Default Headlight Restoration

Hey guys its been awhile since i posted on the forums but I just wanted to share my headlight restoration project. I couldn't stand the rock chips on the headlight so I sanded it down 6 times and put an oem UV coat back on. Also take a look at the others peoples cars I've done. If anyone wants the service I'm mobile in the NYC area or you can call John @ motorcepts.

Very nice! After sanding are you spraying them with some type of clear? OEM UV coat?

Hey tony, no spray on I mix the chemicals and apply with a lint free towel and then dry it with a heat gun

Well like I said, very nice! Mine are in decent shape but before long they will need to be cared for. Can you share the price range this runs? I know each set could fluxuate due to actual condition. My thoughts would be to get them done sooner verus later...

Hey lepaularcher if by NYC you mean the 5 boroughs yes. If its somewhere outside like Connecticut it depends how far and if its more than an hour I would need more than 2 people minimum three to make the trip worth it
