One more question, how long would you expect each part of the job to take, ie how long for residue removal and how long for to polish? I'm assuming I'll clean with ONR then clay prior to polishing. Suggestions? Thanks

Hi A dealer friend would like me to clean up his Porsche. At the moment he's only talkingabout removal of duct tape residue and possibly some light polishing afterwards. I'm looking for suggestions on technique and pricing both just for the residue removal and a combined price as well. I've...

I've also got yet another question. I know the importance of using decent quality abrasives, what line of Norton, 3M and Mirka abrasives should I use as a minimum? I've been using Norton right for all steps except 3000 for which I've been using the 3M Trizec. I'm not sure off hand the Line...

Thanks for the tips on cloudiness. I was really afraid that maybe I wasn't spending enough time on the finer papers or needed to add an intermediate, say 1000 or 1200. My average time start to finish is 1.5 hours so I would think that I'm doing enough steps, since it sounds like most of the...

I did a pair last night, modifying slightly. Unfortunately I didn't read your post about the speedcoat / dawn, so used water as a lube from 800 up. If neither is available, would Optimum No Rinse / water combination be ok? 400, 600 dry 800, 1500, 3000 wet Cleaned everything with Odorless...

I've noticed on the last couple restores I've done that they look great in the daylight with the lights off, but if the lights are turned on I can see some fogginess. Its more noticeable at night. Is this something I'm doing wrong? Method: girot with a foam interface pad, 400, 600, 800 dry...

The Unfortunately natural light wasn't an option on this one as I started late and it turned out to be a long job - my fault for not being aggressive enough from the beginning. (It was nice to be working inside on a cold night though.) I'm just using a small point and shoot camera not a DSLR...

Re: Headlight Restoration-neyw UV sealant idea First off, thanks to everyone for contributing to this great thread! Can you give me some hints on taking great before / after pictures as well as critique this recent job I did? (This was probably the toughest set I've done due to the curves...
