    Default doesn't look very good

    i prepared the headlights very well...i cleaned it thoroughly with window cleaner let it dry...then with some rubbing alcohol and let it dry.

    They came out dull and foggy...i dont know what else to say really...im disappointed..

    also i let it sit overnight and it still hasn't dried the whole way still a tad tacky in some parts

    happya$$ heated his can of Veil with a blow dryer before applying it and it came out very nice. You might try that.

    No such worries in Texas, where the ambient air is always hotter than a blow dryer, even at night.

    Sorry to hear that. The only tips I can give anyone are:

    1) Apply it at temps of about 65-70 degrees F

    2) Shake the can for about 5 minutes

    3) Use a blow dryer to heat the can up for about 5 minutes

    4) Clean your headlights with ammonia and finish wiping them with rubbing alcohol (91%). Use Mr Clean Magic Eraser

    5) Make sure it does not rain for the next two days after application (happened to my Benz so now it looks bad

    6) apply Veil

    alright did it again...the car is garaged so i don't have to worry about rain..its 71 outside so my garage is about 75 to 76 degrees...a lot better then 90+...it looks like its better. I will check the headlights in the morning...one hour went by and the veil was still tacky so i don't know how long it takes to dry..the fogs are in my spare bedroom drying they look better than before so we shall see tomorrow morning..


    VEIL GUY make an aresol can like spray paint on your next generation or have it as an option so we know it goes on even..

    I cliff noted Greek Mythology back in 8th grade when we were supposed to learn it so I have absolutely no idea what that means.
