Headlight Restoration w/ UV Coating
So I recently picked up these retrofitted jdms from Nasioc and they were definitely hazy. I just want to let you guys know that I took them to californiacarglass.com in Redwood City and I am truly pleased

Sam, the owner of this small, used-car sales lot was very nice and he used a 5 step system with different sanding levels and he even carefully put on a new UV coat. Took him 30 minutes and cost 60 bucks.
I thought it was well worth it.

Thanks for the offer for helping tho!! I just didnt want to bother you ahah.
But yours has the S2ks! Those are amazing!
Brucelee:
Yes they do! I contacted Detail Addict first, but Leo said "We do not wet sand the headlights, only chemical polish". I've seen him do it and also brings great results if your lights aren't as bad as mine.

I heard nothing but amazing reviews from that kit...but, I recommend that you get the UV coating after... since you will essentially be taking a lot of it off in the process. Polishing and waxing over it will only be temporary. You need to put a sealant or uv coat to prevent it from happening again. Good luck!
