Re: Anyone want to make some easy money?

I might get that, one of mine's gone a bit dodgy at the top. I think it's from the sun. The other light is perfect.

Re: Anyone want to make some easy money?

Def vouch for it - when the search function works again I will dig up my thread about the kit - before and after pics etc. Mine were proper s**t really spoiled the car, 2 hours later with the 3M kit they looked like new!

Re: Anyone want to make some easy money?

Haven't read it properly. Can you polish the lights by hand?

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

Re: Anyone want to make some easy money?

[imprezaworks]

Re: Anyone want to make some easy money?

Are you using it by hand? Just seen you need a drill

 

[Chi]

Re: Anyone want to make some easy money?

I've got drills Dan. . Ill give you a hand if you show me how to detail my car
Also got an unopened kit I'm unlikely to use. . Owes me £14

 

[imprezaworks]

Re: Anyone want to make some easy money?

Deal. Will have to sort sonething out mate

 

[Chi]

Re: Anyone want to make some easy money?

Cool ill bring car to your place on Sunday if your not busy. . Let me know

 

[imprezaworks]

Ok mate will give you a shout. Just a tad difficult at the moment with the boss being in 24/7 as he's done his shoulder in.

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

3 kit came today, spent about an hour and a half on one head light... much better... thanks guys

 

[imprezaworks]

Easy to do?

 

[Loz H]

Piece of piss, honestly.

You just sand, and sand, and sand, and sand, working your way through the grades of paper. then buff it out at the end with the pad & paste, and they look dazzlin'

 

[imprezaworks]

I need to get my ass in gear and order the kit

 

[Loz H]

Id reccomend some Glass sealant aswell, as sanding will obviously leave the plastic open to the elements, and eventually the oxidisation will re-appear

 

[imprezaworks]

Ok cheers

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

easy but my hand is killing from the drill...

whats that sealent your on about pal

Thats what i used on mine. Ive known people to sand them & leave them and they've gone shitty again within a month. Used it on mine and they're still perfect

 

[imprezaworks]

Great stuff. One of the lights is like new, the other stands out like a hole in the head.

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

can i not use normal glass polish?

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

may i just make a point ( not to be rude ) but glass sealant on plastic?

surely a good plastic sealant would be better? or even better a product like gtec c4 or c1.5?

Not sure, worth a try

Nah your probably right, that was the first thing i saw so i bought it aha (im a knobv for stuff like that)

 

[imprezaworks]

Anyone got a discount code for this? The £10free one doesnt work

 

[cat171]

What happens if you do them & just use Auto Glym polish afterwards ? will they go manky again ?
