Thanks for the reply.
Yes, Korey and I are chatting via email as we speak - I'm sure we can figure something out.
When I made up the Infinity, I made it up so that it didn't drip as per the video Korey sent - So I guess it's my technique that needs improving.
In response to your "Crystal Clear" let me errm "clear" that comment up!...The lights that I restore are hardly ever ALL yellow, 80% of them are one quarter or a third from the top damaged only - thus leaving the remainder like a new light.
As you know, in order to restore them, the whole lot has to come off, not just the top damaged bit. When I sand the whole light back and follow the process to the letter - the result is nothing like the original - it's cloudier and has a milky tint to it - I've tried to capture it and sent a couple of pics to Korey.
As it stands, there is no way I can charge a customer for the work and I would definitely turn away any business on new cars due to the results.
It's concerning as I just moved to Delta Kits - but like I said, I'm sure there will be an answer
I hate putting this info on a forum - I LOVE my WSR kit, it's perfect!
Hey Pommy,
I realize this is a couple of months old posts but I'm new to the forum and the biz.. I ran across the exact same problem yesterday while working on a infinity M35. Only half of the light needed restored and the other half was like new, after I finished all the steps the like new section was no where as clear as it was prior to sanding actually the whole light was missing the wow factor but the customer was happy prob because the light looked more even and clearer bc of the damage being removed. I for one was very discourage. I've done abt 10 lights and really was expecting this to be one of my best and it came out as the worst in my opinion. I even told the customer she can just pay me half but she insisted on paying the whole amount because of how hard she seen me work and the fact that it still looked better then it did before.. Even called me today to tell me she got compliments on it from family members who knew what it looked like before and how much she appreciated the work I put into it.. GO Figure!! I don't know if I did not apply enough pressure or maybe to much or is it something with these newer cars.. It made me not want to mess with newer high end cars until I figure out why this is so... I would appreciate any insight on this that you might have came across..
