Headlight Polishing
« on: 08 September 2010, 19:38:03 »
I'm thinking of setting up a deal for headlamp lens polishing,seems to be a common flaw with the miggys, and as i have most of the equipment to do them i thought why not?
Obviously because of where i live lenses would have to be sent by post, and registered post, i would insure the lens to the extent if i make a mess of it, you get a replacement free of charge,
 also will be buying some in to have off the shelf so to speak,
 which won't be anywhere near fleabay prices
I also intend to offer parts polishing,
 engine parts and such like, but again because they require posting won't be taking anything bigger than the plenum
Just a note i'm not offering anything at the minute, just curious to see if it generates any interest

Nice idea, but.. I for one would rather spend an hour polishing them by hand than have to remove the headlight, seperate the lens and post it off,part with some cash, then wait a few days and reassemble the headlight making sure the lens is sealed properly to avoid condensation problems ect, and refit headlight. But others may think differently.

True if you do them often they won'y get in bad shape,i'll be posting pics over next few days as one of mines very bad and needs more than a little polish
Headlamps don't need dismantling for this job,just properly sealed and masked where water might get in

from forum experience....if the adjusters were not broke when they were removed from the car....they will be once theyve been through the mail....

A refurb service of polish and adjuster replacement would work well though I reckon :y

The main drawback surely would be that the vehicle would be without headlights - limiting its use -  for the duration of the transaction.

Perhaps if you offered an exchange service where the original unit was returned (against deposit) after the customer had fitted the refurbished one/s, (with metal adjusters) - you would be required to hold these units in stock obviously?

Aye thats a better idea, to sell refurb units, it is a pain that where i live everything's gotta be shipped, i know i hate waiting so imagine everyone else does

Any deals for buying those adjusters in bulk?? :D ;D ;D ;D ;D
