  • Pictures from Thursday Night Open Garage - July 2, 2015

    A busy night in the Training Garage just before the Independence Day weekend!

    Got yellow, foggy headlights? Not a problem with Perfect Clarity Headlight Restoration!


    First, clean with the included cleaning solution and scuff pad


    Once clean, the lens should have a uniform frosted grey appearance.


    We masked off the area with 3M pre-taped painters plastic.


    Now simply spray the included UV protectant aerosol - that's it.


    Honestly, it will probably take longer to mask off the surrounding areas than it will to clean and spray the lenses!!


    While this minivan was in for a bit of a quick one step makeover, we tackled it's headlights, too.


    Fully masked off, the cleaner is put to work.


    Cleaned and scuffed, ready for the protectant spray.


    A couple of wet coats are all that's needed.


    Two easy steps and this is the result. It's not actually magic, it just feels that way sometimes!


    The paint on the minivan was definitely swirled, but it also just looked.... blah.








    OK, so the swirls are gone and clarity is restored. But hey, it's still a metallic beige minivan, so don't expect it to look like a Lamborghini now!


    Metallic black Mazdaspeed 3 with a nasty scratch down the side of the driver's door.


    Ouch!


    Below the door handle the scratch was really nasty.


    DA Microfiber Correction System on the MT300 to the rescue!


    Now where did that scratch go?


    At a certain angle, with the right light, you can still find remnants of the really deep scratch under the door handle. But for the most part it's not visible under normal conditions. Still, it is there but that's because it was really deep, and sometimes you just can't safely fix everything. Discretion was definitely the right approach here!

    A nice variety of cars and issues on the night!

    Is there an exciting new show coming soon? "Mike Stoops presents: Minivan Makeovers!"

      There would be nothing at all exciting about such a show. So, no.
