NO LONGER IN BUSINESS




DIY Tutorial found here:

If you do not wish to do it yourself, then you can contact me, price still stands.




EXTERIOR LENS POLISHING

Starting price for FI members would be $25

Btw, i am MOBILE, so i can come to you.


This is not the simple wet sand, then apply rubbing compound on and admire the new look.

My method (i have used on my own personal headlights) and many others, has lasted LONGER than the traditional rubbing compound trick, and looks much smoother and newer.


Here is the latest vehicle that i did with before and after:

**NOTE**
that headlight was previously been restored with rubbing compound, and over the years, it took its toll and turned blurry and yellow again.

do you know if its true that if you spray clear coat on it after you have polish it will permanently protect it from turning yellow again.

I dont think clear coat would stick after the polish is applied, lol.

But i have done my sister's Acura MDX about 6 months ago, and its still clear as when i first did them.

I've always used wax on my headlights, after restoring. So far, no yellowing or drying out.

I may be calling you up, Dao. My wrx needs work done, but I don't have the time. Assuming you need them out of the car?

No, i can do them on the car, lol.
Just need an outlet with extension so i can run my drill on them.
The drill makes it so i don't get tennis elbow, lol.

All plastic, as long as its hard plastic, yes.
If i had taken pictures, i could've showed you how my OEM window visors looked when i gave them a polish, lol.

If i have time, i can do a few plastic pieces over the weekend and post up before and after photos.
