Headlight restoration is nothing new on Youtube and there is plenty of basic tutorials. This video is (my take) on how to restore headlights semi-permanently and keep them protected for years, not months!

Restoring old oxidized and yellowed headlights is extremely satisfying. Not only does it make the car look new, it also helps with safety and visibility at night. Today my Honda Civic project receives one of the best forms of headlight restoration on 20 year old poly-plastic headlights! This method is most definitely a perfectionists approach to fixing headlights, but the results speak for themselves.

Sanding headlights is nothing new, but I really wanted to go above and beyond with 6 different grits of sandpaper, compound, polish, and finish with paint protection film. The PPF will keep the headlights protected from harsh UV and coating the lights with a ceramic will double the protection. This is part of the major transformation for my budget built Honda Civic that most people will be able to follow.

There's plenty of headlight "kits" on the market, but most of them fall short in the UV protection stage. Thus requiring you to polish or re-sand the headlights every couple of months if they yellow or oxidize. I think the PPF will help with light protection and rock chips for years to come. Hopefully you guys enjoy the video, because this might be boring for most lol.
