Risk of removing Coating from Headlamps?

klarzy · 11th December 2015, 13:00

when remocing deeper pits and scratches (upto 0.5mm deep) then you need to remove that as a uniform layer across the whole light to prevent lensing.
This of course removes a thin gel like coating which can burn and build up on the lens if you have the abrasive moving too fast.

A good finishing compound like £m headlight poish and protect will leave some protection in the fine surface, but a sprayed on clear coat alowed to go very hard before fitting may be the best long term protection...

i am experimenting with that now...
