First client
I started doing this not too long ago and have done about 3 cars for practice. Today was the first actual client i’ve managed to get. him and his wife were super happy with the results since he told me he tried doing them himself previously but it did not work/last long. I’ve had many inquiries lately but have been having a hard time getting people to actually accept the service. Any tips on getting people to bite? Or is it more about getting a high volume of inquiries to get the couple people that will go through?

Amazing .
Another restoration done today on an Acura RDX.
The headlights were heavily oxidized and cloudy, but after a full restoration they came out crystal clear again. Huge difference in both appearance and visibility. Every job is another step forward for The Peak Headlight Restoration Group

Logo
Hey guys, I just got my logo made and wanted to get some feedback. I'm based in Colorado, so I went with the name Peak and tried to design the logo around that theme. Let me know what you think.

Lowest recommended sandpaper grit?
Question for the Group: What is the lowest grit sandpaper you've used for headlight restoration... and not regretted it? I'm stuck at 400 and only use that occasionally. Just wondering if it's advisable and safe to go lower. If you used lower, please specify if that was using a power tool or sanding by hand. Thanks in advance for your response.

@John Shipps I still wet sand with lower than 400.

120 was the lowest I've gone on one light. 180 on the other side. It was a 1k or 2k spray. Takes a lot of sanding to take it off and even more to even out the scratches. Then go up in grit steps from there.

The 2018 Kia Sportage that I did this morning I thought 800 grit was going to be enough to sand it down, but it was not so I went to 600 grit and worked my way up and spent almost an hour on one lens. And it’s still did not remove the peeling clearcoat so after I put on the ceramic coating, you could still identify the highs and lows, but the haze was all gone. Maybe I should just stop taking jobs that aren’t full clearcoat failure. The client was still happy because the cloudiness was gone, but ultimately it’s not going to last.

@Kate Westerman I had the same with an 06 Ford mustang, the outside lights had a spray had to do 180 on those . Lol

Exactly like Christopher said don't be afraid to go low on grits. You only need to worry about making those deep scratches even . Take your time. Don't worry that it's not happening that fast . Perfect your craft. Trust the process. And know you can do it!!! Doing a great job
