύχια. Υπάρχει στο εμπόριο παραγγελια από φαρμακεία και σαν καθαριστικό χωρίς χρωστική και αρωμα. Ο τύπος χρησιμοποιεί τον ατμό της ακετόνης σαν καθαριστικό ή σαν φίνις βερνίκι.

Use brake fluid and job done. But don't get it on the paint work or it will lift.
Really
@@mduduzimanyatsi9311really. I did that to mine and now it's bare metal
Судя по рукам ещё что то пробывал😂
結局磨くんだね そんなん
アセトンじゃなくても磨いた後にクリア吹けば同じ
If you pizz on them, and use a magic erasure they look like new.
I think you could use any process to get the yellow plastic off and then use the acetone at the end. I have a 3M light cleaning kit that I’ve used to about every three years with a product that goes over the top that doesn’t seem to last and I’m thinking next time I clean them off I’m gonna try the acetone at the end.
I do think your title is kind of Clickbait. I mean you had to remove the headlight? What the heck that’s not easy.
I spent much time with that 3m kit myself and, as far as I could see, no improvement.
Wczoraj oglądałem jak gość robił to z puszką od cocacola. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Reklama, reklama, reklama 🤣🤣🤣🤣. A, woda w zupełności wystarczy 😮
Надо сразу клеить бронепленку.
The upside is that when you explode your headlight, the car isn't attached.
Can you also huff on the acetone?
Ну и наконец после всех манипуляций на пару тройку тысяч ..три капли ацетона😂
я и говорю лапша для евротупарей, там полирнуть только осталось но про ацетон то надо было довешать)
AS SOON AS SAW THE RED I KNEW THIS WS A HACK
Нужно отполировать и покрыть специальным лаком. Это по технологии. А то что на видео, вариант на 6 месяцев, дальше они снова поцарапаются и станут мутными
Всё точно но одно но полировать не нужно будет только хуже.
Полировка не нужна и даже вредна)) Лак всё сделает ))
Вот как заматованную поверхность облить водой, пока не высохнет будет гладкая и блестящая, лак даст такой же эфект только долговременный, а риска нужна чтобы держался хорошо ;)
In Deutschland ist diese Methode (Dampfpolieren) verboten, da sich die Streuung des Lichtes verändert und zur Blendung des Gegenverkehrs führen kann.
In deutschland ist furzen beim kacken auch verboten
Судя по кол-ву отзывов от китайцев, ты им конкретно бизнес испортил :)
Try using a sander it'll be so much quicker
и на сколько долговременный эффект?...
Selvap!

The whole world knows the headlamp lenses require us spray.
Way to much hassle. Use Mothers aluminum polish for a 5 minute fix 100% easy LOOKS GREAT Los Angeles
All you need to do is Wipe on Mothers aluminum polish with a cloth and wipe off almost right away with a terry cloth or micro fiber towel. You'll be surprised. Very fast. 😁
I think also that it was quite odd that you would polish the headlight and then applied the vapor acetone. 😆 Polishing is always something done last in the process but is not usually done when applying the vapor application. So that polishing you did was wack.
Максимум полгода и всё снова жёлтое. Самое надёжное закрыть лаком у меня на канале всё описано. Сам лично делаю на своих авто.

Vou fazer 😂
「垂らしただけ」とは一体・・・？と考えさせられる動画でした。
no i to byłby bomba pomysł ale czy na pwno wyjdzie
Will not last. Once the UV coating is gone, the plastic will fog. No matter how much you polish or sand or apply acetone......unless you replace the UV coating, the fogging will return.
After all the sanding, several light coats of Rustoleum UV resistant clear coat will last 2-3 years.
I agree. This is why after polishing I follow up with a clear 3M film of automotive quality. The shine lasts a very long time. Great idea with Acetone vapor. Clever.
Plexus, work well, just reapply 2-4 times a year.
Couple of hours all the haziness from the sanding will come back
if acetone wasn't a solvent, this would be correct. acetone is basically melting the plastic lens back to a clear protective coating though.
@@LygerTheCLaw can you just use a hot air gun insted of aceton to melt the plastic smooth.
Nice
How many millilitres are in one drop?
Don't leave a drinks can with acetone in it. Either re-label it or destroy it, you never know when a child might pick it up,
Essa acetona é aquecida com uma vela? Não vi a chama.
sim em baixo da lata de redbull
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST AFTER YOU DID IT THAT IS THE MAIN POINT????
Non of them last. Use Mothers aluminum polish easy as heck. Last three months depending on the weather

