Yeah, but the closest one is about 30 minutes away

Been a while, but thought I'd post an update. Haven't had time to work on it, but finally got around to it yesterday. I found out that my M105 and M205 had gone bad. Found that out this past weekend while trying to use it on a black Acura. It was like smearing toothpaste. So I figured that...

I actually just polished/coated the vehicle with the same products. 90% was corrected with 3D One and eurofiber pad. A few spots needed an orange pad. 2 scratches needed Megs complete compound. When I get back to it, I think I may try to remove the residue with Dawn and a mf wash mit since...

Sorry for the confusion...the last pic I uploaded is the "before" picture. That's not what it looks like now. My initial post is how they look now. The black plastic is just an experiment with a spray on "wrap" and will be removed. There was no coating applied to the headlights prior...

It's a 2018 and garage kept...but they live in Texas heat lol They're aftermarket headlights. They best way I could describe what they started off looking like is particle board. You could feel the deep defects. I started at 400 grit to get all of that off and worked my way up. Once I can...

No, I haven't tried the other side yet. Hopefully it cooperates better than this one. I thought I had some plastix, but I dont. I saw a video of somebody doing a final wipe down with shaving gel after he polished it with toothpaste. After a hand polish with 3D One on an orange pad, I put some...

I've restored a lot of headlights, but this one has me stumped. Wet sanded to 2500 grit. Finished it up with DA and compound. Everything looks great until I go to buff it off with a mf cloth I tried several different nap count cloths in a circular motion and side to side. So I do another...

I'm glad it's not just me then. Blacklight soap always left my panels flat too....like it stripped the wax. For the longest I thought I was doing something wrong lol.

Well....... as I mentioned a couple of posts ago, there was a 60% chance of rain today. I woke up to the sound of thunder at 6:30am this morning. I finished coating it with Cquartz at 6am Monday morning. It was parked outside all day yesterday in the 100 degree temps so I'm sure the coating...

I was HOPING for a one step lol. What you call 'difficult' weather is just 'typical' weather this time of year in Dallas lol. I need a bigger garage that so my truck will fit and I can install central A/C. I dont mind having to do a 2 or even 3 step, but this was getting crazy. And yes, the...

So I started yesterday around 4pm and worked through the night until 7:30 this morning. And I still didn't get it all done. This is BY FAR the most difficult, mind-blowing and aggravating correction I have EVER done. And of all things, it's my personal vehicle, wth lol To answer some of your...

Yes, just the compounds I mentioned. Since I picked up Megs Ultimate Polish, I'll start off with that on the panels with a white hex logic. Thanks! Heading out to the garage as we speak. Thankfully it's only 98 degrees in Dallas today :help: Hex logic yellow, orange, white, blue, black...

After polishing to remove light swirls, scratches and baked-in mud from my truck, I cant get rid of the haze. It's a 2012 F150 Tuxedo black. It's always been cared for, coated, maintained but after spending several weeks with 90% of it's time being off-road, it was time to do some correcting...
