How long did it take to do each set? I'm still trying to figure out if I'm taking too long or not charging correctly.

Thanks Greg. The EP3 lights took a lot of time - around 3.5 hours. A lot of chasing had to be done to get all the nicks out. The WRX lights took about 1.5 hours including the fog lights.

You are correct. I use a
Meguiar's soft backing pad for sanding. However, for spot sanding, I just fold the paper and work at the specific area by hand.

Thanks! Up to this point, I have been wondering about spraying a clear coat on the lights after completion. I'm just not sure what product to buy. Any recommendations? I'm looking for something that is strong, resistant to fading, etc. I want clients to be able to look at their lights a couple years after and be happy they spent the money to get it done properly.

I am currently sealing the lights with wax and advising customers to do the same after every second or third wash.

Thanks Scott. I completely agree. A lot of times, it's the finishing touch that will really set off a freshly detailed car!
