style="" />[quotel paint correction can transform a vehicle's appearance - machine polishing can remove light scratches, swirl marks, blemishe</blockquote>Paint correction is about polishing (meaning - cutting away - all the unwanted such as oxidized paint, with heavy cutting such as compound (level 12 cut) or Polish a milder version ( about level 4 cut) going deeper to remove scratches & contaminants - such as swirls, oxidations, water marks_____________________________________________________________________________________________ my version in 3 minutesas eye is the window to our soul, so does the headlamp is the eye to a car.... often we judge the car basing on the headlamp, usually it will cost a bomb to replace them... in regards of whether the car make from perodua to porsche...as I have share in my prevous blog1st restoring worka barely 5 years old Myvi - head lamp charred - turn yellowish - aka oxidized she has been polish every years since after the first

headlamp?modern car head lamp are commonly made of compression-moulded or injection moulded plastic, 2 factor contributing to such oxidations,firstly the roadside foam wash (harsh chemicals & sponge use during washes) often this sponge soaked & filled with dirt, grim and sand that is not wash away became - TA DA sand paper) try to send for just one wash on just detail black car and check out the finishingthis is the 2 most thrased exterior part of the car (our halogen uses heat the filament to a greater degree create light during night use -Reflector optics) and sun during the day..and combine with the roadside sand paper wash..ta da.. it is just like scrapping off the UV resistance protector, worst still if it is Projector (polyellipsoidal) with a High-intensity discharge (HID)
