The Delta HLR Kit... It's simply the best!

[GLASSTIME]

Hello all,

Just thought I would share a moment about my new Delta Kits Headlight Restoration kit! I finally purchased my company one after all this time of not having this product line of thier in my arsenal of fine Delta Equipment! My expectations have been exceeded! The kit is well placed together, it comes in the same rugged and durable toolbox as the WSR kit's. It's all pre organized foam inserts. I really appreciate that as I am sometimes known to be a neat freak!

So overall incrediable kit, I give it 1,000,000 out of 1,000,000

On to performance! Ok so the way I used to always do my HLR jobs is I would first tape everything off using painters masking (Brown Paper ) on a roll, I am sure you know what I am referring to along with blue tape to adher the paper to the vehicles body! I would then tape around the HL, Cover the windshield and then by hand sand the lenses. Afterwards I would mix up into a mini detail spray gun and a air compressor my 2 part Clear and Activator. Same stuff for Automotive Clear.

The results were always amazing and I and the client really liked the results everytime.

Except for those days it decided to be raining, to cold, to hot, or to windy! I'd sometimes have guys say there getting runs, guns aren't spraying correctly due to the fact they haven't been cleaned so on so forth!

Those days are history!

I recently had the chance to redo my Mother in Laws Headlight using the New Delta Kit HLR Systerm!
WOW! My total time was 45 min. I only had to tape off around the lenses. 1/4 of each product in a mixing cup and a little swoosh and I went to wiping on the (Clear) is what I will call it. But before that there was a dramatic improvement before I even applied the 2 part with Delta! It's like those 3k disc fine tunes the lenses and the 2 part is like icing on the cake sort of speak!

Everthing dried in minutes I removed my tape around the lenses and here was my results!


Way to go with an extroidanary kit Delta! I would highly recommend purchasing this Headlight Restoration system over any other system on the market as i have used them!

Thank you for the kind words Chad. Korey told me you were pretty excited when you called this weekend.

I have a question. Had these lenses been restored in the past? I don't normally see the horizontal lines that show in your before photo.

Brent I see the same cross marks on some of the vehicles that I do the HLR on. Sometimes I may have to use 2-3 320 or 600 Sanding disc. I just finished my 4th headlight since I stopped using the liquid polish. I can't tell the difference. I am ordering the 3000 today. Question? I completed a Bucik Park Ave HLR today and it had that wow factor. The rear lights of this vehicle had the same type of fogging over the lens. The lens outer cover appears clear and the red plastic underneath.
I used prep spray and it cleared up some. The owner didn't want to spend more stripping that outer cover down. My question is this. Can I sand that lens with the same type of results we get for the front? I've done turn signals and foglamps with excellant results. No matter how I measure my UV coating I seem to always use more of the Clear solution than the dark. Sometimes I have to use a little of the clear to remove finger prints after I tell the driver not to touch it, or to remove a run from the lens. Is it possible to order just a bottle of the clear. I asked Mendy yesterday and she said it was set up as a pair only item. If Iam having this problem I know others must be facing the same sistuation. I did 3 headlights and 4 WSR for a local insurance company this week. They were impressed with the results. I am hoping that company will send me leads. All these vehicles were company and personal vehicles of the owner. The owner asked me to look at his mercedes rear convertible top window. I plan to test a small square to see if the UV will work on it. I will let you know the results. Have a good weekend.

We finally ran across a lens that was extremely difficult to polish yesterday. We've never seen the brand before so we believe it to be an aftermarket lens. The 320 grit sanding disc was taking far too long so we switched to a 180 grit and that took it right off. Until now we've held off on including the 180 grit in our professional headlight restoration systems because we were afraid it would increase the risk of damage to the vehicle, but after yesterday's experience I think we will be adding the 180 grit in the near future.

Often the Clean2Prep followed by the Coat2Protect will make tail lights look like new again, but if the factory coating has deteriorated to the point that stripping is required, the process is no different than it is for headlights. The only problem that I have encountered is that some tail lights have grooves, bends, and shapes that make machine sanding a bit challenging, so more hand sanding may be required on tail lights. Light bars on police and emergency vehicles can also be done and are often overlooked by headlight restoration technicians.

We only sell the two parts of the Coat2Protect as a set because you should always be using an equal amount of each product. I would not recommend using just one part or the other even for touch up. To keep customers from touching the lens before it is dry just tell them that doing so voids the warranty. A friend of mine used to tell windshield repair customers that just to keep them from putting finger prints on the glass after he had completed the repair and cleaned the glass. If you are getting runs you just need to cut down on the amount of product you put on your towel and make sure you are mixing equal amounts of the coating and the catalyst.

Brent I ordered the 3000 today & the UV coating: I dont have that many runs, but sometimes depending on the weather I will see a slight drip mark after it has been on the lens a few minutes. Its too dry when I spot the run to use the same towel, so I have found a little of the clear works great to pull it out. I've done the emergency lights on a Fire truck and it looked great after applying the UV coating. I have a Church front lawn display cover to do within a few weeks. I tested a small square and it turned out ok, but didn't have that wow factor. It may be a very thin plexaglass. However the end results were the letters are now clearer and the messages can be read at a distance. I told them the UV was made for polycarbonate, but they were happy with the results anyway. I am awaiting the church boards approval. You would not guess have often I will tell someone not to touch and within minutes they rub a finger across the lens. For some reason they just can't believe what they are seeing is actually their headlight. That WOW factor is what I look for after each restoration. I hate to charge extra to touch it back up, but it takes time, and more solution. That comes out of my pocket. Have a good weekend.

I know, my own employees sometimes cannot resist touching a freshly restored headlight. You have a good weekend as well.

I enjoy it when a customer who is new to the idea of HLR witnesses the first step to this process once everything is taped off. The first expression is "OH NO!", as if I just destroyed their lights with sandpaper. Generally they will imediately go back into their house and not come back out probably thinking the worse. Once completed, I knock on the door and the very next thing out of their mouths is "OH MY GOODNESS!... that will teach me to watch."

Every customer I service is more than happy with the results. Some customers say that they have tried buffing them out from some store brand kit and the end results don't even come close to Delta's keeping in mind that the Delta Kit restoration system keeps the lens protected for very long time.

Brent, I am sure we have already discussed this question over the phone. However for new guys wanting to get into the HLR business I wanted to answer it here. Yes at a point in time I had a guy offer me a trial Headlght Restoration kit from a company I will not mention here. However it to was a 2 part wipe on but with a foam applicator brush. So I tried the system on this jeep and even when applyin the clear it was obvious the lines were present. I was very upset to say the least and just figured one day I would get around to redoing them for my mother in law.

That was a big issue I had in the beginning about the Delta Kit cinsidering its a wipe on system as well. But the photos can prove that isnt an issue at all!
I am very satisfied and continue to have great repor from my clients through my Headlight Restoration!

Good Day!
