CERAKOTE/Headlight Magic
I have been using headlight magic products for the last 6 months and I absolutely love them. The results are awesome, ROI is great and Jason is always generous to give away products and training. One of my friends is getting into headlight restoration and I recommend that he buy headlight magic products. He said that he was probably going to get CERAKOTE, mainly because it is a little cheaper. So, my question is, is there any difference between the step 1/ step 3 products from CERAKOTE vs headlight magic? The only thing I have found is that one uses wipes and the other uses a bottle. Both will do 50 sets, although CERAKOTE seems to be a little cheaper if you are buying just step 1 and 3. Like I said, I personally use headlight magic, I'm just wondering if there is any difference/ any reason my friend should use it over CRERAKOTE

Thatās not apples to apples. Iām pretty sure the packaged cerakote is the same as the bottle. But the youāre wrong about the amount of cars it can do. According to Cerakote youāre supposed to use about 4 step one wipes per headlight and a separate step three wipe on each light. So that would get you 12.5 cars for the Step 1 box and 10 cars for the Step 3. With experience he might be able to stretch it further. With headlight magic you can control how much of the product you use on each light abs everything is more concentrated so a little goes a long way. Then you can reseal the bottle for later. Once you open a Cerakote wipe you have a few minutes to use it before it dies up. But Iām sure itās fine to start with thoughā¦ work his way up..

Clear coat and temperature
Is there a certain temperature outside where the final clear coat wonāt preform as it should? Itās around 30 degrees currently so I was wondering if itās ok to restore headlights in this weather.

Temperature doesnāt matter as much as moisture in tHe air. Moisture is the enemy of almost all coatings

New Ceramic Product Question
Jason, first of all thank you for all the great information in the Mechanic Training. I got a question, if I buy the new Ceramic Product, does that come with application pads? If not where do you recommend we can get them? Thank you.

@Carlos Cortes the restoration ceramic by itself has been $189 since it came out. Maybe there was just a flash sale happening that ended

Porsche
Got these photos from a customer. I've never worked on a Porsche before so just wanted to ask if there's anything I should be aware of? Drivers side looks like it possibly has some micro cracks so I'm a little worried about that.

Porsches arenāt easy but theyāre one of my favorite cars to do. Mainly because their owners have been told their headlights are shot by their detailers and theyāre so appreciative when I come and fix it! And you can charge V a nice premium. Honestly, if I did two Porsches a day, Iād be a happy man. Lol. Often times when you see stuff like this itās just the clear coat thatās breaking up. I normally wouldnāt start any higher than 320 and often I go down to 180. I see you say you did them already post some pics!

@Craig Jones Iāve never had a need to go below 180 but I wouldnāt recommend that grit if youāre new.