This method is used by Professionals.. Actone vapor plastic polishing... Just remember to apply UV coating cream
After the treatment...
@@bluesdawg8014this method will outlast your method... Actone vapor plastic polishing has been used in auto industry... and many headlight restore shops uses this method..... But make sure after the treatment.. You apply UV coating cream...or spray.. Which ever you prefer... You can buy the actone vapor Kit under $20... .
Защитного слоя нет - очень быстро пожелтеют, в китайской жиже синей есть компонент защищающий от ультрафиолета, а в ацетоне - нет
Я пробовал ацетоном на оргстекле - фигня получается, китайский чайник рулит. После химии обязательно в броню закатывать пока пыль не села.
Fácil entender esse processo. O que está amarrado, é o "verniz",que se aplica sobre o polimero do farol. Todo o processo de ligamento com abrasivos é acetona, retira esse verniz. Mas a proteção contra o tempo, foi eliminado. O farol fica bom, pouco período. Após, pode trocar.
Волшебник.
This was probably tiring, and took 30 minutes
I would rather sand with 2000 grit orbital sander. And use rubbing compound and a orbital buffer. Would take 5 minutes and less effort
Muito bom...👏🏽👏🏽
Φιλε ωραιο το βιντεο.Εαν μπορεις βαλε μεταγλωτιση στα Ελληνικα.
Αγαπητέ, η εικόνα μιλάει μόνη της. Το acetone είναι το υγρό που καθαρίζουν το βερνίκι από τα νύχια. Υπάρχει στο εμπόριο παραγγελια από φαρμακεία και σαν καθαριστικό χωρίς χρωστική και αρωμα. Ο τύπος χρησιμοποιεί τον ατμό της ακετόνης σαν καθαριστικό ή σαν φίνις βερνίκι.
con tres gotas acetona y una hora lijando, jajajajaja
My headlights are discolored on the inside....they never show videos to solve that issue😂
Thats because you have to buy new ones.
I wasted hours of time and $550 replacing my headlights after all of these voodoo methods made my headlights incredibly worse.
Well isn't that your fault for so readily believing this rubbish
@billyboybliss. Lost me with the can. 🙄
•Wet sand 600g if really badly oxidized.
•wet sand 1000g if still decent.
•Compound with buffer or drill adapter.
•Apply Carnauba Wax for added durability.
•Repeat as needed every year
Lol.. This is not voodoo.. Lol
Professional use this method .. It's called actone vapor polishing..
Lol
You have to get the temp just enough for the actone vapors .. They sell the kit online for less than $20
Naaaaah maaaang
@@cetujavu3466I bet these "professionals" first take few good lung full inhales of acetone frior to performing the service
Omg there has to be an easer way
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and 15 minutes of elbow grease every six months.

Which is acetone
He's using the fumes.
Comment made perfect with 3 drops of bulls**t. I could not believe my eyes!
Polimero ??? Ou tá fumando crack na lata de red Bull 😂😂
좋은정보 감사드립니다
アセトンでヘッドライトの表面の樹脂を溶かして平面性を出しているだけでしょ。
危ないな。
しかもアセトン気化をすっちゃうので、こんな作業をしたら頭がやられる。
Quer dizer quê foi a acetona e não a lixa pra tirar o verniz que protege o farol. É cada uma...
А не проще купить новую .......... МАШИНУ ?
Einfacher schon. Aber eben deutlich teurer... :-(
Vielleicht einfach mit einem neuen (Satz) Scheinwerfer anfangen...
