[@dakotaangelique7173]

Thank you so much for documenting the whole process! I plan on getting a barchetta of my own and your videos help me gain knowledge about how to fix these issues

[@pauliecabs]

Thanks. I try and show as much detail as possible without making it too boring...I hope! I'm on Instagram as well, let me know if you need any more help. I'm not an expert but I'm happy to share what I've learned so far.

Hi, can I ask you how did you pass the ITV regarding the headlights? Did you have to change them or just adjust them?

[@pauliecabs]

Hi I've never had a problem with the headlights and the ITV. I just decided to repair them anyway. I think if the clear part of the lights isn't damaged then there is no problem

[@antonioblazquez1526]

@@pauliecabs thank you, I thought you imported the car from UK to Spain as I am trying to do. Thank you again and good job with the videos

Nice but hard work for the lights ! I hope to keep mine as new ;)

[@pauliecabs]

Run into the same problem. I did wet sanding up to 2000 and polished after. I used a restoration kit and it promised btter result, but noow I cannot get rid off that misty fog. Any advise without using varnish?

[@pauliecabs]

Sorry not an expert on this. It was the first time I'd done it. You could go up to 3000 and polish again. What don't you want to use varnish?

[@szabohunor91]

@@pauliecabs not against the varnish but I was wondering I made mistakes during the polishing? And how is the durability of the varnish layers? Is it last if not exposed too much of sunlight?

[@pauliecabs]

@@szabohunor91 just make sure you are thorough with each grade of sanding. Use 2k varnish for a more durable finish
