My first head light restore

**TL type S** · 03-21-2011, 11:05 PM

I followed another threads instructions close but did not polish the lens and it turned out fine.First time so it will be perfected over time to much more than it is now.Attached are only the first light after completing it.The Pass light was finished an hour after in the same manner.I just sat there for a bit enjoying what I had been able to provide for a customer.

I used...
600,1000 and 3000 wet sand.Wipe with Odorless Mineral Spirits between each step in sanding and before spraying with Helmsmans glossy clear urethane.Total time was only 15 minutes after tape off.

Thanks to all the very generous and giving detailers willing to offer knowledge that blesses the life of others to gain additional income.This one set gained me $100 tonight.

Enjoy

Looks like a headlight restore to me! Nicely done. You must have done your homework first.

Yes my brother,

I did so MUCH reading through the site.I did 20 hours of reading the threads on this site and at that time knew I had received exactly what it would take.

I`m still blown away at how incredible it looks.I just cannot thank enough,the fellow members that provided the knowledge and wisdom for me to gain from them.

Thank you.

Next set I will polish before coating to compare and see if after coating, it makes for a visual difference that is more appealing to the naked eye.
