    I agree Mary. If/When I do this on customer vehicles, I would not attempt any wet sanding without a thickness gauge. Too much at risk unless you REALLY know what you're in to and what you are doing.

      Wow, you guys are just awesome!! What a great, methodical approach to learning the process and with excellent results the first time around. Your sanding looks fantastic; nice and uniform indeed.

      We'll be sure to pass this thread along to Stephanie so she can see what she helped you guys get started on.

      Great stuff, guys, and thanks for taking the time to document it and post it up here.

        Thanks for the kind words Mike. Don and I both really enjoyed ourselves.

          Wow! Awesome results. I really want to learn how to wetsand and use the rotary. The one two combination of those two utilities give amazing results.

            This is a great post. A good example of getting a Junk yard part and making it shine. This will be something that I will be able to reference. Especially when wet sanding. I gotta start trolling a Junkyard looking for canidates for a hood.

              Bob and Don,

              Thanks for taking the time to post your results. I enjoyed meeting you both at the clinic. Let me know if you need any assistance in the future. I hope to have another advanced clinic this summer. When you are ready lets get a headlight from the junk yard and get you on the fast track to headlight restoration!

                Stephanie,
                I think we both look forward to an advanced clinic if you hold one. We really enjoyed the last clinic and as you can tell, you inspired us to do this. I had to bring my own rotary (Makita) tho, Bob wouldn't give his up!
                Heck, bring on the headlight(s), fenders, hoods, trunks, tops....WE ARE READY FREDDIE!!

                Let us know about the advance class.

                Thanks Stepahnie.
