Hi all -

Here is my process for HLR, using Infinity as the UV protectant.

If you're thinking of starting a HLR business, these are the results you can expect to achieve...

Before pics:






Sanding Pics:

400 Grit (Notice the TINY 3" Lithium-Ion sander/polisher, just a bit bigger than the sunglasses and no more leads!):

600 Grit:

1200 Grit

1500 Grit (not always used):


Polish:



Finished with Infinity:

I just found it as you were posting.... I was going to delete my post but can not.. Wonder how long the battery lasts?

Thats what the majority of mine look like. I am not too sure about using a drill. If I can find an orbital that has a btry pack I would use it. How expensive is the one shown in the photo? There are times I could use a Btry sander if its powerfull enough. The headlights look really good (WOW). The very first time I did a HLR I had that same result. I was so nervous. The owner looked at the lens prior to using the C2P and he was a little upset. After I applied the UV it was an instant success. I dont regret buying the HLR kit. It also paid for the WSR kit and trip across country to Oregon as wel,l within the first 6 months. Can you post some information on that drill.

Hi Candyman,

It's not a drill buddy - it's a heavy duty polisher/sander, although it IS rotary.

I love it!



You can also buy a 3" sander with rechargeable batteries too, not the same brand as Delta Kits- they are available in heaps of places - this is what they look like:

Thanks for the information. I will look these up in a few minutes. I wasnt expecting a response so quick. Iam normally on here between midnighht & 7am Sun Through Friday east coast time.

I found an 3in mini polisher acdelco 12V Li-on at empire: Is that the same as yours?

It's the ARS1207 - comes with 2x rubber 3" pads, 30min charger and TWO lithium-ion batteries.

Thats the one. Do you use the pads from delta kits and disc?
