Materials include Dvelup's Yellow X, Clear Wipe, Slicker and buffing compound. All of the above can be purchased as a kit from Dvelup (if you so choose). I did.

The process is simple. Wet sand the lenses to remove old UV coating and corrosion (hand or power sanding depending on degree), buff lense to remove sanding streaks and then apply new UV coating.
Bois,

What would you say the cost to you is per repair? Curious as to the supplies cost per repair.

Thanks!
