As far as the Chevrolet. These were horrible and I had no idea it would take so long when I started but then some people say I am stubborn I think I just perservere. I really do not know what made them so bad but I think somewhere along the line someone may have put some kind of after market coating on them that was just a bear to remove. Here is how it went. I use the dvelup system, Carry a generator which ran out of gas (1 1/2 gal), Cleaned the headlights, scrubbed with the scour pad (burgundy) started sanding with 320 grit. This was not very effective but was progressing slowly, after 2 hrs. I was out of gas and so was my generator. I told the customer I had to come back in a couple days, Got some 220 grit sandpaper, and after scrubbing with a Green scour pad went at it again. I wish I would have gotten some 180 grit sandpaper but the 220 was working better than the 320 grit, when I could see the lens crud was removed I then stared my sanding progression to 320,600,1000,2000, then finished with the coating (The 220 was by hand, the rest was power), A little over 2 hrs. later I was just finishing up when the customer came out of his house and was just about to tell me that I had worked too long and too hard on this job when he stopped dead in his tracks and I got the "WOW, I can't believe it". I charged the quoted price. The guy was so happy because before he would not even go out at night.
As far as the moisture goes (to get back on subject) There is a saying on the W/S repair site "When in doubt, Dry it out", but remember that you will need to find where the moisture came from. Oh yeah, the old Ford was at least 17 or 18 years old so I am only guessing that is not as old as Brent. (How is that for covering my tracks)
Come on over Brent
