You didnt mention what part of the country you are in which could dictate the need. I'm here in the midw...

Re: Noise Noise and More Noise!

Old Blue 66... Are you using the Makita for HLR? I'm using the Groits because it came with the kit. I'm new at HLR and assumed that all are using an RO sander/polisher. I tried the Makita but didn't like it. Its not a RO. Its sorta like a drill but on an angle like the RO. I bought one then sold it...

Re: Potential first HLR of me. Porsche 996

Got it. All we do are headlights and we operate on volume. So I watch every penny we spend on each job and each type of car.

Re: Time Between Coats

Use a blow drier to accelerate the drying process and if you need to, apply a second coat. As long as its dry not tacky, you're good to go.

A second coat, in some cases gives the lens a shinier finish. Not all car but some cars.

Re: Marketing Advice?

I would like to thank all of you for all of your help and support. I have finally got a few small, very "country" dealerships that I am working with, and I just put in my two weeks notice at the Bux today. God, that's a liberating feeling.

Re: 12 volt power converters ???
