Re: Factory UV coating
Many times on an Acura ,Honda and Toyota or Lexus, the coating simply flakes off over time. I those cases, you can simply polish the lens and re-coat and get the exact same results. But you need to make sure the coating is all gone. If youre not sure, run a 300 disc over the lens really quick and yo...

Re: Headlight fogged at 41 degrees
Your problem was that there must have been moisture on the lens. A cloudy day and they look bad but on a sunny day they dont? The sun dried the lens. Ive had that happen to me a few times but I started using 99.9% pure alcohol and it never happened again.

Also be careful of those headlight aimers. If they break off, you might have a hole in the lens. just tape a lot around them and you should be fine. None of us like working with them.

Re: What's the average time to restore a set of headlights?
As mush as some would not like to hear this, there are vehicles that Ill pass on. They are just too time consuming. Most Chevy trucks are tough to do and we dont see many here in the upper midwest they need help. Ive done two in the last three years. Same goes for Ford trucks. If you see those more ...

Re: What's the average time to restore a set of headlights?
Depending on the vehicle (passenger car) Im at 30 - 45 minutes. A tougher one may be listed a a HL that has OEM clear which is difficult to remove like a Volvo XC90. For the newbie, 60 minutes should the be the norm until you gain experience. But this also includes having all the tools and sanding d...

Re: Delta HLR forum
Just a quick thing to think about- and to anyone who is reading this. In the transportation industry regarding school buses, you have basically three customers. School District #1 Leases all their buses - not a good candidate for HLR as the turnover is generally three to four years. School District ...
