Plastic headlight refinish in MTL
Other than a DIY kit, anyone know of an experienced detailer/paint shop that does this with good results?
Looking for a high quality job, including UV sealant.

A few years back Consumer Reports really liked this kit from Sylvania.

Best results are with the 3M professional kit, but take your time.
Second best results were with the liquid 3M compound surprisingly.
The CanTire stuff is meh...
This is an easy DIY, but if the items are valuable.... Call Dwane

Stan, Did you have the 3 grades of sandpaper? I use the 800,1500 and finish with 3000 grit.
You have 2 tools in the kit, an orbital sander and rotary polisher.
DA(porter cable) doesn't polish with enough RPM's, you need a rotary polisher to cut/correct properly after sanding.

Definitely, not on par with the entire kit and a professional behind the polishers.
Got a classic or cherished Porsche and don't want compromises?
Get a pro to do it... a lot cheaper than buying the Pro kit for one car
