Re: Prcatice
Obviously I recommend the Delta Kits headlight restoration system
If you don't have a car available you can pick up practice headlights at wrecking yards for a few bucks each. We lock them into a Rockwell Jawhorse for demos but headlight restoration is one of the few things I have come across that really doesn't take much practice at to produce stellar results if you are using the right system and products. As long as you are careful not to damage the paint or metal surrounding the headlight you should see very good results on your first attempt, and if you are not happy you can sand it down again and do it over. It really is that simple! However, doing at least one practice headlight before you tackle a customer's car will provide you with a lot of confidence.
