What did u do to your raptor today?

Oh damn! Yes I would definitely try the Meguiar's kit on those. Here's the Exploder before pic, they had a little yellowing but lots of oxidation creeping up from the bottom:

The Cerakote kit did great on that, takes a while and a lot of effort with the wet sanding pads though:

I didn't get a pic after the wrap, it has a bulge where the Raptor is relatively flat so I got a couple bubbles in it but it's good enough for getting groceries heh.

use a needle to get the bubbles out.

definitely use a clear wrap on the headlights after a restoration. they will last much longer. or hit a pole in a parking lot and let insurance cover it....

So here is mine. They were really bad.I started with 400 dry then wet 600, 800,1000, 1500, 2000 , then got out the buffing compound corse Mid, then fine finishing .

There is clear coat on them that needs to go.

This is after 400 and All the old clear is Now gone. I didn't get a pic after they were finished I guess. LOL but they look like new. I did all this with them on the bench and used a DA. so didn't take to long.the. 400 dry is key when they are wet you can't tell when you get all the clear gone. The first one took longer once I realized I needed to get all the old clear off went pretty quick. and I have a spare set so I wasn't afraid of messing this set up.

Gear pump assembly and an input seal plus labor. Could have been a bumper instead but here we are

I will get you some when the truck gets home.
The second set I have I am going to get the clear coat off them. sand them up to 1500 take them and get them re-clear coated. Then polish them. I think this will be the Best longest lasting remedy. We will see how long the just polished set last.

Should really think about getting a catch can.

Got a recommendation?

Got a recommendation?

Maxwell House. Or maybe Porter Paint.

Got a recommendation?

I liked my Moroso Large Catch can, it is really easy to empty.
I also used a one way valve from the catch can to the compressor to prevent any pressure from going back to the catch can.

That is bad, I'd say time for new headlights. My experience with restoring headlights is it doesn't last that long and the more times you do it the shorter it last.

They weren’t always this bad. The sun is a bit ch on plastic.
