This one is pretty short, but since all my other details dont have very many afters lately (finishing at night), I had to "steal" my friends car for 30 minutes to get something on film. The whole car needs to be cut and polished, but that is for another day!



anyway, here are the results of 1500grit, followed by 3000grit, Megs 105 with wool, then 205 with foam and rotary. HUGE improvement and amount of light that can pass through to the road now!

Like I said, its a short one! It started raining as I was finishing up, so Ill seal them up another day after a light polishing again.

Nice job, look brand new now!



I like doing headlight restoration, the improvement is very dramatic and people love the improvement in lighting. Good service to sell on rainy days. Better than making $0, right?

Great work! I agree with Scott...I could do HR all day.

yep...I remember Barry and I were talking one day...with everything setup already (shop senario) HR would take about 10-20 min total and charging 45-60 per set would lead to 150+ an hour!! Sign me up for that!!!! 1200 per day for 20 sets of headlights....:buffing:
