I come across certain products every once in a while that I just can’t pass up due to the simplicity and permanent factor. With the fast paced world we live in today simple and permanent are something we dont get very often. But I think I’ve found something thats going to revolutionize the way automotive headlights are restored and become a regular staple to any Automotive Restoration Tech, Detail Shop or even Automotive Dealers as well.
Now I know from being in the automotive business that there are “Headlight Restoration Kits”, and I did put that in quotes for a reason, and I think you know why… they Don’t work! Or they work alright they just don’t last. Well with the Safe Light Headlight Restoration Kit your worries are gone. No more hoping it will work or thinking its worked… how bout it worked and worked right?
Whats so special about this headlight resoration kit is that process is so easy and virtually fool proof if the steps are followed right. Its safe for the vehicle and you as well and the best thing about this process is that its a permanent fix to a plagued market of failed processes.
I ran across the Safe Light Headlight Restoration Kit at the 2012 Mobile Tech Expo. I met up with Dennis and Andy with Auto Cosmetics in Lilburn, GA. the brains behind this system and what a great set of guys as well. Dennis is Andy’s father and Dennis has done a great job raising one stand up guy. Andy is a mad man when it comes to the selling and demonstration of this kit. He virtually had the whole show checking this kit out. Even put a few of the ” headlight restoration professionals”, their competitors, to shame with this system in some one on one competition. But beyond the fact of the kits Dennis and Andy are 2 very well respected guys in their business and have spent the time and the energy to develop a company and a service which in my book stands for some recognition.
Now this isn’t some monkey business headlight restoration kitthat has been thrown together either. Dennis has really done his research with the headlight restoration process. It took him a little over 3 years to design and develop this system with I’m sure with lots of trial and error. The process is so easy and works on any plastic headlight.Here’s a video that was put together by Dennis and his team and it really shows you how easy and fool proof the Safe Light Headlight Restoration Kit really is. There is such a Wow when your done with this process you will amaze your customers every time!
Now, there are a few tricks that I will recommend you do to have the maximum results out of this kit.
Temperature and moisture are 2 things in this process that make a huge difference in your end results.
First temperature, the headlights and the Headlight Clear Coat have to be warm, and I cant stress this part enough. The reason for this is that the specially designed clear has to be warm for the resins to flow correctly, otherwise your finish results are lumpy. The clear just doesn’t smooth out like it should. This is easily remedied though by simply putting the can on the defroster, set on hot, and warm it up. Or just sit it in the sun for a bit, even on days of 70 degrees or so, it wouldn’t hurt to warm the can up. You want your Headlights to look New don’t ya?
Next moisture. Moisture isn’t really a major key in this process but it definitely helps. While prepping if you say wipe the headlight with denatured alcohol or some other solvent, thinking like I would to remove the silicone’s, this removes all the moisture from the plastic which will mess with this clear coat. The specially designed Headlight Clear Coat is designed in a way that moisture helps with the flow as well. In fact the only prepping that is really required is wet sanding and then a final wipe, with water, to remove all goo and grime. Dennis discovered this when a customer was having problems with the lights just not taking the clear coat right. Well after some discussion of how he was doing the steps and come to find out he was wiping them down with a solvent prior to clearing the lights instead of just water thinking he was helping matters by removing all the silicone’s which really he was removing not only the silicone’s but all the moisture as well.
But the one thing with this system that really set me off and well we all know things just happen with Clear Coats. Either a bug or a dust bunny flies into your work, or the inevitable run, or you forgot to warm the can up and your results are just not so good. No need to worry because with this Headlight Kit comes a Clear Coat Remover. All you have to do is spray the Clear Coat Remover on the light while the clear is still wet and simply wipe it off and start over. You may have to take a little steal wool to help out but that’s it. You just start over by wet sanding a little and then re-shoot the headlight. Fool Proof!

Plastic is one component that makes up most of the inside of a vehicle and can be one of most difficult to repair and paint. That is if you don’t replace the piece first. To be really honest when it comes to some of the plastic trim pieces, door panels, and kick panels its cheaper to replace the pieces then to repair them. But I do mean some, there are many instances where a little heat in the right spot or some dye applied to the surface can hide or repair an imperfection and save from replacement and that’s what I’m here today to talk about repairing and painting those cosmetic repairs on plastic interior panels.

If your cars trim is not black then why in the world would you want to put a custom item in your car or truck without making it look custom.
Painting your gauge cluster mounts to match your vehicles interior will make it look so much more factory and well again look “custom”.
We all like to have a nice looking interior in our cars and trucks like adding little interior upgrades and such. By making these items match and paying attention to the little details will pay off in the end and make your ride look like a million dollars and not like a five dollar ride.

I get into so many autos that the buttons onthe radio are peeling off and what your left with are white buttons that just look awful. At night it can be at the least distracting. Have you seen one of those? Well Viper Products has done it again and has come up with a fix for those peeling buttons. Its a two part film. A translucent film and a black film with cut outs for the lettering. All you do is sand the peeling radio button to give you a smooth surface to put the film onto. Prep, then lay the film over the radio button and heat it to reform the coating to button. The lights from the radio still shine through the lettering and the finished product looks, as Viper Products always does, factory. Read the rest of this entry »
What a dreary day….It’s rained here now for 2 days solid. We’re getting whats left of hurricane Hanna. We needed it though, things were starting to dry up. It’s hard to believe we needed the rain after all we had this spring. I makes it hard doing interior repair when it’s so wet outside though, water based dyes take forever to dry and whats really hard is trying to fix a cigarette burn in cloth when the humidity is so high, virtually impossible. But I did manage to get some stuff done today, and one that I’m going to talk about today and it’s those ugly screw holes in plastic that have been left from the previous owner of the automobile.

Well I hope your holiday weekend was a good one. Labor Day is always the last blast of the summer here for us. We spent our time at the lake soaking up some sun, and fun. It was a beautiful weekend, and the lake was finally back down to pretty much normal from all the rain we’ve had here. This year was definitely one for the record books. With the lake being up so far and so murky that the fishing has been terrible, but I did manage to pull a few out this year. I caught two this time down, a 14″ and a 15″ Bass, not real sure what the weight was on them though, but they were a couple of beauty’s.
As I was sitting there on the dock this weekend I couldn’t help to think of what I was going to write this week. I started thinking of some jobs that have been somewhat of booger for me, and I couldn’t help to think of the fist time I painted silver plastic trim. You know where the paint rubs off or scratches off and leaves you the black plastic underneath. Read the rest of this entry »
What a beautiful work day it was here in the Ozarks! We had 60′s in the morning and low 80′s this afternoon, which is really unusual for August.
Well I said in my last post that I would give you guys a post on my daily activities, and here’s the first. Thought I’d share a little of what I do on a daily basis, to let you all know in a little more detail of the repairs I do on a daily basis. The way I’m gonna try to do this is to not just list the vehicles I worked on and tell you what I fixed and so on, but I’m gonna pick a couple that either gave me fits or I feel would be a good one to talk about. Some will be long and some short, but I hope to give you a lot of info. Read the rest of this entry »
