There is a company that sells a gel stripper and a guy named Ray R... sent me an email about it through the windshield referral website. I assumed it was you!
I was going to order some as a R & D project for the weekends.

Keep me posted on that gel t4k 
Cheers mate!
(The headlights look great by the way!)
Candy - tried a drill yet? Maybe remove the coating with the drill, then back to the Griot's?
Less chance of "pig tails" from the harsh 180/320 and Griot's combo

Not sure I'll order any stripper gel now....I thought it was being sold by Ray6.
I'm in hot water again!

To all:
As a business we rent email lists of headlight restorers and send out promotional material. At least one person on this list is also a member of this forum. Since there is no direct email addresses used on the forum there's no way to know if any other forum members are on there email lists. So, if you received an email form us and have a problem with it, just delete it or respond indicating you do not want to receive emails from us.
So rather than suffering the humiliation of being kicked out of the forum, I will gracefully stop posting on the forum. My apologies.

About 2 weeks ago, I did a 2003 Dodge Ram that was a nightmare. The problem was the shape of the lenses. Each lens had 2 bubble shaped domes on them. Because of the shape, machine sanding was incredibly difficult. A lot of small areas around the domes where the drill couldn't lay flat to sand smoothly. Hard to describe accurately without pics, but if you've done 1 with similar headlights, you know what I'm talking about.

I did 2 a few months ago. The 3" orbital did fine. I did take a few pads and sand by hand in a couple of spots. One of the trucks looked really good. The other ones left lens didnt look 100% to me just under the bubble where it curves back out near the center. The owner was happy so I didnt bother with it. I did three vehicles that day for the same rancher. One was an Impala and I spent 2 hours on it and more than 20 pads, although I started with 180 discs. The custmer was well satisfied with all three.
