Oldest restored headlight is 14 months old. Recommended warranty was determined by lab test results.

Keep in mind that when you spray anything, you only get about 1/3 of the can contents (1/3 propellant, 1/3 material, 1/3 loss spraying the material.

Thanks for those links ray6, I guess the stripper is only suitable for restoring headlamps where most of the damage is oxidation?

Sanding would most likely still be needed to remove stone chips and deep scratches I assume?

Oxidation is the yellowing/cloudiness you see in headlights.

Neither of these two processes are used alone when there is deep pitting or scratches. About 1 in 4 will need sanding. But still, about 3of every 4 headlights don't need sanding.

Sanding is only used to remove the old oxidized coating. If you remove it chemically, there's no need to sand. Not every headlight can be completely stripped. Some will need sanding.

When sanding is required, we start with 500 grit or higher since most of the old coating was removed by the stripper.

Thanks!rops:

Seems like a good system to have around when sanding isn't required. Would be a huge timesaver!

That is correct. But even in these cases, sanding is less because you have already removed most or some of the old coating.
