Headlight Restoration in NOVA

simpleM3 · 10-23-2014, 01:40 PM

Does anyone know of a reputable place where I can get my headlights restored? Please don't suggest or recommend that I do it myself as I have tried this in the past and failed. Not to mention I don't have the time or patience.

how bad is it though? I have never seen an e9x car with faded headlights yet. If you in the woodbridge area I can do it for free for you. its real easy just like fixing a scratch on paint. if the headlights are really bad you just have to put a light sandpaper on it and compound and polish it out. it works really well...i should have taken some pictures of the cars that I have done. my favorite was a g35 i did...went from cant see through it to brand new lol.

I know you said you don't want to do it yourself, but I used a 3M kit that requires the use of a drill. Took me 15 to 20 mins per side and was really easy. Kit was like $20 something. If you're in the area, bring it over and I'll do it for you. Donate some Peroni and we all good.
