    Some Headlights I've Done Past week

    the 60/40 mix works really well and it takes a bit more care putting it on I had it reverse because of streaking but let me say once you get it down there is no turning back, I also have mine in an applicator bottle for a week at a time before a make a new mix and it works great Thanks Panthercz
