    Headlight Restoration-new UV sealant idea

    Nice job, those lights look awesome. And this UV sealer just enhances the look. I find that sometimes, it fills in fine scratches and "glosses" areas that don't buff out well. Longevity should be very reasonable, but time will tell. If the lights are neglected they will end up faded again, in...

    Lincoln Navigator Mini Limo

    Yeah, those seats were pretty nasty, it took me a awhile to scrub that grime off completely. And according to the owner it was an option from Lincoln. He told me the name of this special edition navigator, but I forgot what it was called. But I do remember him saying it was built in...

    headlight restoration

    It looks great! When I mix the UV sealant, I measure out the correct amount of urethane (with measuring spoon) and the mineral spirits and poor it into a small clear plastic cup(disposable). Then I stir the mix together with a popsicle stick(found at wal-mart in craft section). I make sure...

    Lincoln Navigator Mini Limo

    This was a unique vehicle, it was a Navigator/part limousine. The owner told me it was a very rare edition. This was the first one I had seen. Now, down to business. This was a full interior and exterior detail. The leather seats were horrible, very grimey and dirty but the rest of the...

    My sisters mercury (paint correction)

    This car is my sisters 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis. It had been owned by older people previously and I could tell no maintenance was done to the paint at all. There were a lot of scratches and swirls, I did not get the best before pics. I think if I wet sanded a little, it would have been...

    Headlight Restoration-new UV sealant idea

    No, I am still using the blue shop rag applicator. Microfiber would probably streak too much. I was just using the microfiber rags to wipe off the lens while wet sanding and polishing. I have tried a foam applicator, but I still like the blue shop rag.

    1999 Chevy Camaro (overdue for detailing)

    I used M40 on the dash and door panels. And I used Mequiars all purpose cleaner to clean the leather seats, and Lexol as a leather treatment.

    1999 Chevy Camaro (overdue for detailing)

    I am not sure what the stains were. I use several different chemicals when cleaning carpet. I use Traffic Lane Cleaner, Unbelievable Carpet Cleaner, and Meguiars All Purpose cleaner.

    Headlight Restoration-new UV sealant idea

    The gloss, so far is still looking good for my lights. But, if they are not kept up with maintenance they will probably fade out like any plastic lens. I doubt this treatment is maintenance free. I would treat them like they were new lights. New lights are made with a UV sealer, I've been...

    Headlight Restoration-new UV sealant idea

    I would guess that the one coat is enough. I am still testing the durability of this protectant. Although I have not added any wax or sealant to my lights since I restored them, it probably would not hurt if you added some extra protection once in a while, but wait until is has fully cured. I...
