Meguiar's will be providing their complete arsenal of resurfacing discs, assorted products and tools along with my experienced training to help you as well as show you the proper techniques for getting the best HLR possible!

This clinic will be strictly limited to no more than 12 participants


This unique Headlight Lens Restoration Clinic and certification workshop will performed by David M. Sylican, Professional Detailer and Headlight Lens Restoration Expert with over 26 years of hands on experience. With hundreds of lenses corrected and years of working with aftermarket coating manufactures, I have decided that it is time to teach my art of HLR to others.

Many of you have followed my Headlight Lens Restoration projects over the years and I appreciate the support and praise you have given me. With that said I have decided to pass this technique along to other master detailer’s and tech’s so that together we can handle this epidemic and create a standard in this industry.

Here is an outline of what my Headlight Lens training and certification clinic will cover:

• Learn how to properly inspect and evaluate headlight lens damage and decay
• Learn how to identify various defects and initial prep steps
• Learn the proper types of d/a machines that can be used, electric and pneumatic to accomplish this trade
• Learn where to start when resurfacing “Disc grade” and what to finish off with, low to high grits.
• The importance of a dust and dirt free enviroment for quality finish
• Why it is important to constantly wipe down the lens with a lens dryer and the need to always inspect your work before moving to the next step

• Learn about various coating system options available, and train on my preferred method

• Resurface and polish then seal – OTC systems
• Wipe on coatings
• Spray on UV cured coatings
• Spray on and air cured coatings – Our preferred method that cures with air

• Out of the car bench restoration versus on the car correction
• Proper masking and vehicle covering techniques
• How to correctly apply the UV coating, tips and techniques
• Proper lens drying and curing techniques
• Post HLR cleanup, quality control and inspection
• Level 3 quality correction, leveling out orange peel, structure, fisheye and dust or dirt in the finish
• Learn to polish lens to a perfect brilliant and crystal clear finish
• Customer delivery and presentation with a warranty
• Providing you customer with care tips and hints for longevity

Training for the above class is priced below, keep in mind that the course is the same for all levels. The difference in the cost reflects the products and equipment that will come with that level package.
