Detailer buffed a part of the headlight OEM film, need to restore.
Hey guys,
A detailer was buffing my car and went onto the headlight and seems to have buffed through some sort of OEM top film. At this point I think my best bet is to have a professional sand them down to remove the rest of the film, polish them to bring them back to the original look and cover them with 3+ year ceramic coating. Any other suggestions? Thank you! |

I would go back to the detailer ASAP and confront them with the damage. They broke it they fix it.

you can try one of those headlight restore kits from the auto parts stores. Since the covers are still in good condition, you maybe able to reseal them with the clear sealant from the kits.
The kits are cheap, probably from $10 to $20. Quote:

Thanks for the info guys. No ex's here lol. He buffed it off while doing paint correction for ceramic coating. So you are saying buff off that layer or film/ clearcoat (factory) on the whole headlight and re-polish?
