All Shine Detailing: Acura TSX Headlight Restoration

[KenAllwine]

Here is a recent headlight restoration I did on an Acura TSX using the Presta product offering



As you can see, the factory coating is failing pretty bad:

After prepping, the failed coating was removed along with many of the chips and scratches in the lens itself:

And here is the lens after the UV coating has been reapplied.

Here is a quick before and after of the driver's side:

Looks very good! Do you have much experience with this kit?

I have done about 10 lenses with this kit. The nice thing with this kit is if you mess up when spraying (dirt, runs, etc), you can wipe it off with IPA and respray.

One of my favorite jobs to do is headlight restoration for the end clarity result. You've definitely achieved that result here. Looks perfect, great job! Have you only used the Presta kit for this kind of work or have you used other UV coatings? How would you compare others to this?

Thanks Johnathan! I haven't used anything other than Presta yet. I am looking into some other options but I have been pleased with the Presta finish. It is just very tricky to keep the dust down while the finish is curing.
