Headlight Correction and Protection with Optimum OptiLens

Modern headlights are now unfortunately made more from plastic than glass. Without proper protection, the plastic headlight covers are prone to scratching and discoloration from UV degradation which is hazardous and unsightly.

However, with the proper tools and techniques, the plastic can be recovered and properly protected.

Before: The plastic headlight cover is scratched and dull.

Taped off and wetsanded to smooth out surface imperfections.

Sanding continues until the underlying surface is smooth.

This is followed by a finer sandpaper to refine the surface before compounding and polishing.

Correction completed.

This process is repeated on the other headlight.

Having a proper sanding block is important to ensure the surface is level.

Optimum OptiLens coating being applied on the corrected headlights to prevent oxidization of the plastic and resist UV degradation.

Gti Coupe Carbon Fiber hood get Restore and protected by Alien Coat @ Detailien HIves

Many months ago, we coated 1 of the 2 GTi R, and now she has a new hood....but Which some with scuffles and light scratches making her less appealing 




it has to coated....many would have...just done it but here in detailien we are very stringent and strict towards imperfections/damages (prior installing this permemnant coating to protect her)




carbon fiber hood is basically a car hood made of this material.Carbon fiber is a very strong, light and expensive composite material. 


more lines of imperfection


Scientifically speaking it is a fiber reinforced polymer. The polymer involved here is epoxy but oth ers that are sometimes used are nylon, polyester or vinyl ester.
