I will use a combo of the two types of techniques.I first will spray with a yellow-X type chemical and remove crust-dirt etc. with a scotch pad.Wipe dry and then use a 500 grit disc (w/sander)to completely remove old U/V coating.I then will wetsand w/1000-1500(hand or sander) and buff clear with compound until lens look shiney and new(use a 3M dimple pad 3 or 5" for better control).I final wipe with rubbing alcohol until squeeky clean and the apply top coating.I have very extensive damage from U/V here on the Gulf coast and as such might be a little longer to do here but the results are 100% and the volume is excellent.

Its nice to be able to completely recon a car for a dealer and makes you much more valuable then just a "one trick pony"

I will do a bumper blend-repair for $125.00 -200.00 (1-2.5 hrs)..add t/up 45.00-65.00 fix w/shield for 35.00 W/Sale.and restore headlights 55.00 w/sale and it really pays off.I do the headlights/w-shield/t/up while waiting on things to dry etc.With the time and expence of fuel etc I find its alot more profitable to keep working most of the day at one or two location then chasing w/shield stars all across the country JMHO.........the more you can do the more you will make and will become very valuable to your customers instead of just a necessary evil.........multi tasking is where the $$$$$$$$$$$$$ is at.
