Today i worked on a Chev Aveo. Customer requested the headlights to be restored and laminexed.
Our starting point....
I spotted a few hints of clear coat failure
Majority discolouration.
First up
The preparation process
using a mild Apc i cleaned the surface of bug guts and other foreign particles.
I then clayed the surface using optimum clay lube and sheild clay.
Now the surface is ready for sanding.
The Restoration process
I taped up the surrounding areas.
my sanding steps (3M Water paper)
P800
P1000
P1200
P1500
P2000
P3000 (trizact)
All by hand
Now its time for the fun part
Polishing..
My test spot
Machine - Shield da
Compound - Meguiars Ultimate Compound
Pad - 3M polishing pad.
I achieved the desired results so i continued to polish the rest of the headlight.
The protection plan
My customer requested for the headlights to be tinted with a light smoke effect.
The same process was carried out on the passenger headlight.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Any questions or comments are welcomed.
Thank you guys.
