    Re: Headlight Restoration Using DP All-In-One

    Oh, one more thing... wondering what others have experienced with the foamed wool pad? It works great, but the adhesive doesn't stand up at all to the heat created with HLR. Even being careful, they are coming apart on me after a couple cars. So I've had to use other pads... wool and foam. Good news is that the polish works ok with those pads too, but I do really like the foamed one. I will be re-gluing them with a high-temp adhesive eventually. Hope that does the trick.

    Nice job on cleaning them up. The meguiar's protectant works good. It's only downfall is longevity. I believe it states to reapply every 6-8 weeks.

    Re: Headlight Restoration Using DP All-In-One

    From the feedbacks I've received and after doing some research, it appears that Opti-Lens is the way to go for the longest protection and a product worth having but for now it will go to my wish list due to the cost and my budget.

    I do have DP Paint Coating that I could use. I suppose that a thorough wipe down is needed before I apply the coating to remove the Meguiars Proctectant and any polish residue. Is DP Coating Prep Polish sufficient or would I need to use some IPA?

    Re: Headlight Restoration Using DP All-In-One

    I agree with Mr.Fusion on this mater, At this point in my business I am not covered up with work, so I don't worry too much about time spent on a headlight job.
    What ever it takes to get the best outcome possible!
    But there is no one non-sanding cure-all for any and all situations that I've come across.
