I have been restoring headlights for the past 8 years, and i have never had a customer come back to complain , i use IPS and a modify technique to get the quality that i need.




Glassstars...have you seen any h/l that you have cleaned over a lets say a year that are still looking good?...just curious as anybody else have anything to report as far as holding up..you have convinced me to give it a try...will buy product this weekend....thanks[/quote]


I use the same process as Glassstars (previously known as Dvelop) uses, without the WD-40, which i will try next week. I started using this process 2 1/2 months ago, so I can't give you a year's worth of history. I do know this....I have a 1999 Tacoma that I use for this business and I have reconditioned the HL's several times using the old sand and buff process with no sealer and the yellow always returnes. The first HL's I restored when I started using the sealer was my own truck and they still look brand new after almost 3 months. This is the reason I experimented with my truck so I could watch the progress of deterioration if there was going to be any. I will reort back as times goes on.[/quote]

GTECH,

I am fairly new on the forum but I checked your profile, went to your website, and sent you an email on Sunday but I have not received a reply. I also called the number on your website and left a message. I am VERY interested in the IPS system that you are using and would really like to speak with you regarding your experiences. I am not yet able to send private messages but if you could check your email, you will have my contact information. I did call Dave on Monday and spoke with him at length but I would like to speak to someone that is actually been using his system in the field. I would really appreciate if you could return my phone call and/or email.

Sincerely,
Allen
