That`s awesome! I love that you just wanted to learn, that`s very admirable. My mom actually has a bachelor`s in sociology
I`m going to ask the dumb question if anyone wet-sands by hand badly etched/hazed headlamps BEFORE attempting to compound and polish them with a compact DA (like the Rupes Nano) or rotary (like the Flex PE 8 Kompact) and how this is done?
Also, if you know of links to YouTube videos or threads from within this forum on headlight restorations, could you post them? (Yes, I am way too lazy to do searches or just not quite technically-inclined to do the linking. Poor excuse, though! Kind of like, "Hey, the dog ate my homework.")
It would seem like there is a large market for headlight restoration for two reasons:
1) Cars are owned for longer periods of time and NEED this service to see better while night driving;
2) Law enforcement is beginning to crack down on older cars with weak headlights or headlights that are out (which leads to other arrests for related violations from not wearing seatbelts to DUI to illicit drug possession to parole violations or outstanding warrants or driving with a revoked (or no valid) license and/ or insurance.)
I say this because I see Wal-mart (and Sam`s Club) offers this headlight restoration service within the automotive service department, if the store has one (and most do) and if I remember it`s about $15.00 to $18.00 per headlight. I am wondering if detailers could start offering the same service with better results. Just a thought as a way to recoup the (larger) investment cost of a Rupes Nano.
