Headlamp Refurbishment

[khushy]

to all my Somerset, Avon and Dorset, South West petrol-head buddies - just had my 120,000 mile Spyder Headlamps refurbished by Michael this morning.

They were pretty beat up - scratched, cloudy in places and feeling every single one of my 120k miles that have been covered over the last 8 years.

I bought a DIY kit from Halfords (big mistake and a waste of money) which basically scuffs up your headlamps and then clears the damage caused by the scratching with a brillo pad and special fk-your-headlamps-up-paste that comes with the kits - then you use the some kind of wonder spray that will not last very long. Luckily I only tried it on a 1" section of the lamps before finding and calling Michael to come and do it properly.

Michael arrived on time, took his time to first mask everywhere properly and cover the Spyder, then wet sand and wet polish each headlamp to a perfect finish. They now look like new and he also gave them a 2 year guarantee.

Bear in mind that a new headlamp for my car = £900 EACH SIDE !!!

Sounds good, any before/after photos?

I did my Clio lamps recently with a 3M kit followed by coating with Siramik HR to add back the UV protection.
Amazing the difference it makes to the vehicle. I’ll be doing my Cayman R lamps too as they’re starting to cloud.

I did my 987's a few weeks ago with the 3M kit. The difference is massive. I should apply some proper anti-UV coating really...

Yes the anti uv bit is important. I didnt do it on my 997 and they started to go cloudy quickly.

What would you recommend?

I had BR Car Detailing coat mine in Siramik HR Glasscoat. Providing i take care of them and routinely top up with a Si02 type spray, C2V3 is what i use, they should be good for many years to come.
