Re: More headlight restorations
Awesome work as always...quick question: My 2013 G37s has a set of scratches on the drivers side lens that is like a little claw mark about an inch long right in front of the bulb. I can feel the scratches with my finger but I can only see it when I turn the headlight on. Otherwise there is no oxidation and only minimal scratches on the lens that are only visible turned on.
Do you think it would be worth doing the sanding/polishing and re-coating the lens or should I just let it go to preserve the factory sealant? I am a little afraid that the scratches are too deep to completely remove.

Leave it alone until you need a full restoration.

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.

Re: More headlight restorations
If a customer gets a headlight restoration, comes back couple years later with the same car to get it restored again, is it safe?

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

Are you doing these smaller lights by hand or with a DA as well?
Fantastic work

Thank you. Those are hand sanded but polished with a DA.
