Before


















Clear Film and Vinyl removal using steam




as well as using a heat gun here on the vinyl




after the film was removed we tackled the headlights

here they are a bit hazed up and cloudy




Close up will show some sanding marks from possibly another detailer that attempted to fix the headlights





improvements on the headlights
