How to save your oxidized Head Lamp

oxidized Head Lamp affect Millions of vehicles. majority of these aging is caused by the heat generated from the projection inside and exposed to the harsh environment like sun + improper wash making it worse in Malaysia, eg foam used! what we usually seeat the road side carwash, where one single foam used to clean entire car.....! wrong solvent use....degreaser ..+..FAB washing powder....+ strength = DAMAGE slowly after over time




Headlamp restoration or repair is part the process of restoring the brightness and clarity!

sharing with you my insight and perhaps it might trigger you to restore your own..................

incredible results. really nice. but did you say up to 5 hours per lens? how much $$ would you charge for this? seems like it would have to be like $100 each just to make enough money for your time.
