    TSX Headlight Restore and Detail

    I dug up a few pics form my cell phone of a headlight restoration I performed recently. Sorry for the quality of the pics. I didn`t have my camera with me.

    The main focus of the detail was going to be a one step polish and then seal. I sold a headlight restore as an add on.

    I used a free product I received for the polish and was pleasantly surprised (HD Uno/Poxy)

    Headlights:
    2000 grit wetsand
    compound and polish with Uno
    Seal with Opti Coat 2.0

    Paint:
    One step with Uno
    Seal with Poxy

    I`m seeing some good reflections. The pics aren`t that bad. Looks good from here.
    One day I`ll get to do my own car.

    Once it turns yellow it will likely turn yellow again. The reason is that the factory clear is gone. I have restored lights with no sealant and had them last another six months before needing treatment again. I have sealed restored headlights with Klasse Acrylic Sealant and had them last more than a year. This time I treated them with Opti Coat which is permanent. I am hoping they don`t yellow again at all. We will see.

    Respraying with clear is the best option.
