    Re: Claying headlights before polishing?

    You absolutely needed to sand those. A cute, little polishing kit will be a waste of time. Corvettes are pretty much in a class of their own. Good practice and hands on experience for you though.

    Sorry, but this is incorrect. Your like won't count if doing it from a business "sub page". You have to either like it from your personal profile, or a separate account you've created using just your...

    Re: Setting your polisher down

    I just set it down pad-first. What's the big deal?

    KIDDING! I typically have my extension cord reel nearby. I set it down on its side and let the pad hang off the edge of the reel, if it's a small...

    I wish they offered a non-rechargeable model without the kit. Big props to their marketing team, but I can't spend that much on a bundle. I'd rather piece the polishes/compounds myself (or use what I...

    Re: More headlight restorations

    Absolutely. Unlike clear coat, there's enough plastic material (thickness) to work with more times than paint correction.

    Re: More headlight restorations

    My thoughts exactly. You have an average of at least 2-3 years left on the OEM coating, depending on UV exposure. That's better than most coatings out there.

    Here's a few more recent jobs. The Corvette takes the cake on difficulty level. The (or a) previous owner tried refinishing them himself. Realized they couldn't get through the OEM coating so they...

    Excellent work (as always). Caught a few of the brake caliper pics on your Facebook page. The extent and extra attention you guys give customers.... I'd love to see the final bill.

    Re: Clearcoating Headlights

    I've had good luck with OL. For clear coating, I think 2000 is more appropriate. 800 is WAY too rough.

    Re: Scuff on new headlight cover

    Definitely don't sand it. Try some polish on a foam pad by hand. If not, some compound/pad then polish/pad.

    Re: Headlight Restoration

    It really depends on the vehicle. Honda lenses are easy peasy because their coating from the factory is relatively "soft". Try only using 1500 on some Volvo or Corvette lenses and you'll be there for...
