How many vechicles can your Retail DIY Kit restore? Will it do brake lights too?
LTBL's Retail DIY Kit can restore up to 3 medium size vechicles. That's 6 pair of headlights. Yes, it can do brake lights, tail lights, running lights, side lights, side markers, dome lights, gauges, the emergency light bars...anything that is hard PET plastic, arcylic, Lucite, polycarbonate plastic.
How long does the process take? How long does it take to dry?
Most vehicles take an average of about 15 minutes per headlight. Of course, if you decide that you want to restore the complete vehicle (tail lights and side lights) expect about 1 hour. Once you complete the entire restoration, it will dry to the touch in 15 to 25 minutes. You can speed up the drying time by turning the headlights on (the heat from the light will assist with the drying). You may drive the vehicle after that. We only ask that you let it fully cure for 24 to 48 hours before you wash it or run it through a car wash.
How clear can you get my headlight lenses and how long will it last?
Our restoration kits can restore the clarity of your headlights up to 95% or more. It is guaranteed to last for years. LTBL.biz products will restore both the appearance and increase the safety of your light lenses.

No, we do not have to remove your headlights. Our process is intended to be done with your headlights in place. Our product's tested results, will leave you well assured that your vehicle is in good hands...every step of the way!
Can this process damage my car?
Not at all...our products are water soluble and in no way will harm your vehicle's finish. LTBL.biz products are a proprietary blend of lubricants, abrasives and UV inhibitors specifically formulated for repairing, renewing and protecting plastic surfaces.

I have seen other lens restoration products and services advertised. What is the difference between LTBL.biz and the others?
Yes, there are other lens restoration products available. The difference is that our product brings the plastic lens back to its original finish, whereas most just apply a cleaner that soon wears off after a couple of months. Our product removes surface damage and fully restores the original UV protectant coating to your lens. Our patented coating will last for years. LTBL.biz will cost you less money.
I recently purchased your kit. Are there any tips you can share regarding the usage?
Yes, the following is a list of tips to maximize the restoration method.
10 HELPFUL TIPS TO INSURE AND MAXIMIZE YOUR RESTORATION PROJECT RESULTS
- It is important to remember to always keep your work area clean, take your time and carefully check your work at every stage of the restoration process.
- Restoration should be performed in the shade above 50º F in an environment that is shielded from or free of wind.
- Do not perform restoration if vehicle will be exposed to rain or snow during or within 10 minutes of process.
- You may tape the surrounding headlight area using blue painter’s tape, should you want an easier cleanup.
- After Stage 2: Conditioning, take the alcohol swab and wipe the entire lens to remove any conditioner residue. Make sure the surface is completely dry. You want to work with a smooth and clean surface.
- Before applying the UV Protectant, pre-test the spray bottle by spraying it a few times to check nozzle for any clogging.
- Always clean the spray nozzle with warm water to remove any UV Protectant after each use.
- You may use a piece of cardboard to remove any excess UV protectant run offs between the lens and the rubber or bumper, by sliding it across the bottom of the lens.
- Should you touch or smudge the lens during the 15 minute drying time, you can simply spray the lens down with water and remove the entire UV Protectant with a damp cloth. Wipe the lens completely dry and reapply the UV Protectant. If the surface has completely dried hard, you can remove the UV protectant by dousing the lens with 70% isopropyl alcohol and peel it off in strips. You may reapply the UV protectant.
- You may apply a second coat of UV Protectant should you desire. Wait at least 30 minutes between drying time before applying a second coat.
IMPORTANT: Initial damage removal is critical. If steps are incomplete or the job is rushed, the final result will be poor. Check your work at every step of the way. This will determine the quality of your
restoration.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO THROUGHLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS (WHICH ARE ENCLOSED IN YOUR KIT), BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR RESTORATION PROJECT. THIS WILL ENSURE YOU ACHIEVE MAXIMUM RESULTS.
