    All exterior! no issues inside.
    Very rarely do I ever have to go inside a lense. Only in the event that a seal was broken and humidity got in,then you get alot of water spots.

    Wow, that's actually pretty amazing. What's to stop them from hazing up again though? Do you apply something to the finished product? Not looking for the secret recipe, just asking it's just bare lens at the end of your process.

    Just a light coat of wax every 2 weeks or so or whenever you wash your car.
    Longest set of lights i did are going 2 years strong with no hazing at all.

    I don't wash and wax my truck anymore Hence the stoneguard covers. They are pretty thick and seem to be very well made.

    I'm trying to figure out what accent to give the voice in my head as I read this spam.

    hcould- having done my own lenses (using a 3M kit and then several other polishing products), your work is absolutely AMAZING / SUPERIOR!!!

    Chris- I've had the Stongard covers on for over 2 years AND I REALLY LIKE THEM.
    I didn't have a heat gun back then, and just used a hair dryer so they didn't come out as well as they could have. The piece on the outer side of the horn came unglued the next day so I cut it off. Then other side did same, cut it off.
    Then a pucker formed directly under the horn because I hadn't apparently applied them flat enough on the forward facing part, and dirt accumulates in it
    So ------> I bought another pair (seller gave me a good discount) and now I have a heat gun and got some input from members here, and now plan on doing it RIGHT!

    Even though I have some very very small air bubbles, if you step back about 4 ft, you can't even tell they're on, they just dissappear.
    Despite all of the above, I just love these Stongard things for the driving conditions I have.

    So now after seeing how your lights came out so awesome, I'm thinking of having hcloud do my lights, and then I'll apply my Stongards!

    Isn't it interesting how the changes in automotive manufacturing techniques can generate entire new industries. 5 years ago cladding treatments were unheard of. 3 years ago headlight restoration kits were unheard of.

    Thanks Detroit for helping to cure that unsightly bulge caused by too many greenbacks in my wallet.
