Today in Small Engine class the students learned how to repair cloudy, dull headlights. This is a common problem in modern vehicles due to plastic headlight lens degrading over time. It can become a driving hazard because it limits the output of the headlights. In order to repair the headlight, the students had to sand the headlight lens to prepare it for the next step. Once the headlight lens is sanded, a protective UV clear coat is put on the headlight to help avoid dulling in the future. The headlights are now clear and look new again.
